BUT there are way more than 30 pages on the shelf. Keep entering a page number, and you'll keep getting more, until ..."

Ya, Tien, the more I look at the list, the more I find that might be good. There are the Armistead Maupin Tales of the City books. Also, The Blue Place looks good. Plus I just realized that the Mortal Insturments books are on the list. I have City of Glass to read. And then, as Susan mentioned, Trans-Sister Radio is on the list and Chris Bohjalian is one of my favorite authors.

I agree with D.G., Coralie, if it is really long, I would throw it at the pages tower. I'm sure we can come up with something for here. I may read Katherine by Anya Seton since it has been on my TBR forever. I'll have to see if I can fit it in though.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me, lol. I'm glad you did, cuz now I can read the second Millennium book and not have to find it. ;P

I am the opposite of Tien, I would have thought there would be more books that I have read or want to read on this shelf, but I am only finding one that I have read and three that I am interested in. Weird.

One is a book I have been wanting to read for a while. It is Fingersmith. Unfortunately, it is a pretty long book and I don't know if I will fit it in. I didn't see the Millenium trilogy ones, but I have only read the first, so maybe I'll go with The Girl Who Played with Fire. OR I might try Sing You Home. The one I really want to read is Tell the Wolves I'm Home, but I am still waiting for it from the library.

OK, Dee. Let me know if you change your mind, but it doesn't sound like it will work.

Susan wrote: "Lyn M wrote: "Just an update - Here is what is still available at this point: "

Thanks for the summary, Lyn. It helps to look at a shorter list.

But a couple questions: I think R for name in tit..."

Thanks Susan. If you are talking about my post in the very beginning for R, I deleted that as I was not going to get to the book I had listed for a while. Then Vi asked for R in post #137, which was after I had posted the list, so it wasn't reflected.
As for Q, the last impression I had gotten from D.G. was to leave her after the rules had been changed.

Ya, Tien, just rub salt in our wounds, lol.

Seriously - I think that would be a lot of fun, if your up to it Susan.

My favorite series ever!

Not until Friday????? But I need all the time I can get to think up something clever for the quote thread. I can't wait until Friday, lol. *sitting on hands*

BTW - Susan - I would have loved First in series, debut, or even pebbles from the looks of it, lol.

Vi wrote: "Thanks, Lyn!

I have a question - character in title, letter E is not mentioned as used/reserved in post #5 but you have not mentioned it as free in the post above. If it is free, could you reserv..."

Yep, it was open. I totally missed that one. SO now I have put you on the list as having reserved it.

Okey Dokey.

Vi wrote: "I have yet to throw Amy and Roger's Epic Detour. I can use it for character name in title, letter R."

Gotcha, VI.

Dee wrote: "I might have a potential L in title, but I need to see what role she plays - Franklin and Lucy - I am starting it tomorrow morning"

Thanks Dee, Do you want me to go ahead and reserve it, or wait until you get into it a bit?
