OK, if you get more I'll just change your badge!!

I keep a list of the challenges with my "address" to my message with the tasks. Then when I read a book I go down the line and add the code for the book, author and date read. I used to go nuts trying to update before I started doing that.

Did you like the Alice Hoffman??


message 44: by [deleted user] (new)

I had read it a while ago but had forgotten (and hadn't checked) but as i was re-reading realised. I like historical books and even more so if they're based on a true story / events / people so it ticked a few boxes for me.
Just looked at what else she has written and there are loads to add to me 'want to read' list!

I recently reread Practical Magic and then read the new one The Rules of Magic, which I enjoyed.
