Just stopped by to say hi. Your blog looks great. I always read your new posts on my friends link page so I haven't seen it in a while. I love your title graphic. Good job.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment! You have a very eclectic book list lined up for the challenge. I see you have a link to Libri-Vox...isn't that a great site?

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I realised after I had posted that my list was quite ambitious. Well, I can still try!

I have never read, or even heard, of Cranford(Is that how you spell it?) I have read Wives and Daughters though.

I hope you get through all of your books!

Have you started that one yet? I read it last year and did enjoy it quite a bit. It is quirky and unlike her other books, but it was a fun read.

I hope you are well!

Warmly,
Kate
