Hello again on Saturday night and Welcome to SBB, Sharing Beyond Books.
School is out so is anyone enjoying a vacation yet? My grandkids are still busy with baseball championships etc. I am still (always) avoiding the sun.
Thank you to all who shared last week.
Only two of us (
miki and
Diamond) buy more than one version for covers although
Gwen plans to. :-). However --
nrlymrtl will get the audio for her DH, which I completely understand and I do that too when I can get my DH to listen. Several mentioned that they wait for several releases then buy the 'prettiest' cover. I never even considered that. And another handful of us do like to collect the full series for authors/series we love.
The only 'unusual pet' mentioned more than once was a chinchilla. Chickens (not on farm) and other birds were mentioned, including
Di's grackle.
Nikki mentioned fish and I had to look up "climbing perch." Again I was a little surprised at the handful of people who had no pets.

WEEK #104 Questions
Q1. nrlymrtl asks: What is the oddest nonfiction book(s) you have ever read - like on on the feelings of plants or the theory of health benefits from gut parasites??
A: Does reading the Dictionary and Encylopedia count? I did that back when I was about 13 and 14. Other than that I would say The Bible Cure Book or Collecting Antiques.
Q2. My non-bookish Question this week: Do you like puzzles and if so which is your favorite: jigsaw, Sudoku, crossword, word search, logic, maze, other??
A: I really enjoy all sorts of puzzles - except Sudoku which my DH likes. As a kid I loved the hidden object pictures in Highlights Magazine. Then I used to do word puzzles in Reader's Digest. My sister and I both liked getting puzzle magazines to work on and I used to save the logic ones so I could do them again years later. I also love jigsaw puzzles although those mostly got put away when children came along. Now I have children sized ones I encourage my grandkids to play with!
Thanks to those who are sending in Questions.
DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this
Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions.
Thanks for sending in questions! We can always use fresh questions. I do have a group of questions from the same submitters so if you have a question don't be afraid to ask!
