See, S was the most!

I wonder if I will subconsciously not choose books that start with S. LOL

I couldn't believe how many F and Gs I had!

Wow Jenny!!

Interesting, Jenny... Thanks for sharing your numbers with us.

You sure read a lot of S books!

Sapphire, I loved that you asked that question because it was the first thing I wondered when I saw this thread! I'm a huge planner except when it comes to reading, then it's whatever I'm in the mood for. So happy you asked

Don't worry, most of us don't plan ahead for our letters. Well, apart from in situations where people realize it's December and they still have some letters to go, so need to plan their reading for the month to finish in time. Haha!
