I was really wondering where I could use the 'S' lol :p

lol Cynthia, I agree. I'm not that far into the book though, so I'm off to read some more!

I'm currently reading .
(view spoiler)[ I was confused at the beginning due to the switching timeline. I still am a bit lost for some kind of reason, I don't catch everything what Walt means or is trying to say. Or maybe it's his kind of humour that is lost on me. I still need to come into it but I'm very intrigued so far. (hide spoiler)]

Danielle, I like what you did with your shelves to designate the partners. It's creative :)

Thanks! I'm so distracted, I actually read the Q&A but it didn't imprint. But I'm definitely awake now :)

I was wondering do we need to specify which edition or do we use default edition all the time?

Happy Birthday Lauren! :)

Same here! I prefer puzzle games too.
The last game I played was a pirate game where I was the captain of the crew. I joined the English navy (in the game not in real life ;)), we hijacked two ships, so instead of selling them, I was planning to build a fleet. You see I have big plans. Now, I forgot to buy supply and my crew is currently starving and threatening me with mutiny. Since I couldn't find the next port, I panicked and exited the game. Phew!

About Les Misérables. I've only watched the French mini-series with Gerard Depardieu and John Malkovich. I think Victor Hugo's other book Notre-Dame de Paris is also depressing. I own the book but I can't bring myself to read it, nothing to do with the disney version.

@Sheila: That's impressive! Yes, that must take time. I only learned crocheting and I'm not good at it either.

I have catching up to do and GR just ate my message! Second attempt:

1. How many books are you currently reading? 4 - one is a re-read

2. Which of these are you enjoying the most? I'm enjoying them all, they are all different genres. No favourite yet.

3. Do you have any pets, if so what? Yes, two rescued cats.

Mowgli (here telling me my GR addiction is getting out of hand and that I should cuddle him instead :))

4. What is your favourite non reading hobby?

I'm passionate about history and art. I like to visit museums and historic places. I'm always on the lookout for posters advertising new exhibitions. I studied cultural history, my sister is currently studying restauration and conservation, it runs in the family :)

5. What do you do for a job?

I'm currently finalising my thesis due the end of this year.

*takes out a piece of paper, writes down the date* Yep, this one too

I hope you join us Teresa! The buddy read is set up for January but if you decide to read it sooner or later, I would be glad to discuss it with you.

Great Michelle! I'm looking forward to this buddy read.

Anyone was expecting this?"

I was shocked too when I read it Juliana! And after a year reading the book I'm still sad it happened. (view spoiler)[She was one of my favourite characters. (hide spoiler)] No, I didn't expected that.

@Mods: Taryn and I, and anyone else who wants to join, are planning to read the D'Artagnan Romances in January (specific date undetermined). Could you please set a thread for the series?

Hi Kathleen, welcome to the team! It's going to be so much fun!

E?
