    Well? How was the chocolate martini? I don't often drink cocktails so I'm not sure I would appreciate the book.

    Happy New Year!

    Any number of books read during a year is excellent - we all have different reading styles and pace and time. And this books sounds totally fun! We've started drinking more cocktails over recent years instead of just beer or wine and it's a nice change.

    Have a Happy New Year, Freda! Fifty-five is a lot of books to read in a year! Hopefully most, if not all, were enjoyable reads.

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.

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
