GR stats measure # books read per year, but also pages. You can toggle back & forth between them.

The Mark Inside: A Perfect Swindle, a Cunning Revenge, and a Small History of the Big Con

The beginning is about financial cons and swindles since American colonial days. Interesting history and so little has changed.

Sally - I got it from the library. But you should move it up your list, it was a good read. I found the background information interesting, and I liked how the author put the story of Colonel Foster in the context of the author's own journey, alongside the stories of other explorers that did the same quests.

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Last night I finished Fifty Shades of Grey - E.L. James. It was an intense books. It had me crying, laughing and even cringing at the events of Mr Grey and Ms Steele. Now I am going to read Fifty Shades Darker - E.L. James.

I read it years ago and have thought about re-reading it. I just get distracted by all the other books begging to be read.

Janice (jamasc) I'm on the final stretch of 11/22/63. I have 5 hours (out of 30) to go.

I'm starting a week long read-a-thon tomorrow morning and hope to read Pitcairn's Island, In One Person, The Crossing Places, and The Graveyard Book.


message 2672: by Janice (new)

Janice (jamasc) The "You'll Love This One" group has started doing read-a-thons with the aim of reducing your TRB list. Sometimes we have 24 hour read-a-thons; others are a week long.

Here's a link to the one starting tomorrow: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...

After the last TBR Toppler (which is what we call them), we decided on getting custom tea blends and have come up with two names and flavours. I'm in the process of finalizing the details with the company that does custom blends. That should explain all the mention of tea on the thread.

Eating books will give you a stomach ache. Sounds like you need some regular food.
