Blood,Sweat and Books

Wow, 2015 just flew by didn't it? I feel like December just started and then boom, all of a sudden it is New Years Eve eek!!! Where did the time go? Any of us who read books on a consistent basis will eventually find ourselves in the same predicament. So many books, so little time.
