Joseph ’s comments from the Book Buying Addicts Anonymous group.

I was wondering about that missing E. Oh well, back to K.

Keep Out, Claudia! by Ann M. Martin
A book from The Baby-Sitters Club series. The art connection you wonder? The main character in this book, Claudia, is a great artist. And in this book, color takes a main roll, the color of a person's skin, that is. It is a story about bigotry.

Brought home 4 more used books from the library.
The Benjamin Franklin Sampler
Smithsonian Book of National Wildlife Refuges
Audubon: Natural Priorities
and
Fairy Tales from Japan

That makes 56.

I Am Madame X: A Novel by Gioia Diliberto

Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

Kelli, don't worry, I see no harm with your post.

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

Glad to hear you guys seem to like this theme. :-)

Back to A again. This time the theme is Art. The title or the book must have something to do with art.

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown

Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation by Laura Silber

Utah Blaine by Louis L'Amour

The Queen of the South by Arturo Pérez-Reverte

Nevada! by Dana Fuller Ross

Brian, Chabon's got his good and bad. One of my favs of his works is Summerland.

The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon by Richard Zimler

I read this one to visit Portugal.

The Jewel of Medina by Sherry Jones

My pleasure, Brian. I'd like to keep this game alive.

The Guns of Shiloh by Joseph Alexander Altsheler

Ok, since it seems this one might be a bit TOO hard, I have ammended the rules once again.
This group must have a geographical referance somewhere in the title (Either a country name, a state name, a city name, a continent name, or a compass direction North, Southwest, etc.)

East of Eden by John Steinbeck

Got another delivery from Bookdepo: North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley

Brings me up to 52 for January.

Just realized I didn't list my Bookdepo deliveries. I just got:
Bone Magic by Yasmine Galenorn
Kitty's House of Horrors by Carrie Vaughn
Blood Cross by Faith Hunter
Evil Ways by Justin Gustainis

I also picked up Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland with a Borders coupon for only $4.

Chandler, way cool deals you've got there, too bad it took a bookstore going out of business to get them, though. Welcome to the club, by the way.

Ok, I ammended the rules. Title only must have a country in it, fiction or nonfiction.

Need another new theme already? Ok, since I'm having fun with a new book challenge, Around the World in 80 Books, the next group must have a geographical referance somewhere in the title (country name, state name, continent name, etc.) (P.S. You can check out the challenge here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2... )
