In the past, I was a voracious reader of books. I always had a few going at a time and read at least a couple a week. I still am a voracious reader, but I tend to do all my reading online. This is really a shame since I feel like I have nothing to show for all my hard work. LOL! You can’t point to a pile of articles and blog posts like you can a pile of books that you’ve read over your life.
I’m trying to spend more time reading books. To that end, I put together a tickler list here of books I’m possibly interested in reading. I’ll update the list whenever I finish one, find something to add to it, or change my mind about reading something. I’ve grouped them according to general topics. They aren’t in any particular order and I don’t expect I will read all of them.
One of my 2020 goals is to read 20 books so I’ll be tracking those here.

Sallie, you sure have a lot of interesting books to read. I will be looking forward to your reviews when you finish the list. I m reading The Dublin Saga The Princes of Ireland by Edward Rutherfurd. The sequel is The Rebels of Ireland. Both books are 700 plus pages. I am almost halfway through the first one.

Those are long books! I did read “Gone with the Wind” years ago and I think that’s the longest book I’ve read. I don’t know much about Irish history at all so that would be interesting.
