I'm still dealing with flooding. Record amounts of rain has fallen in the last few days. Going to be up late tonight watching the water levels to make sure it doesn't enter the house. The rain should clear by noon tomorrow.

I use overdrive. Is their a difference between overdrive and hoopla? Does one have more content than the other.

I may or may not have talked a little smack in Death Star chat:)

Rogue One is coming for you:)

It would rather be blind folded I love to hear my friends jabs and jab back. My family is similar to who's line is it anyway.

Would you rather live in the past or the future?

Just wanted to stop by and say hey this morning. Has anyone ever played "Would you rather"?
Would you rather have the ability to fly or the power to become invisible?"

Invisible I am more of a lurker than a flyer. Besides I'm afraid of heights:)

I though that each team member the reads the BOM would get points to the team and only one person can write DQ's, but we all can participate on answering the questions. Am I incorrect?

What I decide to read changes every day but here is a few books on my short list. Not including BOM for May.

Norse Mythology
Strangers
The Black Ice
The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America This might be my first book in May
Aftermath: Life Debt
Into the Wild
The Turn
Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis

I love that series. However I don't think book 4 will be out anytime soon. The author may have George RR Martin issues.

There isn't. I just looked at the books in the lead on the polls.

My Star Wars soul mate:)
Princess Leia
Let's face it, you deserve royalty. Leia is about as good as you can do in the galaxy and you'd be perfect together. You share the same moral values and you want a partner you can be inspired by and learn from. Plus, Leia is an independent, strong woman and it's important to you that you're with someone who has their own life.

I got on the waiting list for the three books of the month. Does anyone know the order they are usually done?

Let me know if it needs to be changed.

I am an accountant. Accountant Definition "Someone who does precision guess work based on unreliable data provided by those who have questionable knowledge." See also magician or wizard.:) That is not boring:)

I loved the Red Rising I would recommend to anyone. It is like Hunger Games but on crack.

ROJ is the first I saw also. Probably my first movie I saw in the theaters that I can remember.

The series Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan is my all time favorite fantasy series. It is not even close to any thing else I have read. The series is over with and characters feel like good friends I know I will never see again. The Eye of the World is book one.

I watched Rogue One last night I was unable to see it in the theaters also. It is really good but I'm a child of the 80's, Empire will always be favorite.
