I tend to get excited about a project or idea, and go for it, especially when I'm passionate, as with books. I have joined several groups on here, each with their own challenges. I plan to list those under the Members Corner because I am sure there will be crossovers and duplicate mentions of the same book. Here I will only state each book so they are simply counted.
