Thanks guys! You're all way nice! Poppy, that bear's stance is me to a tee. My nose is always straight up - good one, thanks.:) DS, you have me mixed up with some other bren because I've never in my life read a *fantasy* novel. Well, unless you count His Dark Materials or Harry Potter - do...

Are they old enough for chapters? Roald Dahl's BFG is a really fun book - the giant must be read in a goofy voice, sort of like that dog in the Warner Bros. cartoons - "which WAY did he GO," etc. The dreams are especially piquant when read this way. Actually, some of the dreams are masterpieces...

I've had librarything for a couple months - not noticed it had to be paid after 200 books! What a shock I'd have been in for at the end of, say, a year and a half when I hit the two hundred mark and wham! No more entries. Guess I need to check out listal too, sigh. Thank heaven for an...

appliances, tinker with all

traipse along with them

-softcover/hardcover - don't care -black ink for personal use; pencil or fine point black sharpie for work -staple/paper clip - each has its own proper use, staples being obviously more permanent -book in hand -shelving is preferred, but I've a stack at my bedside that waxes and wanes from...

'Agnieszka?' asks Martyn. Too short!!! From Fay Weldon's She May Not Leave.
