Good to be on the same page 😆

I'm done & ready for the next prompt, when you are. :)

I have one book left. I had chosen it but misplaced it somewhere! If i can't find it I'll have to get another one xx

All good.

I'm thinking, for the next spell-out we do together, as an extra challenge, we spell-out only by title name (excluding The, A & An). What do you think?

Maybe, maybe.
I'm done by the way! Roll up Roll up!

PS If you can put the authors on your posts that would help! Years are great too

I know you will get some questions repeated but you can obviously do the spell outs.

Question 2: What animal would you want to be reincarnated as
Task2: Read a book with the animal that your partner chooses on the cover or mentioned in text.

I don't want to be reincarnated as an animal at all, but I'm going to say I would like to be a WHITE ROYAL BENGAL TIGER.





Royal Bengal Tigers are also known as Indian Tiger and Bengal Tiger. They constitute a large population of tiger families in the world. The Bengal tiger is the National animal of India and is found mostly in India, China, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Burma.

BLACK AND WHITE HOUSE CAT for me

For the spell-outs, you mean? In that case, I'll spell-out according to title.

Richard wrote: "Jazzy wrote: "PS If you can put the authors on your posts that would help!"

Yes I mean the spell outs.

Title/Year/Author/

Also if the author doesn't have your letter and you only put the title it doesn't seem to fit :)

Richard wrote: "BLACK AND WHITE HOUSE CAT for me"

You know they also call those TUXEDO CATS? :)
Unless you mean some other sort of black and white cat?

Ok I'll put Title/Author. I'll leave out Year, because I don't really see the need for it.

Why no need for the year? I PREFER to read older books (at least 50 years old) and like to have an idea when they were written

To me it is one of the most important things. You also get an idea of where in the timeline of the world the book was written.

I understand that's how you like to approach books. For me, that factor doesn't influence me at all.

For you I will, but I'll leave it out of my other challenges. Cool?

I'll stick with 'Black and White House Cat', because that equals 21 letters which is the same amount as yours.

42 is also the same amount we had last time. It IS the meaning of life.

Ok...it took a while, but I updated all the books I've added here.

You little star! I just meant from the new ones but that's fabulous! x

How do i know which books you've read? Do you tick them off or rate them or both?

Jazzy wrote: "How do i know which books you've read? Do you tick them off or rate them or both?"

I add them after I've read them.

Richard wrote: "Jazzy wrote: "How do i know which books you've read? Do you tick them off or rate them or both?"

But if you add some before you read them maybe i can read them with you!

Ok...I'll see what I can do.

I'll put them in, & rate them when I've finished them.

Hey by the way, isn't that Jingle Jangle Morning book great? I really enjoyed it.

I LOVE it, i'm keeping it to refer to and you might also like Singing from the Floor (2014) - J.P. Bean



I read a couple other books on folk music but can't think of what they were at the moment.

I rated this book as 4 stars, so I really enjoyed it as well. It really read like a novel.

Barefoot in Babylon: The Creation of the Woodstock Music Festival, 1969 - Bob Spitz - (1979) - 482 pages

it's a bit too pricey for me at the moment. I just bought a new guitar yesterday!!

You could use that Ocean of PDF link I sent you in a Private Message a while ago, if you want...

And how cool! (re: your new axe)

Okay, I've added all my books to be read. There's even a book that was published in 1896!!

Now I need sleep...I have work in a few hours...

NGD! New Guitar Day...should be getting it in in a couple of days. Goodnight!

Sorry I'm not too well and sleeping an inordinate amount of hours so not reading as much x

That's ok. Take care of you.

Still recovering but feeling better. Took my new guitar to class!

I know I've replaced some books in my reading list...that's just how I do my challenges. If I read something for another challenge that also happens to fit this one, I'll put it in.

I swap them too if i find something else. No worries! I still have a few to go, only read 35 so far!

Jazzy wrote: "I swap them too if i find something else. No worries! I still have a few to go, only read 35 so far!"

ONLY...lol... That's still 35 books in 15 or so days. Apart from us, that's a lot for most people!

I'm done, but no rush. Take your time! (c:

Ah, ta Rich! No don't get too excited, i'm not done yet, still have 4 to go. It's cold and wet here, I imagine it must be similar where you are :)

Very cold here. Perfect temperature for me.

Me too! I'm not a fan of hot weather at all. It's 12 degrees and very comfy. Happily it was even cooler on the weekend.

3 books to go.

No rush at all. I'm also doing about 25 other challenges over 6 different groups...
