When I first saw this on Brie's page, I didn't want to do it since I didn't think I had read too many. Then I saw it on Jenn's page so I decided I would go ahead and see how many I have read :) I haven't read near enough of them, but I actually read more than I thought I had considering I thought my count would have been 5 or so. I really need to read some more of them though. Have a Merry Christmas everyone! Happy New Year!
