BOOKS

I've been hoarding books over the years and I have amassed about 300 of them which are mostly paperback. (This does not include my books written in the romance languages.) I have to say though that I haven't read most of them. Whenever I come upon something that could go to my collection, I would buy it. My collection includes classic novels which are largely English, books by specific authors like L.M. Montgomery, Agatha Christie, Christopher Pike, Mary Higgins Clark, Jill Churchill, Ann Rinaldi and so many more.

This year, one of my goals is to stop buying books until I read most of the ones I have except for instances when I find rare titles. Anyway, I decided to read as much as I can this year. I am thinking of reading at least 2-3 books a month. (Well, the first quarter is almost over. Let's see what I can do in the remaining three quarters.) I would like to write about these books here for reference and perhaps be of help to some people out there. Below is a list of book titles that I want to re-read and several that I have yet to read. I will be listing them according to author. Once I have read and written what the book is about, it would be set in bold face. You'll be redirected to the content upon clicking on it.
