  1. Ah, if only I didn't feel overwhelmed at the number of books I want to read this year, I would totally join. Maybe I'll read a few just for kicks. Love those yellow covers.

  2. Oh come on, you know you want to... :D

    Actually part of what I love about this is how short and quick they are. After typing up blog posts and such today I found 3 of the originals on my shelf and read 2 this afternoon. They take no time at all!
