Now I do not know if you are like me, but I have a VERY hard time remembering much at all about a book I read in the past just by looking at the title. I usually have to read it again, then about halfway through I remember several things about it, but still end up reading till the end to see what else I did not remembe...only for the cycle to start all over again!!! UGHHHH!!! I think this is partly due to the fact that when I worked for the postal service (11 years) I listened to books on tape for the entire shift every workday, which adds up to way too many books for me to count...lots to file away in my tiny brain!!!

I said all that to say do not expect a book report from me from anything I read further than yesterday!!! LOL

I do the same thing Teresa when reading books (and watching movies as well.), but unfortunately I can't blame it on the US Postal service. LOL

This list is amazing. I certainly had no idea!

God's Blessings,
Amy Jo
