Blogs

I have been putting the first lines of books I read here.  But now my daughter and I are doing another blog with just first lines.  It’s now here. 

I also used to have a link to all my books I’ve read here.  But there’s now a new blog with all books I have read, my opinion, and what I want to read.  It’s now here.
