Finished!

I finished Learning to Swim yesterday and all in all, it was pretty good.  The author did a fabulous job building suspense in such a way that you couldn't stop reading and also couldn't wait for the surprise you knew she had in store.  I don't want to give away the ending, but I will let you know that the dad was an honest guy and not involved in the kidnapping whatsoever.  I was very happy about that, as you want to see the best in people and he genuinely seemed thrilled when Paul was returned.  I don't want to give anything away though in case someone is interested in reading it.

So I've reached (actually exceeded) my reading goal of 42 books in 2013.  And that was starting in August when we began blogging.  Not too shabby for a mom of three little ones who works full time!  I am thinking of making my 2014 goal 75 books.  Hopefully I can make that happen.  What will your reading goal for 2014 be? Time to start thinking about it.  We will be updating our goodreads goal in January.  Happy holidays!
