Dianne Sagan (diannes) I'm not going to make it to have read all the alpha books, but I've read all but 7 of them. I got distracted with some new authors that I hadn't read before. It's been a fun way to challenge me to read other books.

The R is pretty puzzling, since there should be tons of books starting with that letter. :) I noticed this year that the titles of quite a lot of books I read start with either F or H.
