Here is my 56...




Book Beginnings leave your links in the comments if you didn't join in the Friday 56.



Q:  Do you have a monthly/yearly budget for books? Or are you a "what's a book budget?" kind of reader?
A:  I am definitely the latter. I don't buy a lot of books since I get so many for free for review. No point in budgeting random, seldom, shoppings of a prized possessions.

    I really like the quotes for this one, especially the 56. I really got a good picture of what the garden looked like. Have a great weekend!

    The cover of the book is lovely. I wanted to dive right in.
    I don't budget, either. I do, however, buy used if there's something I really want to have a copy.

    That cover is like the exact image of an outdoor party I want to one day have! This also sounds like a nice read, I loved that description of a riotous garden in summer! Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a lovely weekend!

    I don't agree with Ivy in the opening chapter - I prefer to give gifts that I think the person would like, but that's just me. The book looks very interesting and going off your extracts well written.

    Hi Freda! I didn't get time to do a regular Friday Post, so I just slammed one together quickly this morning. So no Friday 56 (I'm reading an Afrikaans book, so you guys would be lost in any case!).

    Ha - the advantages of getting so many ARC's. But I am so far behind on reading books that I actually own, that I don't even request any ARC's at this stage. And I bought a whole stack of new books only last week.... Hey, at least it's not drugs. I could have been drugs.

    Hope you are well and enjoying and a good weekend!

    I confess that I don't have a book budget but I honestly mostly get my books from the library, which is free. Sorry I am so late to respond. Fridays I watch my grandson and now that he is mobile I don't have much chance to do anything other than keep an eagle eye on him all day. Exhausting.

RATED F 72 minutes AMAZON An evil sorceress transports the gang back to the age chivalrous knights, spell-casting wizards, and fire-breathing dragons. While there, Shaggy unwittingly pulls out Excalibur from a nearby stone to cut a block of cheese and now no one is sure who the rightful ruler is. The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
