Love West Side Story -- and lamb, for that matter!

It's still Friday nite here. Watched 'The Hangover Part III' & The new season of 'Sleepy Hollow' premiere. Tomorrow I should finish my mystery... So boring, I know. Also trying to put a dent in some BOM books and, course tackle the never ending laundry pile. Monday is library day. Yaaayyy!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

I admit I am intrigued by the e-reader concept, but I really like feel and smell of a real live book in my hands. Also I'm poor :( and I am always slow to get new tech gadgets, even phones, etc. I love my iPad, but always have to fight off my family to take possession of one. My apartment is too small to keep books, so I only own about 10 special ones which I have in storage...
I may have to break down & get a Kindle or something soon.

Does everyone on our team have an e-reader? Sometimes I think I'm the only person left in the world who still goes old school and reads only traditional books. Not only that, but I borrow them all from the library...

I started my mystery this morning! It's

I'm up for all detours -- except Heirophant. I mean, seriously?
I think I read that we can only do 5 detours, though....
I got the Dec. publication & werewolf, also politician & I have a palace book, too. Just lemme know...

Excellent review! Love that non-concordance...Ha!

I finally finished my yellow text book! I think I added it successfully to the spreadsheet... Let me know if I screwed anything up!

Starting on my mystery tonite....

You guys are making me look bad! Good going!
I should finish my yellow text book tonite or tomw... Got my mystery ready to roll and a book published in December & have ordered my werewolf book. Which city/country do you think we'll end up spelling out??

Congratulations on finishing the first book!!

I haven't really been anywhere outside the U.S. -- except to Mexico when I was a little girl. It's so funny that everybody wants to visit Hawaii. The people who live here can't wait to leave! We get what is known as 'Rock Fever.' That's a persistent desire to get off the island.
I'm about 100 pages into my yellow book. I finished two others that, of course, don't count for this challenge...

Happy Birthday, Delitealex! May all your books be big ones!

I just finished 'City of Glass' by Cassandra Clare and it was awesome. Love reading in bed. Too bad it doesn't count for this challenge. :) Working on my yellow text book now.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone

Aloha all! My name is Lauri and here are my 10 random things...
1) I'm from Hawaii, but I'm not Hawaiian
2) I read 5 - 12 books at a time
3) I'm a Libra
4) I love chocolate
5) I would rather read than sleep - but sleep is a close second
6) My idea of the perfect day is reading a book at the beach
7) I currently am not allowed to have pets, but would love to have a cat and a dog
8) I am also addicted to movies, but wait for them to come out on DVDS or Netflix
9) I work at a mental hospital
10) I've been happily married for 26 years

I need a English/English Medical Interpreter, I swear! I work in Medical Records at a mental hospital & some of the terminology is mind boggling...

No plans for excitement! Just reading & more reading...I hope to finish 'City of Glass,' 'The Horsemasters' and make a serious dent in my yellow text book - 'Insane City.' God, I sound so boring!

Nope. Still need to charge my laptop & try that way - BUT - I have started on my yellow text book. Should be a quick and easy read... It's 'Insane City' by Dave Barry. Happy reading, everyone!


Just figured out how to add the book cover...SO proud of myself!

I'm on an iPad mini & couldn't do it just now either. I'll try on my laptop later on...

Yea! Now to see if anything on my TBR has December pub date. ;)"

Okay Karen. I vote we name you Queen! I definitely have a book with yellow text. Anything else needed for this 1st detour?
