Should I write my own version of the <i>Interrogative Mood</i>? Should I write it in verse? Or is my prose worse? Should I "Seuss" it? Or lose it?

Are you feeling better?<br /><br />Bonnie might as well write her own version. :)<br /><br />If you mean the steamy sex in Anne of Cleaves . . . well, that was the reason I avoided it when that one came out -- either earlier this year or late last year. I remember reading about it and thinking it was not my thing. <br /><br />Good for you. I'm reading off my stacks, lately, I think out of rebellion. Suddenly, none of the ARCs are interesting me. I don't mind giving them a break.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-33765988333894552852009-10-29T12:32:25.912-05:002009-10-29T12:32:25.912-05:00I am extremely entertained by Bonnie's bid for...I am extremely entertained by Bonnie's bid for the <i>Interrogative Mood</i> and am rooting for her. <br /><br />Tudor Roses sounds interesting, I'm back into my Tudor reading but don't add me to the list! I'm finally reading all the books I've bought over the last few years. <br /><br />Margaret Campbell Barnes does write interesting novels but there are a few choices she makes for her characters that are a bit eye raising, esp. considering she published them in the 40's and 50's. (I'm thinking of Anne of Cleves, particularly.)<br /><br />I haven't been around much but that was due to the flu last week and the lack of gremlins doing my work while I was gone. Sad how lazy gremlins have gotten.Carrie Khttp://mymiddlenameispatience.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-40833514282746689772009-10-29T12:25:17.640-05:002009-10-29T12:25:17.640-05:00Now there are three for the Tudor Rose.

Not bad odds, so far. ;)<br /><br />GMR,<br /><br />I've had a lot more DNF books, this year, but that's in part because I made a commitment not to force myself through anything, at the first of the year. It's never been unusual for me to have some books that I'll pick up 2-3 times before they finally click, though, so I hope I've made it clear that a good portion of DNF-ing is just timing. The vast majority of the books I've requested have been great.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-18849132565466819782009-10-29T01:45:02.008-05:002009-10-29T01:45:02.008-05:00Nice reviews...or should I say "non-reviews&q...Nice reviews...or should I say "non-reviews". I find it refreshing to see what other bloggers do when faced with the "oh-no-not-this-book" syndrome. I've been lucky thus far....most were pretty good if not bearable. I have had to turn a few away BEFORE receiving them due to what I felt was a "non-fit".

I'm much happier with a nice, blue sky in the fall.<br /><br />Brittanie,<br /><br />Yep, same here. Too much to write about. It feels a little like homework. I think tomorrow will be mini-review day, if I can talk myself into it. I might go for a long walk, instead, if the weather holds. Hope the rest of the week is better. :)<br /><br />Bonnie,<br /><br />Because he was in a mood to ask questions?<br /><br />Nope, I didn't read that review. Honestly, the book is fun. But, after a time it becomes a little tiresome so I think it's best in small doses.<br /><br />Thanks for drawing my attention to the error.

Would that be okay? Would you say I'm already in the interrogative mode? (Why is "mood" in the title, rather than mode?) Did you read any reviews before getting the book, as I did? And did you discover that Jim Dwyer's review for Library Journal (see below) was also written with all questions?<br /><br />"Why will people of a philosophical bent enjoy this book? How bent do they have to be? Does it help to have the twisted sense of humor of a Monty Python fan? Will 'people of a certain"'age particularly respond to this book? How old is "' certain age' anyway? Are you uncertain?"<br /><br />Does asking for the book in all questions qualify me in some way? Am I already a bit crazy, or at least extremely warped?Bonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-67172902832692967302009-10-28T21:19:58.285-05:002009-10-28T21:19:58.285-05:00It has been a crazy feeling week.
