That's pretty much my only goal for 2020.

That will be the thing I remember most about 2019. And how content I am right now because of the pleasures of talking books with so many friends.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-45426757698883546772020-01-02T13:53:04.874-06:002020-01-02T13:53:04.874-06:00Ever onward, Lark.

I read 10 books for the European reading challenge but 8 were by British or American authors. The other two were a Belgian author (Georges Simenon) and an Icelandic, a bit of a poor show. I need to try and do something about that next year. <Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.com
