Hi Guys,

Have fun

Well I'm embarrassed to admit I've only read 16 and I can't work out
how to add the updated file in!

I have read 27!!!!  My list is below.  I enjoyed doing this Di and I even put it on my blog and several friends have completed it too.   I have just read "No time for Goodbye"  by Linwood Barclay and I can recommend it.  I really enjoyed it and Saskia is reading it now.  The lady at the library told me this morning that he has just released another crime novel which sounds really good but they have a waiting list of 34 people!!!   Maybe I'll actually buy this one!   Hope everyone is well and having a good week.  Any news on Gina????     Jilly. The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up? Instructions: Look at the list and put an 'x' after those you have read - even those you've read more than once! Make sure you delete my x'S! When you've finished, tag 10 people to do it too, and put your total at the bottom.
