Can you believe it is Saturday night again and Summer has started?! <
Thank you to all who shared last week.
What a fun variety of 'odd' titles we have read. I think many weren't so much odd as different. Some were informative, like antiques, gardening, training puppies. On the truly odd side I think Llehn's book on astral projection fits.
All but two or three of us do like puzzles. It seems most like word puzzles and a few don't like jigsaw. Holly likes the Tetris and jeweled type games and nrlymrtl likes the really big - 10,000 - piece jigsaw puzzles!

WEEK #105 Questions
Q1. Becky asks: How many books in a month do you tend to read??
A: I seem to comfortably read four a week so 16 to 18 a month. I have read over 20 but some had to be short and audios help to increase the number. I find it hard to review more than four a week anyway. :-).
Q2. My non-bookish Question this week: What game(s) do you remember from childhood??
A: The two games that pop into my mind are the board game The Mouse Trap which our family had great fun with and Twister which we enjoyed as teens!

I tend to read about 12 books a month.
ReplyDeleteI remember day-long marathon games of Monopoly with my siblings. And when I was a teen, the marathon games were Risk.
This is a very nice giveaway to do on each Saturday. I follow you on twitter in case you are wondering.
ReplyDeleteQ1. Becky asks: How many books in a month do you tend to read??
I tend to read about 6-10 books in a month with most of them being historical romance. I'm a picky person when it comes to my historical romance books for some reason.
Q2. My non-bookish Question this week: What game(s) do you remember from childhood??
The games I remember from my childhood would be the Chinese jump rope, playing mommy and daddy, and tag. I don't know if these counts but hopefully they do.
Q1: Depending on my work load determines how many books a get read in a month. If I am working some long hours I am lucky to get at least 4 read in a month but otherwise I can get at least somewhere between 8 to 12 read in a month.
ReplyDeleteQ2: I remember playing playing Checkers, Backgammon, Old Maid, Connect Four, Sorry, Yahtzee, Risk, Horseshoes, Badminton, Clue, Operation, and Chinese Checkers. I also remember playing a lot of card games with my brothers and sometimes my mother too, like Uno, Go Fish, War, and Crazy eights to name a few. I remember we played a lot of games when I was growing up.
I'm a slow reader; probably between 4-8 a month.
ReplyDeleteCards; hopscotch, tag.

1. Depending on their length I'd say between 8 and 10 each month, though I've been know to read more too (but that usually included smaller volumes and no 1.000+ pages tomes).
ReplyDelete2. Parcheesi! Funny, I haven't thought about this game in a long time (translation: I'm old).
1. If I'm lucky one per month.
ReplyDelete2. Monopoly :D
Congrats to the winner.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot since my 7 kids have left the nest :) I average around 22-24 books a month f they are paperbacks.
When I grew up in the 50's we played outside most of the time. But when we did play inside I remember Monopoly being the game in our family.

1. I read about ten to twenty books per month...usually more in the summer, since I read at the beach and pool. :)
ReplyDelete2. I loved playing Monopoly with my siblings.
I usually read 1-3 eyeball books a month and then 4-8 audiobooks a month. In the winter, I read more because there are less outside farm chores, replaced by lots of menial tasks that require an audiobook to bearable.
ReplyDeleteWe played Yatzee a lot as a family.
1. My reading really depends on the month. Sometimes only 5, other times 15.
ReplyDelete2. Games I remember from my childhood are Hungry, Hungry Hippo, Hi-Ho Cherrio, Ups and Downs (a much cooler version of Chutes and Ladders), and Go Fish.
1. 12 books a month, it felt like more but I tend to read a lot that have 350-400 pages.
ReplyDelete2. Hopscotch! My neighbor against the street taught me.
1) I usually read two a week so around 8 a month.
ReplyDelete2) My family never had a lot of games. I remember things like hopscotch (something most kids I know don't know the rules to) and then the Nintendo games.
1. Depends on my college schedule. but on an average during college days I am able to read only 2 books a month while during holidays if we don't have holiday plans the number rises to 5-6 books a month. I am at times a slow reader.
ReplyDelete2. Carrom, snake and ladder, Ludo, super mario on video games and hopscotch, Skipping rope competitions among friends. Only these are striking my mind right now.
1: About 10, it depends on how busy my schedule is. When its very busy, I tend no watch T.V. more than read.
ReplyDelete2: The games I remember playing most with my parents are Trouble and Sorry. :)
1. It depends on the time of year - summers are so busy with my son's baseball that I don't read more than 1 or 2 a week. Winter I read a lot more especially mysteries.
ReplyDelete2. We used to play parcheezi and sorry with my grandparents growing up.
1. I read 4-6 books a month.

ReplyDeleteQ1. How many books in a month do you tend to read?? Sadly, I only read about 4-8 a month, depending on the length, audio, etc. I work part-time but am getting full-time hours now, so not nearly as much time to read as before.
Q2. What game(s) do you remember from childhood?? We loved playing Don't Wake Daddy! And Mousetrap. :)
a few a month
