Friday 5, books, books, books....


I've just returned from a meeting in Cambridge so I'm posting this late here in the UK (it is 3:45pm).. because I took the opportunity of a free afternoon in Cambridge's wonderful book shops... I only bought a few- and they were on sale- very restrained for me!!!


So with my head full of books I've seen and a long wish list in my mind, I bring you a Friday Five on books!!!


1. Fiction what kind, detective novels, historical stuff, thrillers, romance????


2. When you get a really good book do you read it all in one chunk or savour it slowly?


3. Is there a book you keep returning to and why?


4. Apart from the Bible which non-fiction book has influenced you the most?


5. Describe a perfect place to read. ( could be anywhere!!!)

As always, let us know in comments if you play. Even better, get in the habit of posting a direct link to your blog entry in your comment, using the following formulation:
<a href="the url of your blog post goes here">what you want the link to say goes here</a>

    Great minds running in the same track again. I just posted a book review
    The Testament of Gideon Mack.
    And it's by a UK author!

    Both loyal RGBP gals Mary Beth and Cathy tried to get to the Friday Five before our 2nd meetup this week, but sigh... we had to meet teh Clooney at our personal private beach to do our toes - and guess what --- he took a picture of our toeshere.
    (you might note I had to turn the picture upside down to make it look like WE TOOK IT).
    Best lookin' toes for miles around... we ain't had time to post about no books...yet.

    Something must be in the air. As I tucked my oldest (Crash Kid) into bed tonight, he mused that he hated being caught with spare time and no book to read. I told him that I just wrote about this, and how I'd been caught in the ER with him and NO book.
