What have I been reading? Well, my latest “catch up” post was on February 12 so I’m afraid I’ve got quite a few to list. I will, however, continue with the system I started; that is, putting the books into specific categories with individual ratings. (Note: it’s only the ones that made 4 Stars that receive my unqualified recommendations.)
Also, all books that are underlined are books that I had read at least once before…sometimes more.
