I've finished! I read my 75th book some time during September.
I don't plan my reading much. I read the books for my bookgroup http://anzlitlovers.wordpress.com/anzll-..., dipping into the other challenges I belong to http://anzlitlovers.wordpress.com/challe... and selecting other books from my TBR at whim. My reviews of these books can all be found at http://anzlitlovers.wordpress.com

Welcome! You have a nice selection of books so far!

Welcome!

Welcome Lisa Hill! I like your selection... there are quite a few books on there that I enjoyed too. I checked out your review blog, it is really well written and I'm afraid I'll have to add some books to my tbr pile... Especially The Scapegoat.

Welcome to the group! Congratulations on such a great start to your reading year.

Another new member and a nice collection of titles for the year. Looking forward to checking back in for more. Welcome.
