Hahaha thanks Rusalka :-D

*salute*

Great work on the reading, Sam. Happy to see that you finished your "O" book! Keep it going! : ) Sorry you are having to work so much though. Not so fun. Boo!

Managed to get a few more read in recent weeks but now up to U and don't have any in my to-read stack...uhmmm a visit to the library is called for me thinks!!

All the way to U! Grand work! Pop a cork! and keep it going. ; )

Thanks Connie! Still haven't managed to get to the library to hunt down my 'U' but got the whole day Saturday so going to do it then (can't beat a day searching the library shelves!) :-D

Hi Sam. I thought Under the Tuscan Sun was a pretty good read if you want a recommendation.
The book was much better than the movie!

That is a good one, Cherie.

Have fun in the library, Sam! I love an afternoon in the library. : )

Another couple of books you might like are by Seth Grahame-Smith, and by Joshua Ferris.

Great suggestions guys but it's my author's first name U that I need, worry not still hunting the library's shelves and determined to find one!

Finally hunted down my U with The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco...now to read!! :-)

Oooooh! I adore Eco! Happy reading! Soon you will be finished with another alphabet! : )

Go Girl!

Finished The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco and now onto Les Misérables by Victor Hugo and The Splendour of Wales by W.T. Palmer :-)

Finally finished my third alphabet, now on to the next!! :-D

Wow Sam that's really good going! Do you think you'll finish the 4th before the end of the year?

Grats Sam! Lovely to see you poking your head in here. Hope all is going well.

Thanks guys, going to try and get my 4th finished but who knows.

It is thanks Rusalka, been full time on site since Sept so haven't had much chance to get online (gutted at missing this months toppler), good to be busy though and we should be finished next week so I can get back to reading full time :-)

Woohoo! Three alphabets is awesome!

Thanks Janice :-)

But it must be nice doing some fieldwork instead of just desk work. But hopefully we see you back more often soon.

It is but my god its a steep learning curve!!! Only one day to go though and I'll be back online :-)

Finally made a start on my fourth alphabet with Escape from Alcatraz by J. Campbell Bruce and Thunderball by Ian Fleming!

Now on to the next two :-)

Look at you go, Sam!! Congratulations on completing your third alphabet!!

Wow! Three alphabets is impressive! You're doing wonderfully, and making me jealous.

Thanks Jmom!! :-D
