Book tag-- now that's more like it! And at such a great time. The very first copy of Mom's book arrived yesterday. It's beautiful. I am so proud of her. For those of you who are waiting to buy your copy, we've got to comb through this one for errors first. I'd say within a week or two she'll be ordering her first batch to sell.
And now, on with the game!

OK, this will take a while. If I've averaged only four or five books a week for over sixty years... Hmmmm ... This is a very rough estimate you understand... Hmmm ... somewhere approaching 15,000 books perhaps. Surely a few of those were memorable, but I suppose I would have to constantly change the list as I keep recalling yet another title. OPJ
