I am loving this book! From slightly sentient sourdough starter to zombie crayfish I cannot wait to see how Mona, the fourteen year old magiker, (only baking magic) fares in this fantastic fairytale.

DNF

I'm rereading some old romance books that I remembered liking long ago. The two I already read were okay....forgot what I read already. This one is just different enough that it's keeping me entertained.

I love that this picture shows the exact copy of the book that I own!

I was so surprised that this is a very boring book. I love Mel Brooks, at least I love his movies, and expected a little better quality of writing here. I will skip to the chapter about one of my favorites, "My Favorite Year," then send it back to the library. Thank the gods I didn't buy this one.

I started with just reading three stories...."The Colour out of Space, The Call of Cuthulu and The Silver Key." Those three were interesting in their way...the language and way Lovecraft writes is a little dense. I couldn't find a way to make the actual story flow better, but I really enjoyed "The Colour Out of Space." Will read more when I feel like working at them.

I forgot that I dislike this Dicken's book. Oh well, that's what age will do to you, everything is like new, reading for the first time. LOL! I won't waste any more time on this one.

Rereading this Medieval mess of a "historical romance." I see here I gave it five stars 24 years or so ago when I first read it. Wow, times have changed. I know it won't be getting that many starts this time. Already starting to bore me and the story hasn't really even started.

DNF I tried to like this book. It got great reviews, compared to Jane Austen's "Emma" but with a nicer protagonist. Sorry, I am bored to tears. I love all Austen's works, but this, almost 500 page endurance contest won. I will not be finishing this. I do not really care what happens to Miss Marjoribanks or anyone in the town of Carlingford.

I have a terrible memory, or I may have just lied....but I do not think I have ever read this before, and definitely not seven times!! I feel like this is my very first time discovering the wonder that is "The Lord of the Rings. My only regret is that I'm 65 years old and don't have enough years left to reread this piece of literary genius every year for another 65 years!!

Definitely finishing this today.....read until 3am this morning, it is that good!

Wow, I love this book....thanks Trish for the idea of travelogues.

Rereading "The Wonderling" by Mira Bartok. My tired brain and weary spirit in these dark, wintry and worrying days need the beautiful illustrations and gorgeously done story that resides within the pages of this middle grade fantasy book.

Put in DNF pile. Will finish later, maybe.

Bored....need to leave this for awhile and read a light, lyrical uplifting, great story right now. Time to reread "The Wonderling."
