First I would like to replace 20.9 Emily Bookshelf's... I had posted The Widow’s Daughter by Nicholas Edlin. I'll replace it with another book by an author whose first name begins with “N.” I read Songbook by Nick Hornby, which is 207 pages.

Next,

I would like to add

50.1 Robin (heart)’s Family Ties
I chose Option 4.b. (Robin’s Oldest Son, Big J) Book set in WWII. I read The Widow's Daughter: A Novel by Nicholas Edlin – moved from 20.9. (pages already counted)

And I chose Option 5.b. (Robin’s Youngest Son, Lil J) “Horror” as GR genre. This was my annual re-read of The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, 121 pages.

And I chose Option 6.c. (Robin’s furry kids, Saturn and Murphy) Author’s initials can be found in ADOPTASHELTERDOG. I’ve highlighted two “D” s in the acceptable initials because I read The Strange Files Of Fremont Jones by Dianne Day. 272 pages
