Oh my. I'm going to stop there. I wouldn't want to make a list I can't complete.
I will have a whole week on Madeline Island to read...so I'm not worried.

bec
I want to read all those books too.
ReplyDeleteGood choice on stopping your list there, though. Those unfinished lists do tend to drag one down. At least I imagine they would....haven't ever actually done it myself.
