And how many, pray, are RE-reads?
How many are picture books?


Not that I want to split hairs here, but methinks there are some on this list either very old friends of yours, or fewer than forty pages . . . .


:)

I never claimed otherwise!

Wow, Awesome book rec list (I'll take is a book rec list) I mostly listen on audio, but I'll see what the library has ^_^

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't do that--some of these aren't good at all! Try my "you should read these" tag if you want recs. ;)

I adore Laurie R. King's Mary Russell series in audio if you like mysteries, and Lois McMaster Bujold's Chalion books ditto in fantasy.

Oh ok. LOL!

Holy guacamole!! It's one of life's ironies that, as a librarian, I read more ABOUT books than reading books themselves. Congratulations on your feast.

Thanks! It's good to get back to basics.
