So I make that 46 books. Maybe if I was more into cook books I could have highlighted more ... but I've certainly done my bit to help some of the big sellers to do well. Glad to see To Kill A Mockingbird on there, not many classics that are still selling well, obviously. There are also some "so what?" type books on there, I think as a result of Richard and Judy's Book Club. Right. Think I'll review the books I've read this year.
