Well, last year I aimed for 100 and fell short...only got to 64. I really think I can make it to 75 in 2012! Good luck to me and to everyone else:)))

Welcome! Glad you decided to join us.

FYI, we've added a couple of wikis to the mix this year. The first is where we keep important threads. The second is the Threadbook where we have a directory to all the members' threads. Both help keep a handle on the chaos! :)

Scandinavian crime fiction is a bit darker than other crime fiction, so it's not for everyone. I enjoy reading it occasionally. I'm sure I'll get around to reading The Leopard in the next few months, but I'm not in a hurry to get to it.

24julyso
jan 28, 2012, 10:42 pm

It is & I generally like that darker thing, but this one just wasn't my cup of tea! I guess I just like the Dragon books too much;)
