My first beat the backlist is under my belt, and honest I think I could have done much better.

Of my planned reads, I only managed 6 books.  That is such a wimpy score!  Thankfully my list doesn’t look too bad, because I fluffed it up with surprise choices from my backlist.  Some of them were even my favorites!

So, here’s my final tally.  As wimpy as it is, I’m still kind of proud.
