Tracey Thanks so much for the goodreads friendship Richard!


Majenta Hello, Richard! Thank you for contacting me! Congratulations on your books. Happy reading, writing, and everything else. Happy Friday, have a great weekend! Blessings!
Best wishes from Majenta


Richard Seltzer Thanks. I'm new here.
I've kept a list of every book I read since 1958, and I'm entering them all here. So I'm quickly getting a high number of "books read" but I know very little about how goodreads works.
