1970 Club

  Twice a year Stuck in a Book and Kaggsy's Bookish Ramblings sponsor a group book club where those who would like to read books from the declared year. This October, the chosen year is 1970--which will take me into Silver Age mystery territory (1960-1989). As I prepare for next week's reading, I thought I'd take a look at what 1970 books I've already read and list those that are on the TBR mountain range and could be used for the event.

Here are the books from 1970 that I've read and reviewed previously on the Block
