How's everyone doing? Any questions...?
I just finished






★★★★ for the imaginative world of Shadow Moon, Would be 5 stars but I felt a bit lost throughout the story, flipping from different stories to what felt like "mini stories". Gaiman is brilliant!

You know, part of why I love doing..."
Great Idea Teddie! Part of the fun of the game is the Chatter about our reads. @Treavor ~ You are reading all the best new books!!! yes, please about posting your opinions :)

I'll have Good As Gone finished tonight! No V's so far :( But I'll look for my next read.

Super cute!!! They sure would make a great Valentine's Gift for that book lover in your (my) life ;)

Q: What are the 1 - 3 best books you read in 2016?
1.

2.

3.

My question is twofold :
Who is your favorite author & your favorite book by them ?

Hey Shamber! welcome :) I'm not too far from you, only a bit SE of Dallas
First, you can only use the book you start reading on Feb 1st. Any you have read or are currently reading cannot be used.
For a collection, I believe if the books are also single novels greater than 100 pages, you can list them individually.
So, if I'm correct you can use The Horse and His Boy because it's 224 pages.
Let's see if Teddie agrees, or has something to add....

No problem! you did fine... cannot complain for thoroughness!!! It's usually the case of not enough info. Good job :)
