WoW!...so generous <3

Music is so calming and relaxing...glad you have that playing while you are reading hun, or just taking a break...definitely soothes the soul.

Hope your results come back all clear hun <3 thinking of you...

That's a bonus you can return audiobooks within the year of purchase...good to know for all those who listen to them.

I could totally see why this book isn't for everyone...at least you gave it a go.

Don't think I've seen this one around. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Suzanne wrote: "Looking forward to reading my newest purchase: by Tarryn Fisher."

I've heard a many great things about this book. Enjoy!

I'm definitely curious about this series so I will be looking for the first book real soon.

She really is a very kind individual, which are very rare these days. You really don't get people doing things like that in the world anymore so for your dad to be so completely warmed by her love and compassion for you is rightfully due.

This makes me incredibly happy also hun <3 you are most definitely entitled for this day of pure bliss and happiness, and you totally deserve it sweetie.

I'm with your doctor in that you try not to worry too much over things but again, that is really easier said than done. Just take moments to breathe in through your nose, hold your breath for 4 seconds, then breathe out through your mouth, and hold for 4 seconds. Repeat this process 5 times, when you feel the need to just calm yourself hun. I do this often especially when I'm feeling overwhelmed and increasingly anxious. Sometimes it's really best to let it go out into the world and ask for healing hun...purging will only set you free. But this can be really learned over time. I try repeatedly to let a lot go but I get so bogged down and heavy with so much emotions and anxieties that I can't function either but those breathing exercises have been amazing. My psychologist absolutely recommended them to me. Best thing I ever learnt.

Hopefully your results will come back good and that you needn't worry about that anymore. Do the toe exercises if it's going to help, that would definitely circulate your blood :)

Oh WoW, that is just wonderful and amazing. How selfless and giving this friend is. Generosity goes a very long way and this my friend is simply fantastic. I'm so happy for you <3

Yeah, to be honest, I can't remember the bit I even did read lol

You got there in the end :D

Glad you enjoyed Winner's Curse, it really does keep you interested. As for Shiver, good luck cause I tried desperately to read it long ago and just couldn't get into it. Hope you enjoy it.

Lol I'd really better check myself that I have every book in my jar. I'd probably do the same as you lol

Hope all goes well at the doctor's tomorrow and that you start to feel better hun <3 take some time to rest a little please :)

Yes!! You are so right.

Meredith wrote: "I saw it as one, at least. I mean, her name is Ella and her step siblings are cruel to her. She's the pauper amongst a bunch of royals... I guess after that the comparison kind of falls apart."

Now that you say it like that, then yes, I can totally see the comparisons and it may truly have been inspired by Cinderella. I think it's because the siblings were boys, it threw me off.

Tracy wrote: "Leo wrote: "Done with , and it was meh for me. I won't add the sequels into the jar, though I may pick them up later.

Next one is , which I..."

Yep, that's why I never read on and also book 2 was just okay for me.

OMG Tracy and Melissa, I accidentally deleted your posts thinking I was deleting mine cause it didn't actually post my reply ugh I'm so sorry.

Tracy, I was replying back to your comment about how you loved the author and didn't want to DNF the book but sometimes you just have to cause there are way to many other great books waiting to be read. Also, I mentioned how good it was you picked out Six of Crows but was saying that I wanted to read it too but didn't know whether I wanted to read the other series Shadow and Bone that takes place in the same world but was told that it wasn't necessary, and whether you have read The Grisha Trilogy.

And Melissa, I deleted your post accidentally too and I'm sorry, was going to say that Tracy is adding her books as she reads them and not having her entire list posted up already. And also, this is a fabulous challenge and we are so glad that you are enjoying it immensely :D

Fantastic :D
