Hi!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness that's a lot of books. I tried reading Cutting for Stone, but couldn't finish it. Have a great day!

I'm following suit on this. Perhaps it will get me back to reviewing my books on a regular basis. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting through your reviews that still need writing. I have quite a list myself.
ReplyDeleteTo counter balance the large number of academic journal articles I'm reading, I read a bunch of books off my wishlist. I also finished up some text books. Here's what I'm reading this week.
Hi There!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your list last week, and I'm looking forward to some of your reviews! Happy reading.
I read your review of The Naked Gardner.... have an awesome week!
