Welcome to ChezMagpie!
I can't promise pearls of wisdom
or a guide to self-improvement
but this is our life
as we live it.

A Self Indulgent List

Funny! When did you write this?????? It was hard to read the last sheet because I could not make it bigger by ckicking on it.
Hope all is well I have not heard from you in a while :)
Dear Cynthia (can I call you Cyndi?): does it make you feel any better when I reveal that 99.9 percent of the books I listed at GR were ones I read in high school and college? Because all I read now are rose catalogs and the labels on homeopathic remedies for my catarrhal children.
Friends 4 Ever (and your handwriting is super cool!!!!!)
Hmmm. I don't know whether to ask you to be my friend or not, Cynthia.
If you wish to collect your childhood and adolescent books at any time to do the necessary revision we still have them stored here at the mill!
Come back Alice... don't go to Bhutan... we'll miss you!
Does this mean that I have to dust down my Mrs Beeton or Constance Spry ? Or my notes from the "Getting to Grips in the Kitchen" cookery course which I attended at about the same time as Fatal Attraction came out.
Bhutan sounds very vegetarian to me
I'm very relieved to know all those books on Lynn's list are from high school and college because my 40 were looking pretty slim compared to her 241!
And I think Alice suits you much better than Cynthia :)

And please don't move to Bhutan...

You are a riot, Alice. I mean Cynthia.
Dear Cynthia, I so like having you as a friend. Your 0 books makes me feel so much better than the 6660 that other people have..... and I feel that you will be much less appalled by my reading of escapist "chick lit" books....
if you do go to Bhutan please can I come and visit occasionally.
Dear Cynthia, Now I know you're on Goodreads can I come and be your friend too? I do have some books listed, but I am slightly worried that people who like the books I have rated 1 star might track me down and bash me over the head with them till I say I really, really liked them ...
Dear Cynthia,
I have just visited "Good Reads", some people list, cookbooks, beading, aromatherapy, health & beauty, household etc. as their "reads".
No need to pack for Bhutan then.
Just cheat - most "big reads" have plot (and sometimes style) summaries on Wikipedia...
whether or not you read, you have lovely handwriting:-)
N.
Cynthia, I have a travel guide to Bhutan that you could add to Goodreads before your final farewell....
Oh Alice, you made me howl with laughter. I am all too familiar with your Goodreads concerns!
This is scary because we have almost identical handwriting!
