The Book Tally

We're moving, which foments topics, though not time, for blogging. In any case, I've had a chance to take stock of my books, so I'm finally publishing a list (in some cases, to the best of my memory) of books Blondie has eaten. It's a nice little microcosmic autobiography (of me, not the dog):

* This book was over 15 years old and I had read it multiple times. Probably why it was so tasty.
** An art book :(
*** a free review copy that a friend gave me
**** nibbled, but not eaten. Maybe he found it distasteful (though I do not).
***** a borrowed book that I had to replace (see the media edition of this list for more of these)

Today I left the house without securing a box of records I had packed. So stay tuned for the media edition!
