A Book Title Game
Oh no.... How could I forget....The Civil War, Vol. 1: Fort Sumter to Perryville
Haven't read it but was persuaded to watch Shelby Foote's comprehensive history.
Loved the music!
Hi my phoneline's been dead for a week so am catching up. Aren't 272 and 286 the same? Is this OK or do we have to suggest new books?

OK thanks. Wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been flicking through! :)

What did you think of Little Women Leslie? I have it on my ipad waiting to be read.
//white//One hundred shades of white. By Preethi Nair
(read in 2009)
@Alannah - It so hard for me to judge what you might think about it as I have read it multiple times starting in childhood. Parts of the writing are a bit sanctimonious I guess, but fitting for the characters & time (clergyman's family during the American Civil War - which is Alcott's background also).
/white/White Teeth by Zadie Smith (read a few years ago, got bored by it at the end - have started other books by her and don't like them, she's not an author for me!)

This is a great game and is helping me practise how to link stuff!"
Jean, I think you might have forgotten to go to the most recent posts... or maybe it is my browser, but I can't see what you are playing off of.
Playing off #337:

//love//Galileo's Daughter, A Drama of Science, Faith and Love
read a couple of years ago - made a huge impression
I love this game! Gives me a chance to practise making links (which I sorely need) and have a bit of fun while doing so.
//Love//Love Among the Ruins by Angela Thirkell (read May 2013)
@Jean - glad you are enjoying it :)
@Alannah & Charbel - Murder on Orient Express is definitely worth reading!
