I was wondering if I should switch my book Top O' the Mournin' from Labor 4 The Mystery - Find Sherlock (mystery) to Labor 6 The Horror - Play in the Hedge because it has a tree sculpted into a skull on the cover - topiary style. Please use it wherever you think it's most needed.

Love this series! Ms. Neal really does a good job with local Hawaiian culture, too...

Lol, I knew you would finish!! Now you are all set for the upcoming sea..."
You'd be surprised, Cecily! Sometimes they follow the graphic novels, sometimes they don't. You can never guess what's next and the actors are all sworn to secrecy. If you watch the Talking Dead after the new episodes, it serves to feed the frenzy. Glen is my favorite character, so I really hope they don't kill him off. I feel Eugene is most expendable... My son is hoping for Carl.... :)

I know, right? And there are LOTS more, too! But for some strange reason all I want to do now is talk about TWD! Ha!
Hey, how come there aren't any zombie categories in Labors? I only noticed psychic, ghosts, werewolves & vampires... :)
I'd like to take on Labor 4 The Mystery. Almost done with 2 books that fit! Find Sherlock - Top O' the Mournin' and Search Long & Hard - Bake Sale Murder #13 in the Lucy Stone series!
Can't wait! But while we're waiting...I watch FTWD as well, but I feel like I can't really like any of those characters! I come close to liking Alicia. I find myself actually rooting for Nick to die! He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. (My son's name is Nick so that's even more funny!)
I don't know how to do the spoiler thing, so I won't spoil TWD for Cecily. We're discussing the outcome of the last episode at work endlessly. There are about 4 of us who love the show, all others are clueless! We growl zombie like at each other in the hallways and then laugh like lunatics! Funnier still when you realize we work at a mental hospital!
I also watch and read every zombie show/movie/book I come across. I enjoy Z Nation just because it's so cheesy. (2-hour season premiere in 9/16!) Another fun thing we do at work is call out 'Murphy's coming!'
What is wrong with us?

How it fits: IN in title
I LOVE TWD too! My son & I are obsessed, but my husband thinks we're nuts. Who do think it was that Negan killed?? But better news: I finished Dying in Style and it was a hoot!
What the heck is that thing in the N row, 2nd from the top?
Woo hoo! Just went to the library tonight. I have tons of books! If we don't have a banked book with 6 words in the title, I have several ready to go...
All done with G book!
Please go for the black title book, Alissa! I wasn't really feeling mine because it deals with child murder! That's what you get for randomly grabbing books off the shelf without reading the synopsis...I'm halfway done with Gone for Good. It's a pretty wacky story by Mark Childress. I'm enjoying it a lot! I took an extra day off for mental health purposes. :) Just put a pot of stew in the slow cooker, doing piles of laundry, reading, of course, and am now about to go in search of lunch. Not a hurricane in sight. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
