Saturday

Noon – Paper Chase: Fashion & Clothing
Color me surprised! Simeon has chosen fashion and clothing as the topic for this month’s Paper Chase. Find the 10 clues scattered about Bookstacks Isle, and you will be able to figure out what that book’s title is.  Touch each page and a clue about the book will be given to you. Once you have touched all 10 pages, you can then tell the book at the podium the answer and the 500L top prize could be yours.

Noon – Bookstacks’ Trivia: Science Fiction

Simeon was left to his own devices this week, so he is to blame for his questions.  The subject should be safe: Science Fiction.  Come this Saturday at noon to see what he has come up with, and you may be surprised to find the questions aren’t as hard as I feared.  Winner of the quiz takes home 500L.  Dress to suit the theme,and you could be taking home 500L for best costume.

11:00 a.m. – Book Discussion: Book Series

I’m reading the latest J.D. Robb “In Death” novel, and it has inspired this week’s discussion topic. Are there any book series you are addicted to? What makes a character hold up from book to book? What are the signs a series has gone on too long?
