That's impressive! And a good, varied selection, too. I thought about choosing books ahead of time, and of course I have some ideas in the back of my head, but as a mood reader, I decided to keep my options open.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by my blog today - it's nice to "meet" you!
Thanks! I decided that I would choose my books for this challenge earlier because I tend to be a 'messier' reader (reading several book at one time, having a large TBR pile and not knowing what to read next...). But since I try to read at least 180 books I still have the option to read something I just found out about. Nice to meet you too, and merci for your comment!
