OMG, I just melted! Wow, I can't wait until November!

I've changed the name of this challenge to Lisa's Ladies' Pot Luck Challenge to coincide with the name of the book list which will end up being Lisa's Ladies' Favorite Books.

[Carolyn F.]

I'm in, but this one looks super challenging.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Glad to have you with us, Carolyn! Just choose one of the "meal plans" that only require 1-3 books, and you get to pick the books from the list, so it shouldn't be too hard.

If you have any questions, just holler! :)

For your info, I wanted to have All I Can Eat of Nick Gentry. Period. It's that simple. And I don't share so that's why I made my own! :)

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "Mollie, I'll put you down for 8, then increase if you read more. Sound good?"

Yes, or as Babbalouie and Quixdraw would say: 'sall-right. (I usually read more than 40/month, so it's just a matter of noting which ones are on the lists that are not books I put there.)

Remember? "Quixdraw, I thin' you meesed it."

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Quick draw McGraw?

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "Quick draw McGraw?"

Yes, a cartoon character from long ago.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I remember him. I watched him when I was a kid. And Gumby and his pony pal Pokey, too. :)

Mighty Mouse just came up a little while ago in Word Association (Book Haven group)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Did you ever watch that puppet cartoon, Thunderbirds?

[Kate]

Mollie *scoutrmom* wrote: "I've made some preliminary selections, I may be changing a few..."

I figure all my lists are subject (and likely) to change :)

[Kate]

UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "Did you ever watch that puppet cartoon, Thunderbirds?"

My Dad loooooved the Thunderbirds. They did a movie a few years ago, but either they missed the part where they were puppets or they were too afraid to be related to that "World Police" movie.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I used to watch the Thunderbirds, but their lips freaked me out. LOL

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Miss Kate, I'm with you and Mollie. I'm likely to change books, too.

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "Did you ever watch that puppet cartoon, Thunderbirds?"

Nope. I liked Inspector Gadget, though.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Nope, no IG for me. I like the Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner Show though.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]
