The Last 10 Books (I added to my Wish List) - October 2026  

I've been pretty good this month – at least in the number of books added to my ever-lengthening Wish List. I've been pretty good in keeping my BUYING down to reasonable levels too!

I wonder if my butterfly mind if finally slowing down? Surely not...
