I am too embarrassed to post my monthly reading list. I might have 8-10 books in a good month. You ladies put me to shame0

Cindy - there is no pride in numbers. I need the distraction on audio books or text to voice while I do life. Being retired gives me a ton of time to listen.0
-
I agree with Connie. What I want to see is how you liked or didn't like what you did read, it gives me ideas for reads. I know we share what we are reading while reading it, but we don't always share our like or dislike of it! I just have to remember to get it on my list!0
