good book for busy December...I like the haiku about the Frog Prince the best.

This was good, it was for bookckub or I'd never have picked it up. I enjoyed it but doubt I'm going to be a fan of this author.

This is well written & fast read. The hero isn't a stock hero but more a crime noir hero. I'd compare this hero to Walter Mosley's NYC based detective (who really isn't a detective).

This was very enjoyable and a quick armchair travel read. I was very impressed by the stamina & disciple of the traveler. Our bookckub got to meet the author & see the accompanying slide show which is full of lovely photos. My takeaways are: follow your dreams, expect goodness from people you meet, & be thankful for a comfy bed at the end of the day.

Not actually in hand yet but this is Sept bookclub book so I will need to be on the lookout.

I'm finished, I marked many passages for review & would have marked more but ran out of markers, now I need to re-read marked info & see if I get why I marked it.

still haven't looked at this book.Making new shelf, books I checked out & forgot about. sigh

totally forgot I rechecked this out & renewed it even. Have I opened it since bringing it home, why no I have not & it is due tomorrow. I think my strategy is going to have to be, go to the library & read whilst there because I'm forgetting them when I bring them home. thank goodness for due date email reminders.

finished part 1 & am into part 2, I had to get out my book clips for quotes in part 2, but maybe that was cuz I couldn't sleep & finally got out of bed at 330am to read, so what I found profound may just be lack of sleep. I probably need to re -read those parts again, sigh.

much easier time of it in the poem/play itself. I'm sure I can finish by tomorrow night now that I'm finished with the forwards.

had to turn in & haven't checked out again but will soon

made it thru the forward, now there is a 2nd forward by the interperter to tackle.

never even cracked it open, will have to check out again, sigh. Non-fiction will not defeat me, I'll just have to work on 1 book per month.

jumped around in this book, must turn in but I think it would be a great reference tool for a PA or anyone who writes letters for a living.

chapter 4 doesn't seem to end, since I keep re-reading bits.

start at ch 4, excellent so far, ch 3 mentions ford mustang, cabbage patch kids,& pillsbury bake off

have to return to the library today as there is a hold on it but Shout Out to Maria the phone librarian for putting me on the holds list again so I'm #2 in queue, wish I'd began reading this earlier than today but que sera. I'm in the historical context part of the book & yet still gleaned some good nuggets for thought.

Haven't started yet, because other non fictions jumped the line, blame ADD, ooh, a cousin is getting married, must look into current wedding prep equals squirrel

this poor book, I've neglected it so...I can't read it late at night because it is so packed with ideas, I'd never sleep, yet I don't drag it around as a read whilst waiting book because it is hardback. Such a calumity.

I don't know the true pg # but I think we've passed the century mark & are now in the 1900s. So interesting but densely written. Many concepts taken a as "of course, hasn't it always been thought of that way" are started by these curious & tenacious people. I'm in awe. And reading very slowly...a chapter every few days, trying to let the few pieces I grasp sink in.

Maybe, I've finally hit the wall when it comes to romances, I just didn't want to even start. I've read it before but have enjoyed rereading this series. Weird, maybe next year

Interestingly I have no interest in this book now, usually I can't wait to dive in... maybe next year.

Ectoplasm is the next chapter. Finally, something the ghostbusters knew about 1st hand. Well written but slow read vs Handbook of Poisen writen by same author

Who am I kidding, this will have to wait to 2013 or beyond, I've got too much to do to read this now.

G borrowed this book & I forgot to collect it on T-day.

Just browsed the photos, every photo looks yummy. Might be too advanced for my skills
