I'm reading number 10 right now! I won it from a giveaway. "
Comment #4: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 17:51:10
I know, you won it from me. I hope you're enjoying it. :)"
Comment #5: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 18:24:35
I know the song, of course, but I never knew there was a book about that old lady."
Comment #6: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 17:53:30
I hadn't realized there were book versions either until my son received the book as a Christmas gift last year."
Comment #9: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 18:38:23
I haven't read a one of these. Very well done (I like how you put this together with graphics). Have a great TT. :)"

I was laughing even before I saw your comment! You rock, woman!
By, the way you have excellent Taste in your choice of letters this week... as I'm sure you know. "
Comment #12: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 18:00:21
I'm glad you enjoyed my little joke. T is for Trevor? Picking T was purely random."
Comment #13: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 20:21:43
I haven't read Bach in years. I'll have to catch up with this one and reacquaint myself. Thanks for highlighting it this week."
Comment #15: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 21:45:49
You read too much ;)

Believe it or not, I have friends who read more than I do. "
Comment #17: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 21:29:54
You've got a list of interesting books--broad range, too!"
Comment #18: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 20:21:00
Thank you! I hope you've found a few books to try."
Comment #19: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 23:07:43
Can't say I've read any of these. Great list though. Happy T13!"
Comment #20: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 20:30:22
There are a number of good children's book on my list this week. I don't know the ages of your four but maybe there is something one of them might like. Happy reading!"
Comment #22: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 20:32:49
I read that book with my son once a day for the three weeks we had it from the library."
Comment #23: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 23:39:53
Best title of the day award goes to "Teach Like Your Hair's On Fire". Great list!
This week is my Thursday Thirteen #78. It is unthemed but I think it is still good. 13 things I might get with my incentive check Stop by if you get a chance."

As always, what a great job! I'm amazed at the collection of title and the way you put it together - very cool. You have such a wide interest!
How's hubby grad school? We're at comps here."
Comment #26: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 21:35:48
I read pretty much every thing, though some genres more frequently than others.
Grad school is grinding along. He's in the thesis writing stage now and then the post-doc or job search stage."
Comment #27: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 00:19:20
Tom Sawyer Detective? I didn't realize there were any other TS books! I keep thinking I might have to try Track of the Cat too, I seem to look at it a lot, I'll probably give in one of these days! ;)"
Comment #28: Wednesday, April, 30, 2008 at 21:40:40
Tom Sawyer Detective is the fourth and final book in the Tom and Huck series. The books in order are: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Tom Sawyer Abroad (1884), Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896).
I don't have Track of the Cat any longer but I do have the second in the series, A Superior Death. Let me know if you want me to RABCK it to you."
Comment #29: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 02:45:25
For some reason I really like the cover of "Tall." Perhaps it's because I'm short... Either that or the animals are cute.
Yeah. Going with the latter.
Happy TT!"

I am currently reading to my daughter the Rosa Parks book I got from the mail yesterday. Thank you very much!! I had a hard time explaining about racial discrimination to a 4 year old though!! "
Comment #33: Thursday, April, 3, 2008 at 00:23:33
Diary of a Worm instantly caught my attention. Wonder what that says about me..."
Comment #34: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 05:45:07
I've always loved to dream about time travel. How wonderful it would be..."
Comment #35: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 11:21:18
I've only read a few of them. But the ones I have read, I enjoyed. Happy TT!"
Comment #36: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 12:46:49
Good Job, my TT is at 13 Secret Muslim Tee-Shirt Slogans"
Comment #37: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 12:52:47
I love Richard Bach's books!!! The others aren't familiar but look intriguing ;--) Hugs and blessings, "
Comment #39: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 13:21:54
I've read the first one, but that's all. Another eclectic list!"
Comment #41: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 15:12:12
can't believe I came across "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly". I was just thinking about the song a few weeks ago (for reasons I won't go into).
Thanks for the second dose of nostalgia. :)
Happy TT

Were you the one who posted about getting a green fly in the teeth?"
Comment #43: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 17:03:11
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly always makes me laugh. I can hear the words running through my head now..."
Comment #44: Thursday, May, 1, 2008 at 22:32:27
I had forgotten about a few of those great books. Thanks for the reminder. Happy TT."
Comment #46: Sunday, May, 4, 2008 at 12:26:00
I hadn't thought of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed" in years. I remember the song from grade school. Thanks for visiting my T13."
