75 Books...More or Less! discussion

Once again I hope to read at least half of all the books I read this year to come off of my book shelves!

I had a good reading month!

Lori - my goodness! You really did cover a lot of ground in May. I love the Mrs. Pollifax books, especially the first few in the series. But they all have their charms.

Hi Karol, yes I love the Mrs. Polifax books and so does my Mom. I bought them all through Audible and 2 years ago for Christmas I bought my Mom an Ipod. I loaded all the Mrs. P books, plus some more I thought she would like as well as music on it and gave it to her for Christmas. She still loves it!
