You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

There are some great looking choices there Judy. :)

Added Silent in the Grave to my list. Looks good!

Someone Knows My Name sounds good, too! Hey, I don't need more books on my TBR list, dog gone it!

lol, thanks!

OK, how's this - Although takes place in an unnamed place, you could make the case that the movie version has British accents, and so could be in Great Britain, which is an island :)

does take place in the UK, so there's a definite one.

Don't know if this is yellow enough, but takes place on the Malayan island of Penang.

Another set in England -

Hot fudge, no nuts :)

The Gift of Rain looks yellow to me! You have MY vote!

Matilda is looking good, and if I can bribe Janice with enough e-chocolate perhaps she will see things our way with The Gift of Rain."

Just how much e-chocolate? Hmmmm?

Great sundae Judy! And extra whipped cream - perfect!

YES! Judy, I haven't read the Violet Fairy Book yet!

*bigloudsmackofakiss* THANK YOU!

*dance*

Ah, Judy? You are going to score this monument first-book-crossed-off the list, aren't you? LOL!

ROFL! That's funny, Judy. :) Thanks for scoring. That was your R Task (Red, Author name starts with R), right?

Yes, "bluest" is okay. Adding the suffix to it doesn't change the meaning of the word.

Super job, Judy! You're on fire with all that orange.

Yes you may count it.

Judy wrote: "30 pts = 5th orange book
3 pts = 354 pages
5 pts = Orange in title and orange cover
38 pts total


Running total = 246 points"

You got all excited and didn't tell me which book you read.

You have some pretty orange covers! ; )
Go girl!

Judy wrote: "Now Janice, is that really necessary? LOL!!(fixed)

@Connie Thanks, Connie. Could I sign up for your next speed reading class? :-)"

LOL! - At a minimum, it beautifies your page. :)

And I'll sign up for Connie's class too.

What did you think of think of Orange Crush? I love Serge Storms! Did you by any chance listen to it? Oliver Wyman really makes Serge come alive, and takes you on the wildest trip. Nuclear Jellyfish has my favorite murder methods. I love all the Florida trivia too!

Not Janice (obviously) but I'll vote in your favour Judy!

I think I aprroved that book for someone else - so go for it, but you must tell me what you think of it.

Definitely Orannnnnnnnge!

Nope. Too bad they aren't ALL that easy!

Wow - 10 orange books! You've got me beat.

Red is giving me difficulty, too! Dang it! You are really moving along, Judy! ; )

I've got lots of books for all the colors. Perhaps you can find some reds and indigos on my bookshelves. There is a shelf for each color in the rainbow. Help yourselves!

It's so nice when people share....

*makes a beeline for Debra's rainbow shelves*

:-)

Did you like The Orphan Master's Son? I have it on my tbr list, but have not gotten to it. I keep looking at it and thinking, well, later.

Thank you, Debra! I shall head on over to your shelves! I have done the same thing with my shelves...color coded them. If anyone wants to take a look, help yourself!

Connie, you are welcome. I'm going to check your shelves out, too. You and I seem to like some of the same books/genres.

You betcha! Enjoy. :)

Where's Kermie???

I just saw you have on your ideas list.
Let me know how you go. Paulo and I aren't talking so I'm kinda trying to get the goss on him ;)

30 pts = 2nd yellow book
2 pts = 2 "I's" in title...

AND 2 points for I in the author's name.

Congratulations on your beautiful rainbow! Champagne on ice for you! ; )

Yeah! I'm doing a happy dance for you! What are we eating in celebration?

Rabbit, anyone?

LOL!

Yay for the rainbow, Judy. I think I am the only one without a rainbow. *sadface*

*Runs away to frantically look for appropriately colored books in everyone's folders.*

You are not alone, Pragya. I have two tasks to go before I earn my rainbow.

Ouch! Sorry Judy. :)

Mmmmm! Smoothies!
Judy, you can knock that blue book off in no time! ; )

I must find out about this fascination with audio books! I am going to check at my library and see if they have anything I can try.

Judy, keep those snails fresh! lol

You will make it very soon! I believe in you!!! Toppler will be a fantastic time to catch up! ; )

It does sound nice for those mundane chores we all have to do. I do hate dusting and ironing. I am going to give it a go. ; ) I'll let you know how it goes once I find something at the library!

I must give credit where credit is due. Since joining this group, Judy's talk about audio books inspired me to give it a try. I went to Librivox.com and downloaded Moll Flanders and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I also downloaded the e-book. I listened to them both and, sometimes, followed along with the e-book. I must admit, I'm hooked! I listen while cleaning, driving, and when the house is so full of people that I can't concentrate. It's a great way for me to knock those old classics off my TBR list. Thanks, Judy!

Ice will work, Judy. (evil grin)

Thanks for the websites! Classics always end up being my favorites. Not sure I am ready for War and Peace though! Wow!

Judy wrote: "You all are killing me. Off to look up rabbit recipes. (Don't tell Janice, Connie, but I have a stash of escargo especially for her!) I have some tasty looking green smoothies for you and me, Conni..."

Escargot, rabbit, and green smoothies, oh my!

Congrats on getting your rainbow, Judy!

Judy wrote: "Oh, ^%&*$%#@##! I just finished but forgot it had to be a physical book not an audiobook. Silly me!!"

That sux! At least you enjoyed yourself while reading it! I've almost made the same mistake several times with blue books! Audio and eBook!

I discovered audiobooks this year and am very happy I'm giving them a try. I listen while driving and during my cardio work-out.

Connie, I highly recommend Spencer Quinn's Chet and Bernie mystery series of books for some light, fun, heartwarming listening. The voice of the narrator, Chet the dog, is perfect. Here's the link for the first book: Dog on It

I enjoyed this series so much, I talked to my hubby and sister a lot about it. (Sis has read them, too.) Now I'm reading the series again, out loud, to my hubby. We are on the 2nd book. He and I are really enjoying ourselves.

Do you just read them out loud or act them out? Would love to hear your Chet voice!☺
