[Leah]

Suzanne, just one more day to go! Are you going to be able to finish your meal?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Don't forget, Doggy Bags are available if you have a dish you want to finish next month.

[Mandy]

We get doggie bags?!?!?!? Freakin SWEET!

I'm several books shy of my goal. I didn't read anything at all for about 10 days . . .I was baking and cooking for family and some things I was selling too.

Sigh . . .I was so sad to think I couldn't finish!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Mandy, yes... Doggy Bags! No respectable pot luck would be caught dead without them! LOL

They're only good for 1 month though. :)

If November for you ladies was anything like it was for me, it's a wonder I got any reading done at all!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Shall I put you in line for a Doggy Bag?

[Becky]

I just want to make sure I understand this Doggy Bag! I can ask for a Doggie Bag and continue to read and post books from the list? Or is it only if I didn't finish my meal plan?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I need some Doggie Bags. I will not get to the Travis books. But I can use a Doggie Bag to try to finish Kushiel's Dart. Great idea, D!

The Doggy Bag is to "take home" the dishes you weren't able to finish. You have through December to finish them and have them count as part of the Pot Luck.

Now, if you've finished your meal plan and want to continue reading the books on the list, you can always do so by making it part of your Build Your Own challenges for December and beyond if you like.

Great job, Dina!!!

[Dina]

Thanks, UM. This was a very fulfilling challenge. Almost all the "dishes" I selected have earned 5 stars from me - the sole exception was Again The Magic.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Again the Magic is one of my favorite books. Surely if it didn't earn 5, it earned 6 or 7? ;)

I'm VERY happy you enjoyed the challenge. It was fun to work it out and everyone "brought" such wonderful "dishes." We'll be using the list in the future, plus if someone wants to use the list for their BYOC, they can do that too!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Congrats to everyone who finished!

[Dina]

UM, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I gave Again The Magic only 3 stars. You can "trash" my review if you feel like it, LOL.

[Leah]

Congrats, Miss Dina! :D

I'd never trash anyone's reviews! I'm sure you had your reasons for not liking it as much as I did. And I forgive you! LOL

[Dina]

Thanks, Danielle & Leah. :)

UM - You're so understanding! ;)

That's one huge Doggy Bag, Danielle! Kudos!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Thanks!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I'm looking forward to your review!!

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

What was it like Danielle? I keep seeing it in the library and am ever sure about picking it up.

Meaty, complex, challenging, engrossing, and sometimes a bit shocking.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Oh that sounds good!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I'm trying to order it from Borders right now, but their site won't let me search for books. I might be wasting my time, because I don't know how much they're charging for it since I can't search it! LOL

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Does anyone know where Mollie is? I haven't seen her on lately, and a PM has gone unanswered. I hope she's ok.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Try Amazon, I would say that as I stupidly loyal to it! I even have a shrine LOL

No I haven't seen her on other threads, maybe she is busy with xmas, hopefully she will pop nack on soon.

I've taken a break from that book after 100 pages where she's about 14 years old. Good job Danielle!

[Leah]

You're almost done, Suzanne! Only a little doggie bag left! ;D

I haven't seen Mollie around either! She's been absent from all the challenges! Maybe she's just got stuff going on in her personal life that has kept her away from us.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Well, if anyone hears from her, let us know. We worry about our friends!
