Wow, you're really getting through the books this year, Linda! Congratulations! I wish I had your resolve to donate a whole bunch to the library.

My batter does look like he's going to slug the pitcher.

Another four books til I meet my ROOT goal.

Down to three books to reach my goal. I'm picking up the last ER book I have in my possession and starting that one tonight. The other remaining ER book is from July and, on Sept 29th, will officially be overdue from the publisher.
