Challenges and Events 2015. Daily Archives: August 5, 2015. Stats, or What’s Up With That? August 5, 2015. I realized over the past couple months that my post The Sadness that is the End of the Minithon. I wonder when I see stories of people who apparently make a living being a Youtube sensation or a blogger, how much traffic is that? Is it just a sea of muddled prose in your mind? Do one or two stand out and the rest is grey? Idle thoughts on books and movies. Some new, but mostly old. Idle thoughts on ...

Challenges and Events 2015. Monthly Archives: July 2015. Mr and Mrs. North Continued. July 19, 2015. I love the old covers:. They’re not great mysteries, but they’re entertaining, and I think they play fair. I plan to keep reading them, but not right away. I feel like something different. I might read Go Set a Watchman. I certainly don’t want to read any more spoilers and that seems inevitable, doesn’t it? This book covers the square A Method of Murder in the Title for Bev’s Golden Age Mystery Bingo.

Challenges and Events 2015. All posts by phinnea. November 4, 2016. Lovely blue color though. TL, DR: Don’t bother unless you’re a Christie completionist. Once more vowing to step up my game and finish the year with style and aplomb. Hoping to finish Woman in White, the Waves, and maybe some other stuff I started earlier. There’s enough of it to last the rest of the year, sad to say. Master and Margarita: Non-Spoilery General Review. November 4, 2016. Devil and Jesus is there, but not. November 2, 2016.

Three Men in a Boat | ravenscroftcloud
https://ravenscroftcloud.wordpress.com/2015/08/16/three-men-in-a-boat
Challenges and Events 2015. Three Men in a Boat. August 16, 2015. There are some sentimental and historical passages which are a bit tedious, but fortunately, not many and not too long. Don’t look at the map too closely as it does contain spoilers. Not that there’s much to spoil, so maybe you won’t mind. Years ago I read the Connie Willis novel which references this, To Say Nothing of the Dog, and enjoyed it a lot. Maybe worth a reread now. 8216;s classics challenge. Stats, or What’s Up With That?

Challenges and Events 2015. Http:/ stuck-in-a-book.blogspot.com/2011/09/century-of-books.html. Because of them, I’ve downloaded Lord Jim for 1900, too, but we’ll see if I get through it. [I did, but learningtoloveliterature is no more. Probably shouldn’t have gone with Conrad.]. 1900: Lord Jim – Joseph Conrad. 1903: The Riddle of the Sands – Erskine Childers. 1906: The Man in Lower Ten – Mary Roberts Rinehart. 1907: The Mystery of the Yellow Room – Gaston Leroux. 8211; Dorothy L.

Challenges and Events 2015. Have been unable to sign up for 3 different challenges on Blogspot blogs that didn’t use Mr. Linky. My comments just are whooshed off into a mystical parallel universe never do be seen again. And there seems no way to notify these blog owners that I can’t contact them. I’ve tried with Chrome and with Firefox. You would think Chrome would work. Doesn’t Google own blogspot? It doesn’t work when signed in at Blogger either. Bah! The Warden – 5/13/14. The Small House at Allington.

Challenges and Events 2015. Monthly Archives: August 2015. Readers Imbibing Peril X. August 30, 2015. I think this is the third year I’ve imbibed peril along with many other readers out there. Previously hosted by Carl of Stainless Steel Droppings, this year we have Andi and Heather of The Estella Society to thank. I’m sure we are in good hands and that’s good because some of us may read something too scary. Info is here: The Estella Society. Http:/ www.abigaillarson.com/. No one should do this alone.

Challenges and Events 2015. Go Set a Watchman. August 2, 2015. Http:/ www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/27/sweet-home-alabama. Okay, spoilers galore now. Atticus, as you may have heard, has feet of clay. One feels this dramatically if you’ve admired him since reading TKAM. The epitome of what the Southern man could and should be: just, patient, loving, fair-minded, and unprejudiced. Ha! Mr and Mrs. North Continued.
