So far, I'm not sure what my thoughts are about participating in a structured reading challenge such as this. This is my first experience and I am cautious not to formulate an opinion until the challenge is over. So, more on that later...

I'd definitely be interested to hear your thoughts once it's over! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay in my response. I am still figuring out blogger and all its features. I didn't realize you had commented until earlier this morning. (Thank you, by the way, as you were my first "commenter.")
