Could you put me down for I2 I am going to read Sold by Patricia McCormick which Nanci read and rated 4 Stars!!"

You GO, Glen Coco! Girl, do you ever sleep!?? You are just amazing!

I did finish Dishing the Dirt on 6/22/16... And yes, it was also a WOBBLE book! :)

Ah WOBBLE! It's pretty much turned my life upside down, but I'm having so much fun!

Either Any Place I Hang My Hat or Mad About the Boy can go for Chick Lit (one can be a bonus!)
Either Cleopatra's Shadows or China Dolls can do for Historical Fiction.



I am having a blast! I wish I didn't have to go to work so I could just stay home and read all day! The planning is almost as much fun as the reading. But only almost...

Hi! Wow! Pretty Amazing!!
Can I take Chick lit & historical, please?

Ooh! I loved that book! Poor Bernadette obviously had some major issues... That was the 1st book I read last year. I always try to start out the year with the best book I've been waiting to read :)

Can I choose B-1 still?

I finished In the Shadow of the Banyan on 6/18/16 and Dishing the Dirt 6/20/16 if it even matters!

Ooh Waikiki...sounds so nice. My hubby & I were just talking about planning a vacation, maybe to Maui, since it's been almost 2 years since we've t..."
So funny everybody wants to come to Hawaii and all we want to do is leave! Hopefully we'll get to visit Disneyland next month? I haven't been since 2012 and its calling to me...

Can I take D-8 Top 100 female/male names in Scotland? I've got The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. Robert is #64 on the nameberry list.

I can also take A-4 title with a number in it if no one else wants it. I found Two Down

I finished Dishing the Dirt tonite 6/20/16 & added it to our Books Read list. So that mystery category is almost ready!
I'd give it 4 stars. Agatha Raisin is such a trip! She's like an aging femme fatale who's still insecure and vain, but she is a great detective!

Book: Dishing the Dirt
By: M.C. Beaton
Pages: 294
Completed: 6/20/16
Task: I-7 Read a book shelved as Mystery by at least 10 people
How it fits: it was shelved Mystery by 43 others

Going to the library this evening to see what I can come up with. I already have J7 - book beginning with the letter A Any Place I Hang My Hat. Probably I'll get the dead author or Scottish name... Hmm.. interesting

That makes two primary books read for that square and it is now open for bonus points!

Up to eight different members can re..."

Ooh! My book Poison that I was going to use as YA was also shelved over 800x as Fantasy, so it can go that way instead. Whichever works best... Of course, I have to complete it first!

Hahaha!

Right now I'm reading The Shadow Revo..."</i>

Too many good books to be believed! I just finished [book:In the Shadow of the Banyan this morning! It was fabulous! I highly recommend it to everyone!
For our challenge I'm reading Dishing the Dirt, Poison, and Any Place I Hang My Hat. In other challenges I'm reading The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree, Midnight Crossroad and Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things. I think I need to be put on a short leash!!

I make sure there are never any spoilers, but just brief synopsis. I will say if I personally loved it or hated it and why. Otherwise why even bother, right? Some books I don't review at all, I just mark as read. That means I didn't care too much one way or another or I was just super busy. Sometimes I will go back and review later on, but not all that often...

Sorry to be such a huge downer, everybody! I'll be good now, I promise! So is everyone having fun yet? What are we all reading?

No, but that would work for the penname task which we may get sometime.

Here's the distinction:

The c4 task is about two or more..."

I don't think I was ever aware of anyone writing as a team using 1 name before! Guess you do learn something new every day...

Like how Robert Gailbraith is actually JK Rowling?

After much thought here are my book selections so far:

J-9 - Poison shelved YA by 423 people!
I-7 - Dishing the Dirt shelved mystery by 43 people
And I can also read Any Place I Hang My Hat for F-6 title beginning with a vowel
