Ok, not one I had on the list...but I read a 400+ page book by Patricia Cornwell.
Yeah, Paula...lol...an organized list is not really for me! I like just picking a book from the shelves and reading. Having to stick to a list is too much like being back in high school and having a reading assignment lol!
Ya, I made a list also but am 1 for 2 so far.
Shoot, Paula, I've read only one and it's not even on the list lol! But as long as I make the 10 400+ page book goal...I'll be happy!
Another 400+ pager...and yep, ANOTHER one not on the list. Oh well, lol!
One more 400+ pager...and again, not on the list. Think I'm gonna say forget the list...and just randomly pick the books.
I think that's what I'm doing also, if I hit one from my list, so be it.
Only 3 more to go...too bad they were not on the list I started the year off with! But, hey, I'm making the goal of 400+ page books anyway!
