[Bea]

Well, I have planned 10 of the books. The first I will leave unplanned and fill in one of the many other books I read in ALCM's genres. The last is hard for me as I do not read newly published books as a rule as they are harder to obtain from the library. So that will need to wait until something truly excites me.

Finally, thriller is not a genre that I typically read. I did find one that might work, but really scary books do nothing for my sense of balance as I live alone and my imagination is too active!
