Couldn't find the "Library Thing", lol... SO thought I'd list the 2008 books I've read thus far... (This was after spilling Diet Squirt
on my purse/on my notebooks that I carry with me) and figured this was much "safer". Now let's hope that I can decipher where the ink
smudged...
 Though I haven't rated them, the books I LOVED I've
"bolded".

Karen, what do the numbers mean after each month? The first # seems to refer to the # of books finished, but the second one?....

Olle, that has to do with my annual resolution to read more books off my TBR instead of new purchases and/or going to the library. Unfortunately, not only do I
never read enough of the TBR books but I'm always adding to the pile!
