Babs | 258 comments Well a new year has begun and I'm taking on another challenge this year. I am determined to complete an author A-Z reading list. I've made my list and am about to start. If I make it through then I will complete 26 books (at least)in 2012.
I was a third of the way through A Redbird Christmas on New Year's Eve...when I finish this I will count it as the first book completed in 2012

Babs | 258 comments Thanks, I'll learn from the mistakes I made last year. This time I've got myself a little better organized and will probably even have time to get extra books in to my list.

Babs | 258 comments Well here it is just 2 days till Christmas and I've just completed my 27th book. Unfortunately I did not complete the alphabet of authors. I missed it by 5 books because I read 2 b's, 2e's, 2m's, and 2s's...oh well here's to next year. I've decided to try to visit all the states. Selecting books with locale set in a different state each reading. I can't complain this has been a good year for reading. Didn't necessarily read the most popular books or those on the best seller list but I did read some good one.
Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday season and a wonderful New Year!!

Here we go again. I just finished The Girl in the Lighthouse. A genre I haven't read in some time. It was okay; nothing to write home about but okay.

Trying to visit every state in the union this year and maybe carry over to next year. So this book took me to Georgia (with a brief stop in Maine).
