It's doubtful I'll try Winters though I do like the cover. <br />I'll hopefully get caught up on my own reviews and your other posts from the past fortnight this week! col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-61294216305387337952014-09-05T08:06:38.617-07:002014-09-05T08:06:38.617-07:00Moira, I do keep a list of books, date I finished ...Moira, I do keep a list of books, date I finished them, only since 2002. Wish I had been keeping it much longer than that. But not notes on how much I liked them, etc. Sometimes my opinion changes, or at least my "rating", over time, which surprises me. And often I learn so much from looking up the author and other reviews. It is a fun process. Lately to catch up I have considered shorter posts (very hard) or several books covered in one post.

For a while I tried to review every book I read, but now I miss out some - not necessarily because I don't like them, but because they don't provide a good clothes line, or just don't feel right. It does make like a bit easier! I record everything I read in a spreadsheet, so there is still a record.

My son likes that kind of book and often encourages me to read them too.

One reason I started the blog was to record what I liked about books and quibbles if I had any. But I could write shorter posts. Sometimes I write more than I need to.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-45630525548291506712014-09-03T17:07:00.982-07:002014-09-03T17:07:00.982-07:00Sergio, I am sure you will like it.

Always fascinating to learn how those tales get started... And I'm not surprised you chose the Winters as your pick of the month. He's a very talented writer.

I have a few novels by Ross Macdonald including "The Moving Target" which I hope to read soon.Prashant C.
