AIBU Books - Part 3

[MoominMymbleandMy]

I can't get into the old thread so I think we filled it up! I hope everyone finds the new one.

So nice, shiny new thread, nice shiny new AIBU.

AIBU to be jealous of my DH's correspondence with a stranger?

Pogle, I feel I ought to know yours but I'm not getting anywhere.

Maria, this isn't ringing bells at all now. Doh!

Just looking in to say hello,I'm baffled(..again..),and see you all later!

But, Pogle, don't we get any more hints about the unruly grandchildren? Do you live in Paris, btw?

...Because the people digging in the wreckage were very angry when they found the bodies of the other tenants...

No,not Paris.I was going to say they aren't unruly as such,but maybe that is a good word.They have no interests apart from one,they don't help in the home...

May we ask what is the grandchildren's only interest?

...And they crucified the letting agent. So it was a good thing we got the money back first...

If I tell you that you might be able to guess who I am...!
..they spend far too much time reading..

Was hit be small burst of possible inspiration while sitting in the dark with DS - are you in Rome,by any chance,Moomin?

Humph, I was afraid that might be the case. Another teeny clue, Pogle, please?

And yes, you are spot-on again, I am Marcus Didius Falco, and about to seek a lodging that doesn't fall down.

Hope the sitting in the dark doesn't mean you're lurgy-ridden.

...we went on a picnic today ,(didn't bother with food,too much to carry), now they are asking for books...

No,we're not lurgy ridden,I am just a soft touch and sit with DS at bedtime! (Only while I count to 100 though..)
Am amused by Falco as when I saw the first clue I thought 'well,there's no way I know that one'!

Awww! I used to do that with the DD when she was small. Trouble was I often fell asleep too.

Now, these are clearly very abnormal children to go on a picnic without food intentionally. I still have no idea who they can be and I've a nasty feeling this is going to turn out to be humiliatingly obvious... like Eeyore! Help!

AWBU to stow away?

..the children would've taken food but I didn't want to be carrying it..I did take some squash and Extra Strong mints..the eldest has brought back a sheep's skull and put it in the fridge..

Hmm,stow away? More info ,please!

Must go to bed,tired,headache - back tomorrow,hopefully.(Hope the thread isn't dying - I shall miss it...)

Baby now has chicken pox, I have a chest infection and no blardy clue what any of you are on about.......

Ok, let's get one thing straight - this thread will not die.

I won't let it.

Pol, sorry to hear your woes. Chicken pox horrid, but must a hundred times worse if you're feeling bad too. Hope it all gets better soon.

Pogle, your sheep's skull is making me twitch - definitely ringing bells. Just can't quite reach it, though - little cluelet, pleeease?

Moomin, I need clues on your stowaway, too, please!

Evening all! This thread has a marvellous capacity for reviving. We've said the Last Rites over it at least twice and it staggered to its feet each time.

Poledra, poor baby and poor you. Fingers crossed that you're both on the mend quickly. And hope the headache clears up, Pogle.

Now, I have no idea at all about these skull-collecting grandchildren or the castle-explorer on the ride-on hoover but they sound fun.

...I don't think we are BU. It is certain death to stay. Unless we learn to swim quickly...

I am so so so soooo sorry that I haven't been on this thread for ages. I got all disheartened that I hadn't read any of the books that were being mentioned and slunk off to play Farms on Facebook instead.

Can I come back and see if my intellect has struggled back to life - pleeeeease?

Sunny! Yay! Lovely to see you and you are always welcome.

And if you have any idea on the current horrors I would be so grateful 'cos I am totally stumped.

Hmmm - can't help, Moomin - but on this subject, am I being unreasonable to joke about Official bafflement about the solving of a mystery?

Oh everybody appeared after I went to bed!
Poor you,Poledra,I do hope you both feel better soon.
..now the second GC has eaten ALL my strawberries - an entire strawberry patch,no less!...

Must go,meant to be getting ready for work - see y'all later!

More clues please, everyone.

...And if we had gone on board with permission five of us would have had to stay behind...

morning!
moomin are you insects?

others....no idea!

Hi Polly, yes we are! All seven of us! And we all survived despite the monotonous diet and the often reprehensible behaviour of the humans.

Not a nice species.

Mooms, are you in chapter one of ten and a half?

Can't get any of the others - really need clues on the GCs and the sheep skull!

Yep! The woodworm who stowed away on the Ark, that's us!

I can't get anyone's, and I have just watched "The Marlows and the Traitor" soar to over £40 without even getting a chance to bid. And it was only a Girls Gone By reprint.

So any chance of lots of help for adisappointed AF fan?

Or even a disappointed AF fan

hurrah, thats only the second one i've ever guessed!

AWBU to run away because we don't want to be sent to different orphanages?

Polly, I hope you kept your promise

More clues, anyone?

Bad luck on the Marlows ... very upsetting. One day we'll all be rich and reprint them ourselves!

Orphanages and running away is making me think of Thursday's Child but I don't think that's right. I'm sure I know it though - more clues?

So I've been riding around the castle on this hoover (very comfortable, a very clever invention) and found a turret room that I've never come across before. There's a big book in it - should I open it?
