    I think I made a mistake when adding mine. It isn’t showing up yet, but I automatically clicked on what was there and it’s listed just as Lee@ Butterfly Blessings and that link is for The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie. Thanks. :o)

    Hi, there! I added #24 (A Little Princess) but it didn’t show up on this page. If you click to the review page linky, it is there. Ooops, I just noticed that I misspelled “Princess” as “Princes”. Can you fix that? thanks!

    Just read my first classic for the year! Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert. Yay! I have piles of them on my shelves that I have never read, so this is a perfect excuse!

    I just added my Goodreads review of The Autobiography of Mark Twain…which I figured could be categorized as an ‘instant classic’

    Just finished “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck. Not my first time reading it, but I haven’t read it in years. Such a great story.
