 1. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title. 2. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the"). 3. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title. E.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes", and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty." 4. The repeated word must be in the title as shown on the title page of the book--not, e.g., part of the series name unless such is part of the title as shown on the title page. 5. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can. 6. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an html link. 7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two: e.g., "thunder-clouds"; and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only. 8. Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post. My play: Queen of the South by Arturo Perez-Reverte; TBR Message edited by its author, Aug 1, 2009, 10:36pm.

My play, No. 142,uses a word from No. 141 (without), a word from No. 132 (are) and a word from No. 133 (of). We should be back on track. Belatedly, I see DirtPriest already got us back on track. After we post, we need to verify that nobody else posted while we were preparing our post. Maybe we need to include this in the rules? Message edited by its author, Jul 30, 2009, 9:49pm. I vote we add to the rules that our post should be verified. Blind to the Bones by Stephen Booth. Read in April of 2006. The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. Mount TBR. I agree with the suggested rule addition; I tried to do what DirtPriest did, but couldn't find anything in my library that fit both of the simultaneously posted titles. Should have gone outside also.

The Cat Who Saw Red by Lilian Jackson Braun read this when it first came out. . .whenever that was. and >#156 i didn't mean you shouldn't do what you did, dp. I'm madly impressed by people like you and moi who can tie them together. for those of us without your skill or resources, however, i think going back to the last correct response would be best. I've never seen red dwarf but am a great fan of our hyacinth and her royal doulton with the hand painted periwinkles. :) Portrait of a Man with Red Hair, by Hugh Walpole (read 26 Apr 1952) I agree with the suggestions for a rule which says one should respond to the most recent correct posting. If someone beats you to a response and your posting no longer fits, I think you should delete it--I take that is what is meant when one says you should verify that your posting is correct, and that no one has beaten you to a response.

Marion Crawford I have not read this--neither word in #251 shows up in my list of over 4600 books read. But I have often thought about reading something by F.
