Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Al Capone shines my shoes? Never heard of it but I love love the title!


message 10: by Lori (new)

Lori Goldstein This was the sequel to "Al Capone Does My Shirts" and came out about 2 - 3 years afterwards. The history of Alcatraz this author works into both stories is really good and you almost don't realize you're reading a young teen type of book.

The Alcatraz history is in my blood. I'm Native American and there are people from my history to where involved with take over. Sounds like I need to add this series to my list.

Cee | 141 comments You have read quite a lot :o Love the list!


message 15: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Yes!!! it is quite the list!


message 16: by Lori (last edited Dec 31, 2011 01:00AM) (new)

Lori Goldstein Thanx for your compliments. And yes I've read quite a lot. I've always been a pretty avid reader and wish I'd started a "READ" list sooner.

As I said, will be adding more "past" books hopefully before year's end.


message 17: by Lori (new)

Lori Goldstein Still struggling with my list of "READ" books and don't think will complete listing by tonite. Can someone help me with how to handle this plus starting my 2012 count and challenges?


Happy New Year fellow bookworms.


message 18: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Happy New Year to you as well!


message 19: by Lori (new)

Lori Goldstein Zakiya,
Absolutely love this area of the web. BTW would it be possible for you to answer my question referenced above.

Again, have a wonderful New Year's.


message 20: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Sure! I would say to make a post each month where you keep up with what you read for that month. And then any other posts, you can just have "read books" or something of that sort until you get them completed.

Does that make sense?


message 21: by Lori (new)

Lori Goldstein Yes and to make sure I understand:

1. Starting with January 2012 post what I've read for that month.

2. For pre read books list them as I think about titles (with total for "pre-read" & another for current month only!)

Please confirm if I am understanding because I believe I did.


message 22: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Yep! And then, at the end of the year, you can just add up your months, and the 'pre-read'. Unless you add up the months as you go. Then it will be that total + "pre-read".


message 23: by Lori (new)

Lori Goldstein Thanx Zakiya. Off to read after doing a few things around the house.

Hope your New Year's was fun and here's to a wonderful year filled with many new authors and books.


message 24: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Right back at cha, Lori!! :P
