365 Days, 365 Books: Past the Century Mark

Past the Century Mark

101 days, 101 books. Book 100 was 'Food Rules' by Michael Pollan, suggested by Rachel's sister-in-law Courtney Mangum.

So far this has been an incredible journey, and Rachel has no intentions of slowing down. If you don't think she's going to get 365, you don't know Rachel.

More specifics about the journey coming soon.

woohoo! 4/5 isn't too bad either. I would have felt bad if she gave it a 1.

I know you are already a very smart person, but it just struck me how much useful information you are putting in your head. I am amazed and jealous! And very impressed.
