Monday Book Report: Bound For Murder
“I Read It So You Don’t Have To” Department I learned many things from Bound For Murder, the 3rd scrapbooking mystery in the series by the pseudonymous Laura Childs. In the end section devoted to scrapbooking tips and recipes I discovered that you can mix mango, cilantro, olive oil with red and green peppers and …
300 Books: The List (Part I)
As promised earlier, here’s the list — or at least the first half — of the most recently read hundred books. Once again I strive to say a word or two about a volume or two in each set of ten books listed. I hope you shall not be too terribly bored, though if you …

300 Books (Not Really)
Just finished the 300th book that I’ve read since I started tracking just which books I read and complete — though this number has the caveat that it includes comics and graphic novels, which I am not counting in my most strenuous accounting, as discussed in earlier posts here and here. The particular book read …
200 Books: The List
As promised, here’s the list of the most recently read hundred books, this time broken down into ten book bite-sized pieces. For each tenner of books, I’ve provided brief notes on one representative volume. To repeat, I’ve only counted non-comic books towards my number of books read, so the ‘#’ field in the below table …
