  1. I'm always amazed that busy and active writers read so much. It must be me; I have a stack of books I *hope* to read one day. I'm just not a very good time-manager. I plod. Sigh. Hats off to those who work in all their tasks.

    Best Wishes Galen.

  2. That's quite a list you got there. It kinda saddens me though. My "to read" list its growing too fast. I'm not able to keep up.

  4. Thanks for compiling this list, Michele; what an assortment of riches! More books for me to discover...which is always good news if I could just find more hours in the day!

    Selfishly, I'm hoping by this time next year, everyone will be reading a mystery entitled SPY MY SHADOW. Guess I should get my butt in gear for that to be possible!

  6. I just love book lists. Too bad there's too many of them for me to read. I need more hours in the day or to be independently wealthy.

  7. Wow, this is one serious list! Excellent! Although I don't know if I can squeeze any more into my reading list. Perhaps if I cut an hour out of my 6 hour sleep cycle? Hmmm...jut maybe, I might.
