Oh that's a mammoth but a good one! I want to re-read someday. I read it in high school.

6. Whatever Happened to Interracial Love - Kathleen Collins

[Arnetta]

That's a good challenge. If I work at making every 3rd book read one that I own - i'll make a decent dent. Always find too many at the library and they always end up being part of a series so then I have to read the whole series. OCD is terrible!!! LOL.... This will be a fun challenge tho. Thanks!
