First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde is the 31st book I've read this year. Add the 17 comics collections/OGNs and I'm 8 behind pace for 75 in 226. I need to average 1 every 3.26 days to make it.
You know it's a busy time of the school year when I average only 22 minutes a day on my iPad (most of those minutes were reading comics last Sunday and scrambling to download my 10 Hoopla borrows before the month ran out). On the plus side, I'm finally under 60 pages to go in the book I'm reading.

This song hit as I turned east on my morning walk and saw the pinks and purples of the sunrise. There's beauty in walking the familiar streets and every day has a promise of something new. Then the oranges hit... "Love's the key to the things we see..."
