All that thinking made my head hurt so I'm going to go read a book to soothe it. Maybe I will be hit with inspiration in the next day or so.Framedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703547279309902320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-3402004727564113972007-06-12T13:09:00.000-06:002007-06-12T13:09:00.000-06:00Cardine, Loved Number the Stars.

Thanks for the encouragement.<BR/><BR/><BR/><B>Stephanie</B>, yay! Someone to share the shame of not reading Anne yet. You're probably smart to wait on your list.

The Anne books are comfort reads for me. <BR/><BR/>I started reading John Dunning's series when the first one was published and continue to gobble up each new offering. Seems like the first one is more "film noir" than the rest, but it has been a long time since I read it. I always learn something about books from this series.<BR/><BR/>While I remember loving All-of-a-Kind Family when I was young, I really don't remember much. Maybe it is time I re-visit this one.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-91666536078951269092007-06-12T06:09:00.000-06:002007-06-12T06:09:00.000-06:00I really enjoyed reading this post.

Considering I never heard her talk about being in it, I imagine it is a new thing. I will be interested to hear all about it! She was just an acquaintance because she is a couple years behind and in a different major, but I want to go see it just because I sort of know her. :) Totally rambling, but in any case, great list of books! I think all this challenge is doing is adding to my tbr pile, maybe I will have to join last minute and return the favour to everyone!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-68936541625667856612007-06-11T19:53:00.000-06:002007-06-11T19:53:00.000-06:00Sounds like a fun challenge.
