My List of Books

I have been an avid journal keeper for much of my life. I like to keep many kind of lists in my journals. I have kept pages of funny sayings of my children, lists of funny names I have heard, lists of names I like, lists of the community and church service I have given, and records of weird dreams my husband and I have had. One of the lists that I have kept at times in my life was a list of each book I read. I recorded the date when I finished reading it, the title, author, number of pages, and type of book. In particular I enjoy biographies and auto-biographies. I decided to list here SOME of the books from my list that I have read that I enjoyed. This list comes from a 2-3 year period of time, and is by no means a complete list. I just picked out some of the many that I read. I couldn't find my current journal to write some of the ones that I have read more recently. At times I haven't kept a good record, so I don't have a complete list of all the books I have read. However, here are just a FEW of the ones I read that were recorded in one of my journals.
