I just bought two new mysteries and when I was reading the covers discovered that they both have to do with murders in cemeteries.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1148275980919246272006-05-21T23:33:00.000-06:002006-05-21T23:33:00.000-06:00I'm stuck on young adult books.

I like them, and I keep getting them as presents (not complaining), so I always have some I haven't read.Cardinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260768171568324499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1148244626310518032006-05-21T14:50:00.000-06:002006-05-21T14:50:00.000-06:00There's that Mt.

I just thought I got on weird tangents like Alaskan mysteries and Early American biographies. Thanks, Alyson, for pointing out Gathering Blue. I need a yellow. Right now my theme is other people's reading lists. It's a great resource.Framedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703547279309902320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1148233988450212432006-05-21T11:53:00.000-06:002006-05-21T11:53:00.000-06:00Yes, countries.

Wouldn't it be interesting to read stories that were taking place in different parts of the world during the same time period? When I read <I>Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China</I> I kept relating what I knew of my grandmother, mother and my own lifetimes because they parralled the women's in the book.<BR/><BR/>It just seems that however you do it, reading is a great pastime. I need to stop speding so much time playing computer games and get back to reading. The or fifteen minutes a day of reading makes it hard to even tie the storyline together, let alone make much progress in Mt. TBR.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1148219558124420602006-05-21T07:52:00.000-06:002006-05-21T07:52:00.000-06:00I love the idea of reading themes and like you, I ...I love the idea of reading themes and like you, I have done it several times without being aware of it! I like "countries" or even "cities and towns" as a reading theme. I think I could do that fairly easily. The 7 books in 7 days would be a real challenge! :) Thanks so much for giving me something to think about!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1148214020736874382006-05-21T06:20:00.000-06:002006-05-21T06:20:00.000-06:00Interesting, I think I'd like the challenge of the...Interesting, I think I'd like the challenge of the 100X100 and the A-Z.<BR/><BR/>Framed, you also have <I>Gathering Blue</I> on your list.Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044394341877375419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1148154660729294902006-05-20T13:51:00.000-06:002006-05-20T13:51:00.000-06:00Great site.

I really liked the colors theme. Maybe that's because I am planning on reading "Girl in Hyacinth Blue" and "The Red Tent" in the next month. But the two you wrote in sound good also.Framedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703547279309902320noreply@blogger.com
