I see you were able to get into the book afterall, Connie!
@Shirley: thanks for the info-I'm going to check this series out now-It sounds interesting. ; )You always find the most interesting books!!
@Janice: It just took some time to get into the book due to the flashbacks and the dialect, and I was fatigued due to the toppler. It really is a good book.
I read my fruitcake choice,
Shatner Rules: Your Guide to Understanding the Shatnerverse and the World at Large, and truly enjoyed it!http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

He's one person I can't decide whether or not I like him. I loved him as Kirk in Star Trek, but then he seemed to be so full of himself. Yet, there's something about him. Maybe I should read the book.
Have you seen Boston Legal? He was absolutely brilliant in that show. =)
But completely eclipsed by James Spader in it I think.
No, I didn't see Boston Legal. :(I thought James Spader in Stargate was very yummy!
Holy hell! That's James Spader?! I watched the movie so much as a kid and it's never, ever clicked. Although the next thing I saw him in was Secretary and that put him in a WHOLE new context.
I remember James Spader in Pretty in Pink. He was such an arrogant yuppie. But he redeemed himself in Stargate. 
Rusalka wrote: "But completely eclipsed by James Spader in it I think."Oh yes, he is also brilliant in Boston Legal. The whole cast was pretty good, but those two carried the show.

i loved pretty in pink!
Finished my fruitcake selection Among Othersand here is my review

Good job, Naomi!How is everyone else doing? We're headed into the last (and very short) week of February! You still have time to finish up your selection.

Janice wrote: "He's one person I can't decide whether or not I like him. I loved him as Kirk in Star Trek, but then he seemed to be so full of himself. Yet, there's something about him. Maybe I should read the..."He is full of himself, but there is a lot more to him that's worth finding out about.
And yes, I loved James Spader in Stargate, which led to a love of the tv series :)
Rusalka wrote: "Holy hell! That's James Spader?! the next thing I saw him in was Secretary and that put him in a WHOLE new context."lol!
I loved that movie. When people mention James Spader as a "yummy" actor, I love to refer them to Secretary. He is such a different character (and the movie soooo quirky) that it throws them for a loop.
Crash is another off the wall one that he played in.
(Canadian/British psychological drama film written and directed by David Cronenberg based on J. G. Ballard's 1973 novel of the same name.)
I swear I read and read yet I never progress through my book only 40% done may not make the finish in this one
Wolf Hunt its only 400 pages long but must have micro print I dont know I use a larger font on my kindle
When you tap once on your kindle the page count appears at the bottom and various icons appear at the top. The ones at the top include font settings, far left and looks like Aa. Well it is on mine anyway :)
Oh, Crash is an awesome movie. I've wanted to read the book for so long.
Lucy wrote: "Oh, Crash is an awesome movie. I've wanted to read the book for so long."There are two movies named Crash. The 2004 R-rated version (which is more well known) is much different from the NC-17 1996 version.
Beware. It will be the difference of Racial Strife and Sexual Deviance.
Hi Janice, I know it's got to be hard to keep track of ALL THIS!!! Yikes, I'd be locked in a padded room (with my Kindle, of course). I had to read Age of Miracles in January because it was a library loan. Your magic ball assigned Mark of Athena in it's place. Thanks for putting together this challenge ;)
Yes I meant I use a large size but the 400 pages itd supposed to be if it were printed must be tiny since its longest 400 pages I've tacklef it seems

I was wondering: Does anyone know if Audible is the only way to get an audiobook on the Kindle?Also , I have no idea how to link to my review...

YAY! I had mastered everything else on the html list, but this was the first time I've linked something and it took a few trial runs. I did a victory fist pump and sqealed. My husband is looking at me like I'm crazy now. :o)

You did it! I read this book last summer and I really enjoyed it too. It was an amazing story and I agree with your comments in the spoiler too!

And don't worry, it gets easier. I did it the first time I tried too. I had to call my daughter for help. :)
You did it Shannon! :)And Chris, you were close. Nex time you link your review, go to the book page and then click on "My Review" so that it pulls up just your review. Then copy the url and paste in the comment field.
You both gave 5 stars to your reads. How exciting is that? Madame Tutti Fruitti is doing dancing.

I bow to the mystical powers of Madame Tutti Fruitti and her Fruit Machine because at the time I was secretly crossing my fingers for a different book, but you were able to divine the perfect book!
Yes, she is mystical indeed. :)
