I have nine categories for now and a guess as to what books I will read. Of course, it being 1/3 of the way through the year, I started with the books I have already read this year -- and then added a whole section that takes care of the box of books my sister just sent me!! "Books from my sister" - a novel category if there ever was one.

Well, having read only 11 books thus far this year, this now seems like a real stretch. However, I keep working on and updating my list. Never fear - summer is "here" - perhaps I'll have to take my kids to the pool a lot and be thankful they can all swim!!

17 separate books as of now...but a lot of overlaps on my categories. Seems hard to do all this...though I can "run" through a YA novel. Hardest is right now I want to read a "beach book" but it won't fit in so I am reluctant!! I think I will read it anyway and see if I can put it somewhere.
Meanwhile, I edited my list to take out all the unread books and the finished notation - it was too confusing!!
