35559 It's a quiet Saturday in the neighborhood. I stayed down as long as I could -- till 1pm! -- just reading and reading. Vicodin is wonderful! Now it's laundry time (ugh!) going to make some pumpkin chili in the crockpot and read some more. Hopefully I'll knock out a couple of books by today or tomorrow...
I'm working on several, but a #7 for sure

35559 Cecily, Paolo sounds a lot better than the Pearl S. Buck that I found at the library tonight! You rock, girl! I say go for it!

35559 I haven't been reading a lot of my library books in favor of ones for WOBBLE. I think I'll just read whatever catches my eye & try to finish up a few personal challenges. I am really enjoying myself with this one, though...

Book with tons of idioms! The series I pick is : Lips shut tighter than a clam. Tongue frozen over like a pond in January. silent as the grave. Quiet as a church mouse.
One character, Violet, speaks in constant cliches or makes up her own! So take your pick. All of these appear on page 134.

Can also be used as. 1st in series or published in 2015 -- use wherever it helps most. :)

I think that's why I'm getting so much read -- I can't do anything else really. When I'm concious, I'm reading.
