At least this is a step in the right direction! Triangle looks good--looking forward to hearing what you think about it. I love Dunant's mysteries, and I wish she would write more! Of course I loved the Winspear!

My list indicates that I own Grandmother and the Priests, but I didn't check the shelf. I usually put your initials if it's one I need to borrow from you. The title certainly grabs your attention on that one. It's always good to hear praises for a book on the TBR list. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Uh-oh, <B>Jenclair</B>. You're not supposed to be adding new books to your list, but reading some off your list! Actually, I'm sympathetic. I have more-than-many books on my TBR list that I picked up from you. Tehe!<BR/><BR/><B>Bellezza</B>, sometimes it does feel onerous, doesn't it? I am adding onerous to my vocabulary, so I'm trying to use it lots over the next few days. What a wonderful word, onerous! I'm glad you will be joining us. This is really just a perfect challenge, I think.<BR/><BR/><B>Emasl</B>, Thanks for the heads up about The Alchemist. My nephew highly recommended it to me. Other than that I have heard anything else about it until your comment. One thing I've noticed in its favor is that it is short. <BR/><BR/>Wonder why we can't click on your name when you comment and get to your site? That's strange. Is your blog Random Jottings of a Book and Opera Lover?<BR/><BR/>So happy you are going to join the challenge, <B>Lotus</B>. The Book Thief was a bit confusing the first 30 pages, but I'm falling in love with it.<BR/><BR/>Oh my, <B>Mizbooks</B>. I had set your challenge aside somewhere in the corner of my mind because it wasn't going to start until Jan. I suggest you don't cancel. With the exception of Jan. the challenges don't overlap. I would be interested in doing both. I think most readers need encouragement to read from our stacks or to reduce our TBR lists.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1162736276742604112006-11-05T07:17:00.000-07:002006-11-05T07:17:00.000-07:00How interesting!

I shall have to nip across and look at it.<BR/><BR/>At the risk of immediate response telling me I am totally wrong, could I please recommend that you take The Alchemist off your TBR pile and heave it in the TBCO (to be chucked out) box instead??
