I finished making my list today. I wanted to have 12 books on it. The final book was Dear Edward. It was selected for two book clubs that I follow; Barnes and Noble and Read With Jenna.

Great list! I have to admit, I clicked on Shoe Dog expecting something about a dog 😂 I wonder how many animal (especially dog) lovers, picked up this book. It sounds really interesting and will add it to my ever growing TBR list 😊

Where the Crawdads Sing is next on my reading list. I was supposed to have started it already but a book translation job came by and I'm reading that now.

I want to see what the hype is about.

The amazon reviews are very good.

Samanta, I think it lives up to the hype. I'm more of a nonfiction reader but I can see why people liked it. The writing is good.

Alias, that’s a varied list and seems quite doable. Good luck in the next 12 months with this project.

I’m working on a list of sorts myself, predicated upon the fact we will be overseas 5 months. More later.

I finished my 2020 Determination list !

Today I finished the Balanchine book for the category--
A nonfiction book about a dancer or choreographer

Now I have to work on making my 2021 list.

Thanks, deb. I usually don't finish my DL so this was special.
