Great start on the year! Hope your February is full of books.
ReplyDeleteBeth - Thank you, Beth! I am looking forward to seeing where February takes me. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love looking at what everyone read. So many of yours I remember and still want to read. Thanks for sharing the list again. What a great year. :) Wisteria
ReplyDeleteYou did really great this year!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wisteria & Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you did this. I just might have to do something like that to keep better numbers of stuff this year!
ReplyDeleteStaci - I recommend you start at the beginning of the year and update monthly or more often if you prefer. That way you aren't scrambling at the end of the year to list and link everything.
