On a Bender

Posted by Sep 26 2011, 4:01 am

by Nancy and Jeanne N: Jeanne and I both enjoy books that don’t fit squarely into a niche, romances or books with strong romantic elements that bend the genre lines. So today we’re chatting about those. J: You know, that always sounds hinky. In a Bend-it-like-Beckham kind of way. (Speaking of Genre Bending) N: Bwhahaha! I didn’t start out reading as much romance as I do now. I discovered science fiction (and comic books) and mystery first.

Classes start midweek on campus so besides the football game, there was an excitement in the air of moving in,

Board Games – Quick 5

Posted by Sep 22 2011, 4:22 am

by Anna Sugden The other night, we were discussing the fad of playing board games. It used to be that everywhere you went, from family visits to dinner parties with friends, the board games would come out and off everyone would go. [We won't mention the whole wives falling out with husbands, brothers and sisters not on speaking terms thing .] Though many of us remember the days of Life, Monopoly or Scrabble, and Kerplunk, Mousetrap or Operation, there was also Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary and variations on the Charades theme. Two of my favourites were Celebrity Taboo and PSI. In
