I see some that we have in common. Welcome. Look forward to hearing about your progress.
Welcome April,
your list looks great. There's definitely overlap with my own but there are plenty of books I haven't seen before, so I'm looking forward to your posts :)
I request that you recommend a wine pairing with every book you read.
I second everyone else (especially Goedi!). Welcome!
Thanks for your kind welcome, everyone!
I actually used to pair wine with the books I read when I first started, but since I read a lot of YA I got nervous about endorsing underage drinking, so dropped it.
Yes welcome April... you could change the pairing to books and soda or juice? ;)
Looking forward to your reviews.
Welcome. Great list. We also share a number of books.
