It isn't too hard to have a lot of books in common with you. You've got a whole lot listed. You must be a fast reader.


for-much-deliberation  ... Hi Sandy, great to be your friend, we've got so many books in common already!!


Michael Fournier Hey Sandy! I'm tickled to be your first friend on Goodreads. I can't wait to see what you're reading.
