Thanks about the classic claim for my book and I understand what you mean. Thanks for the clarification of the life threatening illness issue. I was pretty sure that this was what you intended. Without reading my book, I may not be able to apply for this task. I don't know how old he is either. I have plenty of other books to keep me occupied all week. I found two others to add to my list as I was looking to start another so I put them off too.
Remember everyone, if you're posting about your Toppler reads on other places besides Goodreads, make sure you use the hashtag #TBRToppler so we can find them!
There are other places besides Good Reads where I would post my toppler books? Not me.I know there is some place called Twitter, but I don't use it. I think it requires a smart phone and mine is the plain old dumb kind that doesn't get too pissy when I need to make a call.
Just tell me what the hash tag says. Ok?
Message #6 I have 4 up as read and am looking at the new ones that went up since I was in the first day. I badly want to do a David Bowie - my star man *ambles off thinking hard*
Come check in Deborah - your teamies are waiting for you over in Not Fourgotten!

Deborah - please check our team thread - the Toppler hadn't started yet. it doesn't do so for another 2hrs 25min ish - we all start at the same time so unfortunately those books won't count.
Like Sarah says Deborah, the Toppler doesn't start until 4am NZ time. I'd go over to your team thread and have a chat over there. Hope you have some good reads this week, but just remember it's only book read in the next week.
Louise hasn't shown up for the Forget-Me-Nots team, so we have 2 less than other teams. If anyone joins late, could we have them?
We're also one short so don't worry Debra.

I'm sad to report, another one died last day. Most of You won't recognise him, but he was a beloved comediant and part of one of the most popular TV shows in Latinamerica: Rubén Aguirre, who played Profesor Jirafales in "El Chavo del Ocho" and other characters as well.http://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias/201...
Almeta and I are about to try our first drink of absinthe... slotted spoon and sugar cubes. The whole shebang!
Oh! Let us know if you see any fairies Debra ;-)

And let us know when you two get your own fairy wings - real or imagined :)

Indeed! It's fun to know that there are so many of us constantly reading around the world tagging in and out :D
I nearly bought a bottle of absinthe on Friday but decided against it. Let me know what you two think!
Book book is Justine for Boutros Boutros Ghali
Jaxnsmom, thanks for an AMAZING toppler! You are the BEST! : )
THANK YOU JAXNSMOM and CALLIE

You can get absinthe at a special bar in New Orleans, but that's the only place I've been exposed to it.
I'd love to see pictures of Debra and Almeta in flapper dresses drinking cocktails.
We used to have flapper dresses, back in the day when that style was all the rage again. I'm more into peasant dresses these days!
Fun and creative toppler. Very happy with the four books i read. Thanks Jaxnsmom! And Janice for cheering us on with fun posts that brightened my days all week! Awesome job team : )
Sorry I dropped of the GR grid for so long. Good days and bad days, and I just couldn't cope for a little while. I'm back now and in a good place. I'll get around to posting badges this weekend.
I'm glad you're feeling better j'mom! Love your avatar change, too. Sunny days ahead.
Sorry you were having some rough times, JMom. I know how that is. Hugs!
The participant and first timer badges are posted so far. Let me know if I've left anyone out.
Did you determine a winning team, JMom?
Thanks Jmom! Sorry to hear you've been a bit under the weather. Hope all is getting better on your end now :)
Here are the results:Team 3 - 76 books
Team 1 - 72 books
Team 2 - 58 books
Team 4 - 45 books
Unfortunately Team 4 had several members not show up, but I can't think of any way to compensate for that. There may be a special badge for them.
Oh, I was on the winning team! Hurrah for us :)
Oh! Yay! Thanks. This was super fun. :)
Congrats Team 3!! Lots of reading accomplished and a good time had by all. Thanks again, Jmom and all!!
