The library in fact did have a copy and I've already finished The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King, and this girl did not love that book. It was tedious in a lot of places. The baseball parts are only good if you should happen to like baseball, which I do not. I am not a fan over all. I think I rated this 3/5 stars, but may change my mind and put it at 2/5. Why is it that every single King book I read goes quickly and is dull to me? Why?

I'm up to 52/50 (102%) of my 2018 reading goal and I finished my first book for August on the 4th. I am deciding if I want to do straight 5 books a month til the end of the year, ending me at 76/50 (152%) or continue with 8-12 books per month, leaving me with anywhere from 91/50 (182%) to 112/50 (224%). Hey, if I manage 112 books this year I will be amazed! I will also have read more than my goal from last year (originally it was 100 books and I finished with 86-ish).
