I'm trailing behind you though ;)

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I have kept updating posts 1 and 51 as I have added books, this is just a summary of the books - 105 books by 64 different authors


Total books read so far this year for my Goodreads challenge is 219.

[R.J.]

this one is on the short side, being a novella, and i am one of your orfors Watching Swifts *bows*

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I'm a bit stuck as to how to add to my list

Do I add it to each author already on my list, then add all the "new" authors. Or leave it as I have it now.

[Vic]

Maybe you should just check out those authors you have not already read, then see what else they have done that you haven't read. :-)

Cheeky, eh?

They are probably on my TBR list which is large enough to last me until I retire, at which time I will be able to settle down and concentrate on reading ;)

(makes note to move someones's book on the TBR)

[Vic]

Sorry, 'twas naughty. I blame the bubbly with which I was celebrating my daughter's escape, at last, from Saudi Arabia.

[Patti (baconater)]

Janet, don't let Vic off the hook too easily.

He's a very talented and entertaining author but he didn't buy a round for the group did he?

Now that's cheeky!

Vic, I'm so truly pleased Karen et al are safe in London. Things in the Middle East and Northern Africa are rather turbulent.

To think that Dave and I were considering Egypt just six months ago. Our best friends got out of Syria just before it kicked off.

Turbulent times.

Seriously Janet, when I was reading the Salmagundi, marvelling at the number and variety of authors in this group, I was thinking how much more you know about that. As a result of your challenge, you must be the world's greatest expert in the subject, a veritable walking Salmagundi. Why, you could write a book about it!

Yes I have read a lot, but so have quite a few other members here - Sarah has definitely read more than I have.
As for writing a book - I don't think I could do that, I am definitely just a reader.

Well done, Janet! This reminds me that I haven't updated my challenge for some time. I need to drink a lot more tea this morning before I attempt to tackle that!

Vic - I'm so glad that your family are out of Saudi!

:0)

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Update - almost the end of this challenge, and the total is 125 books by "our" authors.

Well done, Janet!

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Final total for this challenge was 125

[Philip (sarah)]

Congratulations Janet. How blessed we are to have so many wonderful authors in our midst:@)
