You know how it is , the minute you say I've noticed this ,,,damn if that won't break the pattern.
It seemed like a fairly cute and fast idea based on how many Sue Grafton books I'd seen in the " thrifts", until i posted it that is and then apparently everyone ran out and scooped them up. Three thrift stores into it , Arlene, friend and doyenne of thrift stores, finally spotted a small ( i think they call them trade paperbacks)version of letter B ! I didn't make it a rule to rule out those cheesy rack paperback versions,only because i didn't even think she was published in that format, i really hate that size, but since i was in no position to choose to just get letter b , I'm allowing it in the rules !
We did a lovely job of tidying and organizing several shelves over there at the Glendale Goodwill and although letters much further down were there, no C, was present, so the hunt continues.
Well dear readers, you can expect this one to go on for a while, Ms Grafton is on letter U and at this speed she will be well through any numerical series before i complete this challenge ! If it continues this slow, i may have to go upstairs and route through the stacks of books i have at home and possibly allow any i have into said challenge !
Will keep you updated, I am pleased to say that i did beat my previous 81 books read in 2009 ( audio and in print )so the 2011 number to beat is now 83 ! What am i doing on the laptop , i better get in the car and start that audio !
Here is to an amazing 2011 for all of us, and letter C , I'm looking for you baby !
