The Reader

Lily is burning through books like crazy. She has tested for 19 books, which is a great start. The minimum goal for the contest is 35, but the serious goal is 50. I think that she is going to get there. It's now mostly a matter of acquiring the books and going through them.

Meanwhile, the school is also starting its general read-a-thon. Thanks to Mrs. Slocum and this reading challenge she is doing on her own, her class gets double-credit for reading all these books. Amanda and I really like this Mrs. Slocum. We appreciate anyone who puts a premium on reading.
