Lines on Life and Love

In April 2012 I started using Barbara Cartland titles as my subject headers, and here we are, in December 2017, with the very last one: a book of poetry. Well done and thank you, Dame Barbara, for amusing me for the last five-and-a-half years.

I won't finish my current book tonight, so I can finish the year with this month's books. I made it past fifty (by one).
