It would be awesome if you would read it as well, BT :D. I will definitely pick it up for the bingo. It is time for a reread.

And thanks, Themis, for putting it on all the lists :)

Since I know a lot of us review books from netgalley or edeweiss I am wondering is it okay to read a review book that you won't actually review for a while since it doesn't come out till next year but that you want to get it read and a review put up for later so you don't forget to do it. :) I have a book that will fit the zombie space but it don't come out till April 2018. Will probably read it anyway as I want to but thought if it fit a space, two birds one stone. :)

Murder, She Reads - for this game, reviews aren't "required" in order to claim a space. You do need some way to keep track of the books that you've completed for the purposes of bingo, & I am asking that everyone include a sentence that explains how the book fits the square.

I personally wanted an interpretative dance about how the book fit the square but Moonlight overruled me.

Okay, that sounds cool. I don't mind explaining how it fits the square. I am kind of glad you were overruled by Moonlight on the dance...you would not want to see me dance...lol. :)

And may I just say, ohthankgod. Like Murder, She Reads said, nobody wants to see me dance - interpretively or not.

I noticed 'The Winter Sea' in the magical realism list. Would any other Susanna Kearsley book be considered magical realism as well? I've been interested in Kearsley ever since I read one of her books (The Shadowy Horses) for BLopoly and would like to read more.

Just in case the Amy Tan book I have lined up doesn't pan out--as I said, there's got to be a reason why I didn't finish reading it the first time I started it years ago.

Not all of Susana Kearsley books fits magical realism. She also writes historical fiction. I would check the tags on GR or even Amazon to be safe :-)

I can't remember off the top of my head which are magical realism.

"I personally wanted an interpretative dance about how the book fit the square but Moonlight overruled me."

Hahaha! Voice of reason, right here. I regret nothing.

The title is Gulp? Sorry I just found a book about the alimentary canal?

#138 by: Kaethe date: 8 years ago discussions stats

I've read Gulp. Parts of it are horrifying indeed. The Death of Elvis-unspeakable

#139 by: Murder by Death date: 8 years ago discussions stats

Yep! That's the right book! Just the words "fecal transplant" are enough to fill me with horror.

If we had a Creepy Crawlies square this year, I'd take it.

#141 by: Abandoned by Booklikes date: 8 years ago discussions stats

Yikes. Okay it should count for something I'm sure depending on the square.
