Serenity, sorry I missed your comment in Thread 1...

I'm reading the Omnibus edition, Young Miles, which contains both these books. They were originally published separately, though, and about 400 pages each. Can I tag the omnibus edition but still count them as two separate books?

Not good news, however, I would have to say no, Serenity, sorry! I've seen this question popped up in other challenges and I think I'd keep this uniform :)

Question...I thought we were rolling only ONE die? Or are we allowed to roll a pair of dice?

I ask because then, there's no way we can roll an 8 like the example in the fist post. :)

I am re-posting, rolling 1 die

oops, sorry, typo - I must have meant a 5 (it's just under 8) :p

Thanks, D.G. , I've amended it!!

Oh, and thank you, D.G. for pointing out the 1 vs. 2 die issue. :-)

Oh, Kazza...I was looking for 2 since I have not yet moved....but I will take the 6....and let you know when I am through these big books I choose!

I think I mentioned somewhere in the Official Rules that I will note your latest post to be your current position on the ladder to save later confusion. Just post your review and I will know that you've finished the book. In any case, we're on an honesty system that I'd believe you'd follow the rules regardless ;) So I'd assume that if you'd started reading the second book, you'd have finished the first :)

Thanks for the clarification. I've reserved the non-omnibus versions at the library instead, so I'll be reading the two books separately (literally).

Present square: 7

Book: The Perfect Hamburger and Other Delicious Stories by Alexander McCall Smith.

I wasn't happy to roll a 1, but it did give me a perfect excuse to get to that Alexander McCall Smith short story book I wanted to read but probably never would have gotten around to otherwise. I've never read any of his books for children, so I'm interested to see how it is.

Book: Books can be deceiving

I'm scared to death of that poetry shelf!

Those of you on (or afraid of) the poetry shelf might want to consider Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things if you like his other work. It has some poems, but mostly short stories. And 49 people besides me have it shelved as poetry.

My library has The Prophet on audio, which I've never read and I'm interested in reading. But the print version is around 130 pgs. so I'm interested to know if there's a min. page count.

when it doubt go shakespeare for poetry...lol!

Have fun at the beach! We've got a wind chill advisory for the weekend here, so that's something...
