This is my first crop bingo and if all of them are like this with the chatting, I am not going to get any scrapping done!

But you're making new friends - right??

Have you ever read any Andrew Greeley books?

I've heard of him but have never read any of his works. What would you suggest?? He is a rather prolific writer.

LOL!!

I'm trying to list as many words - maybe I should call 20 words next time

I posted Like Water for Chocolate as a bonus word because it is one of those "dirty, little, secret pleasures". The writing is fantastic, but the passion and (sex ) is pretty darn nice too!!

Do you have any books like these that get your blood boiling?

I thought they did a good job on the movie too!!

So from my list of 100 books what percentage do you think you have read? I think I've read about 75-80% (unfortunately can only recall about 35% of what each are about) If only I had a memory!! I am impressed that you have read that many of them. I may be at about 40% I'll pretty much read anything...

I just got The Alchemist as a gift a few months ago. Being in school, I don't have a lot of pleasure reading time but this book was a slow start. It seems very interesting though. I haven't finished it yet. It is very interesting - he definitely is a more serious writer. Get through it - it's worth...

Did you miss the whole deal with our wonderful governor in South Carolina Mark Sanford who was MIA from his office and staff in June supposedly hiking on the App. Trail & really he was in Argentina with his mistress? The wife wrote a book. The divorce hearing was yesterday - thank God that the ...

I have to say - the writing is not the greatest, but boy Meyer's hit on a female chord. The books are addictive!! My sisters, sisters in law, girlfriends have all read them.

I love that one too!!

I put March as a bonus book because the author, Geraldine Brooks, is now one of my favorite writers. I love her writing because she does a lot of leg work. Some of her other stories are A Year of Wonders and People of the Book!

So who is your favorite author??

Oh so many good books - so little time and little space to list them all!!

I would rather read a book but I like listening to them when traveling and driving. Me, also I seem to get more out of the books when I read them rather than listen to them. I seem to have so many distractions when I am just listening and doing other things at the same time. Who is she?? I haven't ...

Definately read them. That is why I haven't caved and bought a Kindle yet. I love to actually have the book in my hand. I also have the Historian, but haven't read it yet. I am bad about going into the bookstore and buying 5-10 books at a time, and then forgetting about them. I have a basket of boo...

It's called staying up really late! I actually enjoy reading to my kids as much as reading for myself - I love to see them get into the stories!!

So I have The Historian as a bonus word because my dh is listening to it on CD (I already read it a year ago I liked it). Do you prefer to read your books or listen to them?? READ!!!!!! READ!!!!!! READ!!!!! Just as I prefer to actually turn the pages of a book rather read them on a kindle. I also p...
