Eleanor & Park
Rainbow Rowell
Finished 10/18/16
Published in 2013
328 pages

Just finished Eleanor & Park! This can go for published in 2013 -- or something else entirely!

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!

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...

Can be used for letter E in triangle spell-it-out

Finished Eddie Aikau: Hawaiian Hero. Very sad, but inspiring at the same time.

I can take the E out of triangle! I have Eddie Aikau: Hawaiian Hero and can finish within the hour...

Hi all! Well on my way to finishing Skinwalkers for #7 in series. Also Eleanor & Park for published in 2013. Reading a wide variety for 2,3,4&5 in series. Don't know how productive today will be though. TWD marathon is on & tonite is the 2 hour special with cast commentary!

The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade

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. :)

Just finished The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade ! This can be the idiom book or a 1st in series or published in 2015...

Nanci, I think it's so sweet you still have date night with your hubby! We've been married for 27 years and date night went out the window long ago! :)

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.

Hi Laura! Just checking to see if you saw my completion post on our read thread. Msg #1110 for Pasta Imperfect...

I'm having a hard time working in all these extra books into my usual Halloween/spooky/October thang....

I'm all lonely here, peeps. This time zone thing kind of blows. I also have a pinched nerve in my neck and have the option of physical therapy or many painkillers... Can you tell I'm loopy?

I'll take Skinwalkers for a #7, Alex. I'm working on The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Paradewhich can go for either another #1 or it has lots & lots of idioms...
