Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twentyfive, thirty, thirty-five..."
Oh please ring, ring, ring ? Ring ? It

Thanks for posting a story Smiley (and I read the chat from last week - fun chat in the midst of a slight technical interruption).
I will not be able to join you Saturday - I am attending an 'ABBA' concert thing (oh Mama Mia!).
Hopefully you are willing to host again (thank you so much) and I will be back for a 2-12 chat.

Following is a post made originally on 08/08/2010:
When we decided to postpone our scheduled chat last night due to low attendance, several of us remained and just chatted. When I asked the question "Has anyone read any good novels recently?" we ended up talking for 1.5 hours ! What fun it was. I have summarized some of the recent (and all time) favorites/recommendations below. Feel free to add to this thread anytime !
Stormy, Susan and I have enjoyed Ken Follett
