A year ago there was an art exiibtion in Delaware that I was hoping to go to but the timing didn't work out. It's an artist who takes books and uses the spines to create poetry: Book Spine PoetryAnyway, the purpose of this tale is that I tend to see "poetry" with some titles as I did with Leslie's 3 current books -
To Defy a King
Love Me to Death
One Grave at a Time.
:) Have a great day everyone!

Oh, I love that,Rebecca!! I always notice that I tend to read books that have the same word in the title in the same month, but I never put it together that way.

Are you waxing or waning poetic?
Ok...somehow...I forgot to post something!The Sheen on the Silk..pps 66-106..40p
I think this was supposed to go for 7 Oct. I've been so exhausted....I don't know which way is up!
I think I'm waning poetic. I like the way that sounds. Like I'm slightly drunk, while spouting rhyming words.

I know there are some differences there with Judy and Melissa's post. I think that Melissa's is due to which edition (I show a 363 pp. and a 368 pp. - I used the 363) Judy - I checked the spreadsheet and I don't know why we're 100 off. Would you mind checking yours again?

Well, G*d only knows where I got my total from! I'll go with yours. It sounds way better.No wait, I see the problem. Do you want me to PM you or keep it on the thread?
Chris, I started on page 210 with the book To Defy a King. I've read to page 239. That's only 29 pages not 239 pages.I'm so sorry if my entry was confusing. I start and stop with that book so much, it's a little confusing.
I am not sure if this is an accurate count for me(normally) for some readon, I want tosay I would normally have read more than this! can't explain why I'm sooooo exhausted this month! lol
