I just want to make a note about about my reading list.   

At the moment it's NOT in alphabetical order but rather in the order in which I've read the authors stories.                                          

The stories are those that I have read, enjoyed and wanted to keep.

Lemons vs lemonade: I have recently developed memory issues, sucks!  In the past I've always kept the books of my favorite authors. I had a library of every book that Robert Ludlum, Ann McCaffery and others have ever written as I enjoyed rereading their books.   Now those books are mostly NEW again (cheesey grin) but, too heavy to hold. I miss those novels. I miss the pages, turning them, the smell.

I also don't want to ever offend an author. Writing takes an energy that can be depleted by negativity, I recognize that. It shows in the content whether a writer is invested in the tale they are developing.

  Thank you for understanding.
