Sometime in February 2010, after becoming frustrated by the process of choosing one book out of the 146,400 books at the library, I decided on an easier way to make my book selections. The A. K. Smiley Public Library has a wonderful biography section located in the basement. The books are sorted in alphabetical order by the last name of the subject. So, I started with "AAA," and after I finish each book, I return to the stacks and move down to the next biography that grabs my attention. After 6 1/2 years I finally reached the end of the alphabetical line. In August 2016 I started reading the biographies of each U. S. President and one year later I had read biographies of all 44 past Presidents. A book about Trump is still being written. Now I'm back to the alphabetical process of book selection for the second round.
On August 8, 2024 I finished
reading The Helmsleys: The Rise and Fall of Harry & Leona, my 700th biography.
On April 29, 2022 I finished
reading Morgan: American Financier by Jean Strouse, my 600th biography.
On June 19, 2020 I read Pioneer Girl by Laura Ingalls Wilder, my 500th biography.
