Wow, Schmerguls. You must be really organized to know when you read each book. I could just say a probable year and maybe the season, but never the month. How do you keep up with it?
Does anyone else keep such good tabs on their reading?
Edited to add: And to everyone: Sorry about the thread hijack. Umm, carry on. :)
