Mark, that was months ago. I'm not currently playing that game right now.

I loved American Gods but I'm sick of Gaiman. He's everywhere, and his facebook posts are way annoying.

[Cynthia]

Really, Gaiman is annoying?? I thought he was the Goodreads darling?

I finished reading Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter which I won in a giveaway. I really enjoyed it.

I've just started Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Jammies, it arrived on Friday but I didn't pick up the mail until this afternoon. So far, it seems to hold promise. :)

[Julie]

I started Left Neglected by Lisa Genova a couple days and like it way more than I thought I would.

[Jammies]

Janice, yay, I'm glad it arrived safely! Just don't forget to send it back when you're done. :)

I'm reading A Discovery of Witches and so far it's more romance than anything else. I wonder if I misread the book description?

I started reading it right away so that I'm not delayed in getting it back to you. It's in pristine shape and I'm paranoid I'll smudge it up, ear mark pages, or spill coffee on it.

I have Discovery of Witches on my wishlist. The more I look at the description, the more I think I should pass on it. I'll be interested in your review when you're done.

I liked Fountainhead more than I thought I would."

I liked The Reader quite a bit, but I wonder if the tone is intentional or a result of translation.

[Jammies]

Janice, books are meant to be loved. If that means a bent page, a coffee stain or a fingerprint, so be it! Wallow in the book, don't treat it like a relic, please.

[Janice]

I am notorious for spilling things. On Monday, my purse smelled suspiciously like ginger beef. I gave it a good inspection and found a green pepper on the bottom and sauce on the side. We had gone for Chinese food on Sunday night and I dropped a piece of green pepper from the ginger beef when I was trying to put it on my husband's plate (not overly fond of gp). I thought it landed on the floor, but it landed in my purse.

[Phil]

My books are generally kept pristine. I'm careful not to break the spine on paperbacks.

[Sally, la reina]

This Led Zeppelin book is sucking my will to read.

Phil and I are similarly anal.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm reading A Severed Head and The Great Hill Stations of Asia.

*grin* Sounds like me. Except usually I find things down my cleavage.

[Phil]

"Things" like Mr. Jammies?

[Lee]

Phil sees the word cleavage....and stutters.

[Sally, la reina]

Lee types the word cleavage and ellipses.

[Janice]

It sounded so good to Phil that he said it twice.

[Félix]

You can say that again.

[Félix]

Lee is eclipsed by cleavages.

[Jammies]

Phil, there hasn't been a Mr. Jammies since 2000, so no.

[Sally, la reina]

Is he suffocating?

[Félix]

No but he can't hear anything.

[Sally, la reina]

I bet he's smiling.

[Félix]

I think you would win that bet.

[Sally, la reina]

Jammies, when I was breastfeeding my mammaries were enormous. One day I found a ballpoint pen in there.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I wondered where my pen went.

[Félix]

Good thing you didn't reach in there.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

What makes you think I didn't?

[Félix]

That's what I get for thinking at all.

[Sally, la reina]

Larry, it is time you found out.

[Félix]

Okay. I guess I'm ready as I ever will be.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

What are we finding out?

[Sally, la reina]

**waits patiently**

[Félix]

Oh. I get it.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I am LAUGHING so hard at this, Miss Sally!

[~Geektastic~]

I don't have much to offer by way of cleavage commentary, literally and figuratively.

Anyway, I'm on an historical (I like the British way, it sounds nicer) fiction bender it would seem. I finished Pillars of the Earth a while back and now I'm reading Wolf Hall. I'm glad I read Pillars first; it doesn't hold a candle to Wolf Hall and would have been a major letdown.

[Cynthia]

Amber I enjoyed Wolf Hall but got tired of all the "He" references. Had a hell of a time figuring out who "He" was referring to. Just use his name for Pete's sake!

That is all."

Booger catchers, more likely.

I think it helps that I'm listening to it on audio, so the narrator differentiates the voices of whose speaking. The "he" thing threw me off at first, but after a while I just generally assumed it was Cromwell, unless the sentence made absolutely no sense for him.

[Sarah]

I started Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Dreadnought but I decided to try to finish the latter first while there are lots of people around.
