Wow, what an impressive list. That's great. I should start keeping track of the books I read. I love O Pioneers and Pride & Prejudice is the best book of all time.
ReplyDeleteHi Marsha! Impressive list. Impressive that you could remember them all, too! Me, I may have forgotten by now. 79 titles in a year is terrific!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby has been reading a lot of the same mystery authors you have. My daughter's into Agatha Christie right now too.
Happy New Year! Just running amok on the Internet today saying hello to my friends! And bookmarking your blog pages. Finally. :)
Thanks for stopping by, Marcia and Linda. It's great to have you here.
ReplyDeleteI started keeping a list of the books I read throughout the year some time ago. Probably in the 90s. I believe 79 is my all-time high record.
