You are going great! Great list there!
Wow, a lot of good info. here. Better go make that pot of coffee and come back. :)
You're very welcome Gautami and Karen
I am so tempted by your Agatha Christie Reading Challenge since as a teen, I think I read most of them. I'm just trying to hold myself back from joining any more challenges, since I'm not keeping up with the ones in which I am involved right now. But that doesn't mean I might not change my mind soon...:)
And Ngaio Marsh: my mother used to read her also and I think I read a few, but again it's been years.
You continue to be my favorite mystery/crime fiction blogger, despite what the BBAW group decided. ;) (That's the last time I'll bring it up, I promise, but it just irked me...anyway, enough said.)
You probably don't have time "fool" with all the other things you do. I hope your banned books reading is going well this week
