Challenge Complete: Birthday Month



Birthday Month Reading Challenge 

Hosted by Lois at You, Me, & a Cup of Tea

Lois set us the challenge to read a book each month by an author whose birthday was in that month. I just read a short story collection by Rex Stout to claim December and have finished the challenge. See my list below.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
