  4. Les - I have an addict's personality where books are concerned. Can't help myself.

    Bybee - :) Love that epithet! How about a high five - since many of the titles on my TBR list come from your blog!

    DesLily - I've lucked into some very good books this year, but there are way too many stinkers on the list...
