Lyn (Readinghearts)’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

What a great idea, Tien.

Thanks all. I am switching first name I to Amy and releasing first name F to anyone who can read it. Although I don't think it matters, much as everyone has pretty much forgotten about this tower, I think. There hasn't been any activity for quite a while.

Didn't realize it was frozen, Susan. It is unfrozen now. :(

And Then There Were None is my favorite Agatha Christie of all!

I know, this shelf just isn't appealing to me at all."

There are some great books on there, that if for sure!

I am set to read A Game of Thrones in April, which is on the list. :) If for some reason that falls through my alternates are:

Watchmen
Dracula ( I am reading Salem's Lot this month, so I may go for another Vampire book)
The Girl Who Played with Fire
The Kite Runner (also on my LOST list)
Sharp Objects (love Gillian Flynn)
American Gods

Lol, Karen. 120? What is is you don't like about this shelf *puddle on the floor from the dripping sarcasm*

I have to admit, I am jealous of some of the things that are written. I wish I was that eloquent.

I can't prove that lay readers enjoy books more than professional critics; but I can tell you one advantage we have over them. We can forget. Dr Starkie and her kin..."

I am going to start making a file of these great quotes. This one also made me smile, Coralie. I love the way some of the authors have with words.

Oh man! I was hoping I would make it through unscathed. I thought my special "mod"ern armor would keep me safe. :( Good thing I do not have any other books going yet. I am off to see what I can do to facilitate my return. :)

Do you mean, 368 pages, for this one?"

Yes, I did. Dang fingers. :)

I think I have some pages that I haven't reported.

I have read the following, and haven't reported them elsewhere:

The Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society448 pages 2/21
Edge of Black 268 pages 2/23
Suspect 312 pages 2/25
Funnel Vision 284 pages 3/7
Three Graves Full 307 pages 3/9

Yes it will. Either Sherri is psychic, or you sold information?????

LynnB wrote: "Argh! Didn't see the time thing until now. I'm behind a few hours - oh, well...."

Sorry LynnB. I think, though that you are just a few hours behind? Anyway, we as Dee said, we are still working out the bugs. :)

I agree, Dee. I am expecting there to be bugs, etc. this time.

Thanks Dee. Happy reading everyone!

Dee wrote: "I know this was an issue with sign-ups as well so a time zone note would be great ;)"

Take a look at the change I made, Dee, and let me know if it makes sense to you?

Actually, the only issue we had with sign-ups is that I got the date wrong, but I think your suggestion of a time zone note is a good one. I will amend the rules. Thanks Dee.

Actually, I'm not really sure how Tien handles that, but I say if it is the 15th on Australia, where this group is "located" then everyone can start reading now.

Here is where we stand now.
