Shoes??? I have never even thought about looking at people's shoes to get a glimpse of their character...LOL... I think that people do tend to make assumptions about others based on what they do for a living. I find this happening even within a profession...for example, I am a Licensed...

It's been more than a few years since I was in school, but I seem to remember that those kids who liked to read in the first place did not grumble nearly as much about required reading. Those who didn't enjoy reading anything grumbled constantly. I can't ever remember not liking to read and...

LOL, yeah, I think I would have that problem as well if I actually tried to keep track of what book I was currently reading. On average I can read a book every 2 days, sometimes a book a day, sometimes more if we have nasty weather!!!

And the Jurassic Park sequels were even worse!!!! This is a case where they took a wonderful adult book and turned it into a PG-13 movie based on awesome special effects. Actually, I enjoyed all the movies as they were fun and great mindless entertainment...BUT they sure had nothing to do with...

This is a cute thread... I really have 2 usernames...Dakota Dreams and SMTFlyball...I use the first for everything general...the second for anything 'dog' related. Dakota Dreams came about when I moved to North Dakota. I was born and raised a city girl in Milwaukee, WI and I hated it. One...

Hey Dolphinfire...lol...how long of a list would you like?? Do you prefer classic vampire tales, the newer fantasy type, paranormal romance type?? There are all kinds out there these days... My absolute favorite is Laurell K. Hamilton's series...The Anita Blake Vampire Hunter books...

Ah yes, I have heard of that, although I forgot the name....I certainly do not know any more about it than Wabbit does...lol...in fact, less....

Give me a bookstore, any bookstore... I buy both new and used...generally I will take chances on used books...read the back, hey this sounds okay, pick it up because it is cheap. Have found some really good authors that way. Or when I want something light, silly I will usually look used...I...

Last book read... "Haunted" by Kelley Armstrong This is the 5th book in her Women of the Otherworld series and it was a good read. I was prepared not to like it, since the main character is in past books and is not depicted as being very 'like-able', but it does change your perception of the...

"Blood and Chocolate" is a cute story. Not only did I find a copy for me, I also found one for my 12 year old nephew and he loved it! And Water Fairie...I love your book count!! I don't keep track of how many I read although I always have a book with me wherever I go...

Current Reading Am currently reading "The Awakening" by L.A. Banks. This is the 2nd book in the Vampire Huntress Legend series and I have to say that Banks has done a great job of creating a new mythos. "Minion" is the first in the series and I enjoyed it very much. I see shades of Blade...

Got me, have no clue, what is it?? Animal, Vegetable or Mineral???

Thanks for the welcomes Thanks for the welcomes...LOL...and you guys slay me, really you do!! Despite the preference for fangs, there are no coffins here and no other vampire paraphernalia. The only real fangs on the place are canine...lol...but I do love the genre when it comes to whiling...

Harry the Wizard I just finished reading "Death Masks" and enjoyed every minute of it. I was introduced to the Harry Dresden series when a friend gave me "Summer Knight" for Christmas. I tried reading it but just couldn't get into it because there was too much I didn't know. So I hunted...
