Woohoo! I made it to number 10. Thank goodness audiobooks count or I'd be waaay behind on my reading for the year.
I've been out of town...here's a cheer for your first ten...HUZZAH!Don't you love the reader of the Mitford stories? I'm pretty much not into organized religion, but I love this series~

Thanks Mary Todd. I do like the reader of the Mitford books. I find Father Tim an inspiring character. I'd love to be able to relate to the kids in my life the way her relates to Dooley.
