Well, maybe not for Sonia. I hope she won't get too many angry PMs... And I hope it won't add to her headaches...

Yup. Mods are allowing it apparently. Sonia will be answering some pms from members will be my guess."

Really? That's amazing news !

How?? What? WHAT????!

I don't get what's happening!

IF it's the fanfiction you're talking about I put it under Sloth - Books that have been on your TBR for at least 2 years.

What??? You mean the fanfiction????

Jenny wrote: "Claire, if we are quick, we can add your book as three--per Sonia.
Put it under what category?"

what book? Sorry I don't follow

I'm starting Les Misérables tonight. I hope I'll be able to finish it this week.

I wish I could give you my copy.

Sonia wrote: "Wow. that bad?

I don't get along with Neil Gaiman. Tried several times. It doesn't work. So I stayed the jell away from the Norse Gods. Couldn't stomach having him make me hate Thor or Loki."

Yep, I'm at the point where I just can't keep any book I didn't like. Otherwise I might never be able to buy new books from lack of space. And yes I hated it, but I was also in a foul mood. It might have influenced my experience... Anyway I was not liking it. I hated the main character. I didn't like that Gaiman gave multiple names to the same character. I hated the pacing. That book was just too long.

Sorry you didn't like it, Claire. But, you never need to read it again!!!"

Yep, I'm getting rid of my copy. It leaves a space for a new book ;)

At my house we do that too. Haha. We speak French at home, but we would use some English, Dutch, Italian, sometimes Spanish and Russian, and of course Latin phrases here and there.

Jenny wrote: "I love it! Throwing a Latin or French, or Greek phrase into regular dialogue makes me giggle. And think."

Oh, if it's French you want, I can deliver! haha
Oooh, speaking of French, maybe I should read Les Miserables and Le Comte de Monte Cristo. These two ought to have enough pages to get my points back. hehe

Also, Claire, if you are going to throw Latin around, let me share the slogan on one of my snarky t..."

Haha, sorry about the latin. I guess my latin teacher did a number on me with all these phrases.
