I'll just keep reading and putting 'em in the bank for later, I guess.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you (imagine excellent singing...) happy birthday dear Cecily, happy birthday to youuuuu!

Enjoy your special day! You are in good company here. Once a book nerd, always a book nerd! Own it and embrace it. Nothing is better than reading. Except maybe eating cake while reading... :)

Me too. End of Thursday latest. Although it's interesting, you can tell it was translated into English so the language is a little cumbersome. Really NOT digging it, but it's been on my TBR list for awhile now...

Mrs. Jeffries Forges Ahead
Can be used for death OR banked for another square...
Finished 8/22/16
304 pages
It's a murder mystery set in Victorian England.
Cover items: Inspector Witherspoon, Housekeeper Mrs. Jeffries, Champagne bottles, dining tables and chairs, flower arrangements, dead lady's arm... All set in an ornate picture frame.

I finished Mrs. Jeffries Forges Ahead this morning. We can either bank it or use it for death. It's a murder mystery with a dead lady's hand on the cover...

Where are you again, Rachel? Be careful & stay safe!

Very quiet, indeed. Slogging through Baudolino, doing piles of laundry and trying not to be tempted by mysteries, and zombie & vampire books! Almost finished with Mrs. Jeffries Forges Ahead!

Both were excellent, but complex! And Pillars can be used as a weapon. Do NOT read it in bed, you could break your own nose...

I read it for my RL book club. I don't think I would have tackled it on my own. Same goes for The Pillars of the Earth. Yeah we sure had some overachievers back then...

Laura wrote: "Lauri wrote: "Yes! This is waaaay cool! May I take blue cover as well as published in 2003? I'm working on Baudolino for 2003, but I just started Blueberry Muffin Murder, ..."

Ok. Bummer! I'd forgotten how much I like Hannah Swenson mysteries! I'm already assigning myself reading segments in Baudolino! I got quite a few others in the works. Hopefully some will fit our unclaimed boxes...
