I love checking in on Goodreads! I almost always add more books to my tbr pile. The other great thing about Goodreads and this group is being introduced to so many great books. Some of them I would never had picked up with recommendations for y'all. So thank you to all for sharing here on the WTM boards and Goodreads. It's great having friends that actually post on goodreads. So many of my IRL friends signed up, but they don't ever use it.

Thanks for sharing your list, it looks great!

I'm not sure that everyone will get this deal, but this morning I found a Groupon deal for Amazon Unlimited. It was $0 for a 2 month subscription. What is good about this particular deal is that you can use it even if you already have Amazon Unlimited. It simply extends your subscription. I hope someone finds this useful :)

I read the first three Brother Cadfael mysteries, but I think I'm going to try the fourth one as an audiobook. Does the audio version work well for this book? If you are looking for votes, I vote for more Royal Spyness Books ;) This week I read: Childhood's End - An interesting take on the arrival of extra terrastrial and what it means for humanity A Quiet Life in the Country - I only gave this book 2 stars, but I plan to read the next book in the series. I was listening to this one as a audiobook, and I kept getting interrupted and I had to go back over and over. Deceptive Clarity - This is a first in a new to me, mystery series. I thought that this was a good book, but there were a couple of points at the end of the story that didn't make sense. Murder in the Mulberry Bend - This is the fifth book in the gaslight mystery series. I really enjoyed this book, as well as the four that came before. This story takes place in the slums of New York during the beginning of the nineteenth century. The series highlights how bad life could be in the slums and often contrasts it to the life of the wealthy. It sounds dark, but I really enjoy this series. In other news, it looks like Alan Bradley has another Flavia de Luce book coming out this year. Amazon didn't have any record of it, but Goodreads said it is coming out in September. It's called The Grave's a Fine and Private Place. I'm excited for this one to come out.

I love the Bingo card and this list. I've already tried a number of books that I never would have read otherwise. I also have a number of books that I can't believe I haven't read that I would like to read this year.

I think this is the link to my Goodreads page. I'm Theresa on Goodreads. If it doesn't work you can let me know, and I can try, try again :)

I forgot to post my reading last week, so I have two weeks worth of books to report on. First I read "Murder on the Orient Express." It is a great mystery, and I can't believe it took me this long to read it. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries. Then I read "Mayhem on the Orient Express." If you haven't read "Murder on the Orient Express," I think one could still enjoy this book. You would simply miss out on some of the references. I think I will try at least one more in this series, "The Man in the Queue" was my first Josephine Tey book. It was good, but based on a lot of other people's reviews it sounds like her other books may be even better. Last week I read "Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon." It is the fourth book in the Meg Langslow series. I have enjoyed all four books that I've read. I also read, "No Wind of Blame" by Georgette Heyer. This is one of her mystery titles. I enjoyed the book, but I think I will wait awhile until I read the next in the series. It doesn't seem like her murder mystery books need to be read in a certain order. I read my fifth book in the Royal Spyness series, "Naughty in Nice." Like all the others, I really love it. I really enjoy the narrator on the audio book. I would definitely read this series in order. The development of the characters builds in each book. Lastly, I read "Sleeping Giants." I gave this book three stars, but I felt that the writing in the book was missing something. Based on Robin's review, I ordered "The Bear and the Nightingale" from my library. I'm now first on the waiting list, and I'm excited to try it. Matryoshka, thanks for the positive review of the book!

Thanks for all the help! It was nice to see the explations. I think I have a handle on the problem now. Thanks, AllSmiles

Regentrude, Thanks for the help. I can follow the reasoning of the solution you gave. Unfortunely, the problem can only be solved using one variable.

I have a word problem that has me stumped. I'm having trouble even understanding the question. I'm sure I'm just missing something easy, but I was hoping someone could help. This problem needs to be solved using only one variable. Leslie has 20 quarters and dimes. If she had as many dimes as she has quarters and as many quarters as dimes, she would have 30 cents less. How many of each coin does she have. The answer: 11 quarters and 9 dimes Thanks for you help! AllSmiles

Hope your mouth starts feeling better soon. No fun!

I remember when my daughter first got her braces on. This year she finally got them off, and that was a much happier milestone. I hope is appointment goes as well as possible.

Based on people responding it sounds like the first is definitely the best. I might eventually read a few more, but I think I'll put them at the bottom of the tbr pile for now.

Oh, Bummer! I thought this book sounded interesting, but I was hoping to see some positive reviews on here.

I really loved the Amelia Peabody books. I'm pretty enamored with all things Ancient Egypt though. I think there was one or two books that didn't quite catch my fancy. I never listened to the books on audio though. Just a plug for keeping this series as an option in the future.
