Now I want to read it. I just checked it out from the library!

I like books in diary form, too, and this reminds me of a teenaged boy version of Bridget Jones' Diary. Kathy A.

Good luck with finding a simple system for your book lists. I probably have seven notebooks with lists of books read begun in various years and then left to languish. I guess I am not a reliable recordkeeper!Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-88303722155313363932018-07-29T09:48:25.387-04:002018-07-29T09:48:25.387-04:00My memory isn't nearly that good.

Unfortunately, it's not very compatible with our new operating system so I'm looking for another program that's as uncomplicated as FileMaker.joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-6710575755821293092018-07-28T13:47:01.784-04:002018-07-28T13:47:01.784-04:00Lark, I don't know why it has taken me so long...Lark, I don't know why it has taken me so long to get to Adrian and his diary. It is too funny! I think you will enjoy it. The edition I have includes the second in the series which makes me happy as I can just continue on and keep laughing.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-56024627225534436802018-07-28T13:45:13.664-04:002018-07-28T13:45:13.664-04:00Joan, I am impressed that you remember when you re...Joan, I am impressed that you remember when you read this! I know you keep a list of books read, but that was almost 30 years ago. Good job! The edition I have has the second in the series included so I will be growing up with Adrian for a while. Not bad company to keep.<br /><br />Glad you are enjoying DoD.

I think I should look for some of them. (P.S. I'm in the middle of Death on Demand, enjoying it, and making lists of some of the mysteries and authors mentioned, all thanks, I think, to your previous post!)joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.com
