Bookie Brunch schedule
Now follow me to the Bookie Brunch meeting for a bit of chit chat at Fluidity of Time.

Bookie Brunch Question of the day:
Since we’re close to Halloween, I’m curious --- if you could be any magical creature for three days (three’s a good number, since it lets you have a fair run at it), what would you be? Of course, you’d be able to turn back to yourself after 3 days, so no worries about getting stuck!

Answer this question at Fluidity of Time and be eligible for the Bookie Brunch giveaway:

Bookie Brunch schedule
Now follow me to the third Bookie Brunch meeting for a bit of chit chat at This Miss Loves To Read.

Bookie Brunch Question of the day:
Do you think people only read classics because they are classics or because they are actually enjoyable?

Related topics to consider: Is there a classic that you don't think should be a classic? Why do you think that?
