When you have a reading list like mine, it’s easy to get buried under it. Particularly when said reading list spans scheduled reviews, blog tours, and assigned reviews for magazines. Not to mention the additional posts like Top Ten Tuesdays and discussions like this one. I tried planners and those […]
