Here is the list of books I read this past summer. It's a little short, but it's the best I could manage with time out for dog maintenance and Max-imum fun. Now, no one asked for this list, but this post will save the nice people in Homeland Security a lot of legwork. For all you readers out there, Mirty has started a blooklub--a blog book club. (I know, it's a terrible neologism, but it's mine.) Look for it here.

Did you raid my bookshelves again? (Except for the Robert B. Parker, of course.)
Wow, 33 books is a "Little Short"?? What would you call a long list? Hee Hee. Do you do anything else but read??? Hee Hee Hee.

Tink-I forgot blogging--blogging takes time away from reading, too. But yes, besides walking the dog, playing with Max and blogging, all I do is read.
We like a lot of the same authors, makes me feel more confident about my reading tastes :)
