My 1970 reading

Here’s my list, such as it is, I’ll add links to any book that I read. The first of my reads is below and I’ll add any others as I go along but even if this is my only read I’ll be quite happy about it. I will, of course, add links to the 1970 Club as they are done.

1. A Man Called Noon by Louis D’Amour
2. The Murder at the Savoy by Per Wahlöö and Maj Sjöwall
3. The Woods in Winter by Stella Gibbons (reading and will post when finished)
