The questions are fun, and your answers are just great.<br /><br />I think my book dislikes are quite similar. (I spent the weekend reading two mysteries, one by Jo Nesbo, which was good, but a bit too graphic in the violence and a serial killer, to boot, not my theme of choice). And with the demanding Dachshund who wore me out. I'm still trying to figure out how an 18-pound dog can wear out and wear down an adult.<br /><br />I love the cartoon. If I can figure out how to copy it, I'll send id on. And the graphic is so true, a book and a dog, preferably a nondemanding one.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-33765060308372575892011-05-23T21:37:54.916-04:002011-05-23T21:37:54.916-04:00Kristi: Thanks for dropping by!

Can't wait.<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. It's never too late to discover a classic. <br />I'm looking forward to the week at virtual BEA. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-33927181034759962082011-05-23T21:30:06.876-04:002011-05-23T21:30:06.876-04:00Hi Yvette - Happy birthday to your granddaughter! ...Hi Yvette - Happy birthday to your granddaughter!

It was lots of fun, but boy, I was exhausted by the time the day was over. LONG day. Don't think I could manage it now, though. Those days have come and gone. :)<br /><br />But I did enjoy picking up free books.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-58927414694500076892011-05-23T19:18:01.023-04:002011-05-23T19:18:01.023-04:00Yvette, I'll be at BEA this week - partly repr...Yvette, I'll be at BEA this week - partly representing my wife, the school librarian with the busted knee. This year, it's sharing the Javits Center with BlogWorld, which is always fun. And on Friday, there's a Book Blogger Convention tacked onto the end of BEA. Should be an interesting week! But I like the idea of Armchair BEA as well - no reason why online participation can't be available for those who can't make it physically!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-37408966189035551482011-05-23T18:09:48.521-04:002011-05-23T18:09:48.521-04:00Davo: Thanks for visiting.

The funny thing is that as soon as I wrote that I realized that I'd be reviewing a YA book today. Life is full of contradictions. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-35113975807910830942011-05-23T18:07:53.919-04:002011-05-23T18:07:53.919-04:00Col: Thanks so much for dropping by.

I LOVED this challenge. It was SO EASY! Speaking of Ngaio Marsh, I did a Marsh reading binge last year and read tons of her books. I hope you're going to love them as much as I do. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-64705204818041609892011-05-23T16:55:52.919-04:002011-05-23T16:55:52.919-04:00Of a certain age, I wish I could put that in on on...Of a certain age, I wish I could put that in on online stupid forms, .... and please, I confess my ignorance, but what is..
