MarleneTC has written 5 entries about this goal

I knew I had read more than a 100 books already  — 1 year ago

I thought I had read at least a 100 books but when I checked my bookshelf on Bookcrossing, I counted much less.

Now I know why!
I was scrolling down some of the books on my BC shelf and I discovered a lot I had read and released but forgotten to add to my list there.

So yes my feeling was right after all.
I am not done but have counted 103 so far and I know there msut be more.
So I am glad to see I read more this year compared to 2005.

Finished book 2 Of dean Koont'z Frankenstein Series  — 1 year ago

What a great book.
I really loved book 1 The Prodigal Son. I gave that 5 stars.
This one is nearly as good and I cannot wait for book 3 but it seems I will have to.
Book 3 should have been published this summer but Dean koontz is behind writing so I will have to be patient

This book 4.5 stars
(This is the 97th book. I missed 1 or 2 on my other list so I have to check my shelves to find out which books I’d read in 2006 but I forgot to add)
