Thanks for gettign all of this (and us) organized, Sherry!

Absolutely!

You're all very welcome. I have a question pending in the Feedback group, because there doesn't seem to be a way to add a new shelf for the group. I always separate the books by year, so when I went to add the shelf 2014 Reading List I couldn't find a way to do it. If I ever get an answer, I'll put the books on the right shelves. This didn't use to be a problem.

I don't pay a great deal of attention, honestly, but it seems like with the subjects coming up in the feeback group, a lot of things seem to be breaking down.

Thanks for spreading mine out, Sherry :)

I tried, with you and Sara both. I hope I succeeded.

Works for me!

Thank you, Sherry and Al. I love these new lists and schedules!

It's good! I think we will all be on a heavy-duty reading ride with the Mantel, so it's good to have a no-classics month.

Oh--when does the Mantel come out?

It's an older book, so available now.

Sorry, guess I'm anticipating the next new one. How could I already have forgotten that she has one on this list. Too much on my mind I guess!!

Sue it is a big one. It will be interesting to read her take on the
French Revolution.

Aha. Bet it's an interesting one! Thanks Carol.

Aha. Bet it's an interesting one! Thanks Carol.

Looks like a good Kindle possibility.

I noticed that too, Sue.

I think my hands will thank me :)

I'm not sure where to put this information, but The Professor's House is available from the Gutenberg Project here for those who are interested: http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200...
