SO.... I've read an awful lot that wasn't on this list, and not made too much progress on what is here. But I'm okay with that. And I'll have a couple of these done by the end of the year, since I have started them and am making progress. We'll see what the 2021 lineup is in about a month. In the meantime, I'll keep reading. :)
