Oh I'm so glad, Margie! Thanks for the feedback! I just think the badges are brilliant. :)

Oh so jealous! Have a fabulous time!

Thumbs up from me as well.

Welcome, Charlotte!

Yes! Which two have you read?

I'm enjoying the heck out of the podcasts on the sonnets. So far I've done 1-10, with 8 and 9 standing out for me. There's a "gather thee rosebuds while ye may" quality to the procreation sonnets. But the goal is rather different.

Serendipity strikes again!
Love when that happens!

Woohoo! You guys are speed readers! The Bingos are a lot of fun. So glad you're enjoying.

That sounds like a great resource. Thanks for sharing it. :)

Yep. A book read is a book read. :)

Congrats, Chase! I haven't read anything by Anne. How was she?

Good for you, Angela! You're off to a good start!

Great Going, Angela! Kudos for getting the first Bingo!

Has anyone tried pasting Holly's award for this mini into their Personal Challenge thread?

Hayley-
Perhaps Macbeth. It's got witches, madness, tricksy prophesies, betrayal, and murder. And you don't need any historical background to understand it.

The comedies like Much Ado and Twelfth Night are great fun, but there's a lot going on and lots of farcical elements which can sometimes be confusing. Of course, there's also romance. And some great movie adaptions.

It depends on what would most hold your attention.

Great to have you both join us!

I googled. Procreation Sonnets are sonnets1-17. Interestingly, sonnet 18 is the well-known "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" sonnet.

For example, I didn't know that the first 10 (I think they said 10) are consider the "procreation" sonnets. So far the message seems to be...have sex, make babies, before you're too old to do that. Seriously lol!

Great confession, Clare! We so often take fit granted what's right in front of us every day.

I need to make a correction on the podcasts I mentioned earlier. They are IN EAR ENTERTAINMENT, not Inner Ear as I previously stated. I've listened to a few now and they're pretty hilarious but also interesting.

Cool. A very focused plan. :) Good Luck, Bouchra!
