LOL. Dee, I am surprised that I intuitively knew what KWIM meant! Thanks for the grin today!
Congrats, Tien! Feels good, doesn't it!

Amy, the first time I read this post, I thought the title of your new thread was JAIL. LOL
Congratulations, Lusie and Tien!

Carrie, I do hope you and your daughter are recovering. Don't worry about the reading...we are all in sympathy.

OK...here goes:
The Silence of Bones - on my TBR
Spinning Silver - 4* for me
The Storyteller's Daughter - because it looks interesting...yikes! magical realism
No worries, Beth. I've been there several times this season (late, that is).
Part 3 will be posted in mid-August.

Thanks for the picks, Meg. You choose three books that I have planned for several games, so the choice is hard. I counted the games each has been planned for and came up with 8, 7, and 9. Good Girl, Bad Girl wins.

But then, we'll have to see if Dee can still find an ebo..."Currently The Mirror & the Light is not available in book form for me in my local library. I haven't looked in the Augusta one. BUT...the local library has it on CD ~ 30 discs! I wonder what it would be like to do the CD edition.
Joanna wrote: "I've already read Bringing up the Bodies, but I'd be interested in joining for Book 3 (The Mirror & the Light) if you decide to do that next."I'm in the same boat with Joanna. Although I have one caveat...please read Bringing Up the Bodies over at least 10 days while I work on Ahab's Wife, which I started today.
I chose Kicking It, an anthology of paranormal stories. I loved it and sailed through it reading several stories a day! 4*Many of the authors chosen for the book were unknown to me, so initially I was not sure what to expect. However, each story was so fun and interesting and different! I really ate this book up, and that is not usual for me with an anthology of stories.
It was also fun to note that the title made up the theme...each story had some element of spectacular boots!
I read this for the Monthly Shelf only.
I nominate: Urban Fantasy
