Maybe my own yard needs one tucked into the woods like a surprise. ;-) Oh, and I loved Eucalyptus when I read it.

I like your approach to the reading suggestions! I really have no expectation of making it through the entire 24 hours, so my own reading plans aren't all that ambitious :-).<br /><br />I'm posting a review of <i>Goldengrove</i> this week.Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-45333743007194570662009-10-11T14:57:40.244-03:002009-10-11T14:57:40.244-03:00Alice: I really liked Garden Spells, so I am looki...Alice: I really liked Garden Spells, so I am looking forward to this one!<br /><br />Meghan: A useful list, huh? I am glad to hear my strange categories were actually useful! I will have to think about the Giller awards in more detail.<br /><br />Jen: Maus would be a good choice!<br /><br />Amanda: Glad to hear it! I ran out of renewals, so I really need to get to it!<br /><br />Karen: Her NB book looks good, too. I plan to read it one day.<br /><br />Shanra: Glad you like the read-a-thon suggestions! I actually think I know what you mean about The Sugar Queen. I haven't rushed to read it either, despite being excited when it came in at the library.<br /><br />Court: Glad you approve! Going Bovine should be great. Now to find time to read it!<br /><br />Wendy: There are a lot of awards. There are plenty I don't really pay any attention to. These ones I just notice because they are my country. :) Have a great week too!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-88040016257384923522009-10-11T14:28:13.069-03:002009-10-11T14:28:13.069-03:00Haha!

I know what it's like to have people thinking I'm more organized than I truly am. :-) I'm glad you decided to have your week in review post again this week.<br /><br />I admit I had to look up with the Giller Awards were. There are so many awards out there for books that I can't keep track of them all, much less which is which. I imagine there would be a lot of interest in a challenge. Being that I'm going cold turkey once I complete all my current challenges for at least a year, I won't be able to participate. It's tempting though.<br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised if I fell into the "Good Girl" category either. Maybe I should read the book to see--or at least your review when you post it. :-)<br /><br />I am really going to try and devote a good chunk of today to my reading. I need to make headway in my current book. <br /><br />Have a great week, Kelly!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-87012942121738555472009-10-11T14:23:14.435-03:002009-10-11T14:23:14.435-03:00LOL.
