Happy Halloween to everyone! I hope you save some good candy for yourselves. I plan to save a stash for myself before opening the door to trick-or-treaters. You didn't hear that:rolleyes: Anyone have a good costume? I'm going with my usual Frodo Baggins look. Collected almost all of it from...

For those that use the cover flaps as a bookmark....I have a question. What happens if you're reading a REALLY LONG book? Do you stretch the cover and make it work or just give up and use a bookmark :confused: This question has bothered me for awhile, being someone who just takes the dust...

I don't have the patience to wait for books to be shipped from online even if they're cheaper and I don't have the $$ to buy them new from Barnes and Nobles everytime. So usually I head down to my local Half Price Books or any other used bookstore. I just went to the library sale yesterday and...

I don't know if this counts, but some of the stories by Edgar Allen Poe gave me nightmares when I was little. 'The Pit and the Pendulum' is pretty creepy as well as 'The Cask Of Amontillado.' The latter one especially if you're claustrophobic :o

At least in the teenage realm, I think that girls read more than boys. I have yet to meet a guy (in real life, I know there's tons on here :)) who REALLY enjoys books. Maybe they get interested a little later in life. But, the book club at my school has 6 people out of 550 total students and...

Thanks ds. I got the podcast up and running on my computer and it works quite well. :)

This is a really scary question. I have an addiction to buying books, but once I get them, they just sit on my shelf. I counted all the books I have yet to read and it's very long. Here are a few. Angels and Demons by Dan Brown Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke The...

I think there are a lot of these... A Separate Peace by John Knowles I'd heard that everyone hated it who read it, but I ended up loving it. The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory Before I read this I was totally against historical fiction, but I loved this so much I went to an...

This looks really great. I haven't really gotten into podcasts before, so I am going to go ahead and ask you how to subscribe to it.The website look really great. Forgive my ignorance ;)

I find I have to take a break between books or else I start getting tired of them and I can't appreciate them for what they really are. I enjoy them more when I make myself read a few books inbetween and I'm so excited to go back to the series that I overlook their faults.:)

Happy birthday!

Yay! Happy Birthday! ::sings the birthday song off-key::

Hello! I hope you like it here. It's a very friendly place :)

Michelle Branch. She has amazing songs that get stuck in my head very easily.

My mother knew every tale that was ever told by the firesides of Erin, and more besides. Son of the Shadows~Juliet Marillier The sequel to the book that I just finished, which was very good.

I've read Second Glace and My Sister's Keeper. Both of which were very good. But Venus, I think you have a point. In both books there were characters that were similar. But if you look at her books as separate, there's not much criticism you can give them. :rolleyes: I take that back, I'm sure...

The Constant Princess~Philippa Gregory A The Two Towers~J.R.R. Tolkien (reread) A+ The Little Prince~ Antione de Saint Exupery B The Crucible~ Arthur Miller A+ Daughter of the Forest~ Juliet Marillier A Some good books this month. The Little Prince is not all that is cracked up to...
