My cats: My tuxedo boy, Io, is 6 years old. I adopted him from the local Humane Society when he was just over 1 year. He was brought in with another cat; they were found in the parking lot of a bar - complete with litter box, so they had obviously been dumped. Poor little guys... Anyway, Io is a very friendly kitty - not overly cuddly, but will... more »

    When you get to MirrorMask, let me know what you think. It's a very short graphic novel. The characters are shallow and simple, but the story is still very fun and, as always, incredibly creative.

    Hi Cindy. I already have The Tenderness of Wolves, so we can go ahead with it whenever you'd like. I could read it in Dec if that works for you. I'm going to read The Secret Bride for the Tudor group, but I don't expect it will be a difficult read (meaning I'll get through it quickly).

    I was also thinking about the possibility of another group read. We can talk offline about how to go about it, and when to go about it. I think we should have a few interested members (other than the two of us that is).

    Hi, got your message, and the idea sounds intriguing. But right now, I have to focus on school. Maybe after school is out.

    Io and Angel are very handsome boys. I don't have any tuxedo cats; my only black and white is called a cowcat on Wikipedia. For some reason we have an over abundance of pale orange/tawny colored cats. My hubby keeps bringing them home. I haven't picked out a cat since we've been married. Come to think of it, my cats were always strays and they picked me out!!!

    Thank you! Yes, he is a boy and his name is Shooter. He is the sweetest, funniest and most cuddly cat I've ever known. I love him:) I also have a black female cat named Socrates, who is very sweet as well. They are like my kiddos! Your cats are beautiful, too! The one on the right looks like my Socrates:)

    Our book group is reading "Rebecca" for December's discussion. I haven't read it since the mid 1960s. I just picked it up from the library last night. I wonder how it will be different this time around...

    They are most certainly separate books. 1001 Nights...I'm not sure where it falls. I'd have to look at the publication dates to be sure. I actually read it before any of the others, and loved it without having all of the back story, so I think it's safe to read at any time. It happens during the time when Snow White is trying to develop a friendship with the eastern fables community.

    Surprisingly he wasn't too mad. He looked at me funny, and was reluctant to walk up to me at first, but once he realized that it was really me, he was happy to see me. It was a nice change to being ignored for a couple of days. Apparently he was acting up the whole time I was gone.

    I wouldn't hold my breath about the one book thing for Fables. The trend in trades is that once the series is done, or has been around for a while, they start republishing the volumes as collectible editions. If they are consolidated into large books, they are usually quite expensive. As with the Sandman comics. They consolidated them into four (I think) large tomes, essentially, but they are 100 dollars each. Definitely easier, and likely cheaper to buy them a few at a time until you're caught up, if you want to buy them at all. I find it a worthwhile investment.

    Yeah, I know what you mean about Fables, but since it's still being written, they put out a new volume (aka trade paperback) every six months. When I started buying them, I just bought three or four at a time from Amazon. It was pretty cheap, and would usually qualify for free shipping. I find it's worth owning them because I like to re-read books, and this is a great series. After a while I tend to forget details, so it's great to be able to go back and remind myself. I know you don't tend to buy books though. I'm just a bit of a book freak, I love owning them. They look so pretty on my shelf, and I fantasize about having my own library.

    Saw the dress. It's fantastic! I'm totally jealous. Glad you had a good shopping day. I know it's not your favorite pastime ;-).

    I live on Cape Cod, a peninsula (or man made island due to the canal) of sand dunes that juts out into the ocean off the coast of Massachusetts. My avatar depicts our local harvest of cranberries which is happening now. The region is a cornucopia of flora and fauna, speckled with kettle ponds left over from the ice age, verdant marshes (though they're gold right now), estuaries teeming with wildlife, and vast white sandy beaches. It is one of the most beautiful places I know.

    Hahah me too! But that one was just sitting right at the top of you profile page, and the title was so interesting I didn't even need to read the blurb.

    I like reading two books at once, one fiction and the other non. It helps me keep things in perspective, heavy thought mixed with light imagination. I read where you've recently holidayed (is that a word?) in the Northeast. Wasn't that sad about the young woman hiking in Cape Breton killed by coyotes? Wild lands aren't they?

    Hi Cindy. I was starting to wonder when you were going to send out the pics..... Just kidding. I'm looking forward to seeing them. I like your current avatar pic - isn't PEI beautiful?

    Re: books on the group shelf. I know of a few instances in the various groups I'm in where the books on the shelves don't match the objective of the group. Sometimes I think people just inadvertently add books to groups shelfs, and other times I think people just don't care. Can we remove the book? Maybe the person who put it there thinks Gaiman is a Canuck? I admit I'm not even sure how to add books to the group shelf anymore! Although I'm sure I could figure it out if I really tried.

    I think you'd like the book The Day the Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan. It's set in NIagara Falls at the time of WWI and immediately after. It's one of the few Canadian books I've read this year.... I am slated to read Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje for my Dec book club meeting though.
