It just took me a while to figure out how to go about the process of inserting my own version!! I'm still a novice when it comes to fiddling with HTML, but I'm slowly learning - and I should add that I'd be *nowhere* if you hadn't helped me out with the blogroll!!!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1155115626411709022006-08-09T04:27:00.000-05:002006-08-09T04:27:00.000-05:00About the sidebar . . .

I keep changing the wording, though. Fickle? Yeah, me too. I knew you meant Ottawa! And, I do know those book boxes. They're fun, but I've opted out recently because I can acquire books so cheaply in our library sale. It's the best thing about our library. :)<BR/><BR/>Booklogged,<BR/><BR/>It was me that got the food poisoning. It's still getting me, but the hubby insisted we go to the Greek place (40 miles away) for dinner, since this is our anniversary. What the heck. I can work on digestion without pain another day. LOL Sausage Dogs is much different from the Mma Ramotswe books - kind of farcical. I liked it enough that I snatched the other two at the library, today. We'll see if I can stand to read 2 in a row, though - usually, I require variety and get annoyed with series books if I read them too close together.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1154997454645244332006-08-07T19:37:00.000-05:002006-08-07T19:37:00.000-05:00Les, I hope you are feeling better.

I too like the book rating in the sidebar. <BR/><BR/>I spent 6 years in Lincoln when my dad was stationed there with the Army. Attended Hawthorne, Millard Lefler and Lincoln High. Is Uni swimming pool still there?<BR/><BR/>I had never heard of this series written by Smith, but I did enjoy the first few books in the Detective Agency series, but I'm not reading any more. The Sausage Dog sounds interesting.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1154985669464702732006-08-07T16:21:00.000-05:002006-08-07T16:21:00.000-05:00I can spell.

I may have acquired them via book boxes (traveling box of books for trade amongst book buddies). My hubby wound up reading all of them, so they haven't languished on my shelves completely ignored. Nice to have a husband who not only loves to read, but reads quite a bit of the same books as I do.<BR/><BR/>I've had a rating scale for years, but it's gone through several revisions since I first started keeping a reading journal back in '97. It goes back and forth between 1-5 or 1-10. What can I say? I'm fickle.<BR/><BR/>We love Lincoln, but are ready for a change (warmer winters and cooler summers). Been here since 1992. Prior to that, San Diego, northern California and Canada (born in Ottaw). We're thinking the Pacific Northwest or even western Canada. Time will tell.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1154980537798133432006-08-07T14:55:00.000-05:002006-08-07T14:55:00.000-05:00Thanks, Lesley.

I do that - buy an entire series of books hoping that I'll love them all (sometimes that's a big mistake). <BR/><BR/>About the sidebar . . . I've been admiring Nat's (at "In Spring it is the Dawn" - I think that's where I linked up to your blog) and decided to do similar. Thanks, glad you like it! I've always found it hard to rate books but it helps to create a very specific ratings system if you're as flaky as I am. LOL<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, my dad was born and raised in Lincoln and my parents met and married there. I love Lincoln, although I no longer have a reason to visit!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1154972350218159452006-08-07T12:39:00.000-05:002006-08-07T12:39:00.000-05:00Oooh, I hope you're feeling better soon!

I tried the first a couple of years ago and couldn't get interested. I'll get to them eventually.<BR/><BR/>I like your new rating scale in the sidebar. I need to put mine up, too.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.com
