It's been more than 10 years since I last read The Thorn Birds, and I've just set it down and realised how differently I perceive the characters now that I'm a little bit older!How is everyone else doing??
Thank you, Shirley! You always seems to find such interesting free reads! I downloaded it!

No, it's definitely working for me just in a different way :)

Good job, Judy! :)Thanks, Kat. :)

Checking in. I actually finished a book and got in a little house keeping before booting up my laptop so I would not feel so guilty about spending the rest of the weekend reading. I finished the last 136 pages of I Heard That Song Before. It is my "I" book for the ABC challenge. I was going to stop reading it until the Toppler was over, when I realized that it fit into a task. I am going to start on Dear Mr. Darcy: A Retelling of Pride and Prejudice

Oh, I want it. But I don't have a Kindle. Not available on Nook. Waaaaaaaaa!
Well, I was out when Noon struck, so started reading as soon as I got home. I just finished reading my first book: Scarlet for the

1. Books must be started and finished in this time period to qualify for points.
Hot, hard, sexy, wet, throbbing, aroused...yep, I finished Chance Encounter :D But I have to say, the ending was a bucket of cold water, when Ally said "I hope we're making a baby.", YUCK!
I finished reading A Walk to Remember and have written a verse of a love song dedicated to my recently departed little kitty, Lucy.A walk to remember down Lucy lane,
Tears shed in her gold lion's mane.
Her light will shine until the end of time,
Bright eyes speaking of a soul sublime.
In Heaven's stars above,
She will bask in our love,
Again at the Rainbow Bridge,
On a sunny, grassy ridge.

Very very sweet Debra. We have a cat and a dog nearing the end now and it is a very poignant time.
I've been trying to read while entertaining a 5 year old today and it's not going well. Things have picked up in the last couple hours, though, when I realized The History of Love was sitting out of sight on a table. I started this instead of The Stone Diaries and am whizzing through it. Should be done before I go to sleep.

Awwwwwww....so sweet!
Hmmmmm.......Just as I was sitting down to read, the phone rang. It was my parent's relator wanting to show the house! Sooooooo, I had to put the book the aside and clean like crazy! When I finally did get started, I realized that The Evidence Against Her: A Novel isn't exactly a page turner. sigh....... BUT, I need to finish this book because I think I may have a spine poem! Tomorrow there is a 2 hour open house which means cleaning again and trying to find a place a go with 2 dogs. Sigh....... LOL

That's so nice that you were able to make a verse for Lucy.

That is very beautiful.
Is it too late to join the toppler since it started over 7 hours ago?

I am glad I finished it any way. :) I am really enjoying

Cherie, that looks like an interesting book.
Joe wrote: "Is it too late to join the toppler since it started over 7 hours ago?"Nope Joe, just pick your team and start reading :)
(I'm biased an' all but I think Words of Love team is the one to join ;) )
Almeta and I are tippling a bit more with some wine called Witches Brew. It's a spiced red wine and is quite tasty. Cheers!
Yes, Joe we would love to have you sign up with us at Words of Love!: )
Some might disagree with Lynn and say that Love Stinks is the team to join if you like winning :)

Now is the time to put kindle on your computer (it's free and the book is short)
I did it! I finished
. Wasn't sure if I was going to make it for a while there, but I pushed through. Only for Love Stinks!
Connie wrote: "Cherie, that looks like an interesting book."It really is, Connie! It is all written as letters from all of the characters. It is really entertaining and well written, I think. I had to buy it when I saw it in the book store a couple of weeks ago. The last P&P version I read was Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It was a retelling too. The last real version I read was a couple of years ago, when I got my 1st Nook. I bought a book of all of Jane Austin's books and Pride and Prejudice was the 1st one I re-read. It is my favorite of all of hers.
I would live to be in the "Words of Love" team. The sign up thread is closed, so can I go ahead and use the reporting thread?
I am putting it on my tbr list. : )I love Austen, and like you P & P is my favorite.
Joe wrote: "Is it too late to join the toppler since it started over 7 hours ago?"Joe, We would love to have you join the Love Stinks team.
It's never too late to include you. We will be here all week. :)
Just grab one book and come sign up.
Joining the wine drinkers while I keep going with my book.
I have read 41% of Birdsong. Only another 300 pages to go! It's getting on for 2am here so I am off to bed now. Happy reading everyone!
I'm watching my hockey and will be starting my next book - The Rose GardenI may have to see what kind of beverages we have in the fridge.
