Oh pooh it didn't work

On the Road - Jack Kerouac

Oh it was book titles we had to do!

I eventually catch up.

oooh, Mike. Lovely capture of which I'm sure Jack would approve of
zorba: If there was a nomination for best representations in themes, you should surely win. Love ALL of your contributions!

Thanks for the nice words, Jake. Kyle's Trivia Race has taken up all my spare time these last 2 months. Just trying to catch up on the rest of FT now.

Yes me too Zorba. You folks are probably finished already, we're still waiting (this is day FIVE now) for our second quiz of leg 5 to even get online - so I'm trying to distract myself by revisiting other areas of FT as well (it's either that, or I'll have no nails left by tomorrow LOL). We already realise we'll be last, but we'd like to at least FINISH ; )

206 Bones - Kathy Reichs

oh MY, Christinap - absolutely perfect!

Thank you

The wait is nerve wracking! I can't believe how much time I spent refreshing the Buzz during the Race.

The Twits - Roald Dahl

Christina: those Humboldt penguins are SO cute. I know they look like "clowns" but they're pretty intelligent for birdbrains. We were very lucky to visit the Calgary Zoo quite early in the morning (so no lineups!) this past week to see their newly opened Penguin Plunge exhibit/habitat. I got the impression they were even more curious about "us" LOL.

"Red Rock Mysteries" (series by Jerry B. Jenkins and Chris Fabry)


photo taken at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada USA. It's only about 25 miles from Vegas, so if you get bored losing money, it's well worth the short sidetrip.

The White Tiger = Aravind Adiga

oh my. Gorgeous tiger!

"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" - Jules Verne


Captain Nemo's submarine was named "Nautilus"
Photo taken at SeaWorld San Diego

That's fabulous.

"The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side" - Agatha Christie

Black Beauty - Anna Sewell

The Ugly Duckling - Hans Christian Andersen

"Monkey Grip" by Helen Garner



The macaque is on the outside of the 'cage' (actually a small building) being fed by people from within - Kyoto Japan.

Thanks Christina

SpanishLiz: I DO hope that wasn't one of your OWN mirrors!

love the horses, Christina!

Mike: am very jealous. Haven't been out of my own hemisphere yet. Excellent photo and
interesting concept that the people are sort of in a cage too lol.

"The Eagle Has Landed" - 1975 Jack Higgins (pseudonym for Harry Patterson)

It was. Just jumped off the wall in my downstairs bathroom when nobody (including the cat) was near it. As it broke itself, I choose not to be superstitious about it

lol, well yes, suicidal mirrors should never be taken seriously ~ (and whew!)

"Dubliners" - James Joyce

Dragonflight - Anne McCaffrey
