Well I had more etc to due today than reading time...but that is coming up next after I get all done cleaning up...tomorrow another busy day...rather busy than bored!

Thank you!

Well I finished book #1 of The Hunger Games last night and then started book #2...but now i will not be reading as much due to me starting a new job on Monday...but I will keep at my "Ant Hill" :) has anyone read Suzanne Collins "Underland Chronicals" series? what did you think of it?

Wahoo! Harry Potter books are now out in eBook format & i just downloaded them to my Nook! had no problem with the downloads...i got the box set at the discount...in less than 10 minutes from start to finish...also i was in pottermore.com from the start back in September...any questions i will try to answer them for you... on pottermore.com i am under the name of BloodWolf86 ... :)

well i purchased the Hunger Games Trilogy...and started book one... now to find a corner to hide in for a few hours!

it is almost like a group effect they distract me at least every 15 minutes! right when i get to a good part in the story! they run when my voice raises...and then they hide in their safe place...so they know i mean "business!" then what do i do go digging for the doggy treats - sucker mom here! :) Well worth it when i can see their tails still wiggle :)

not bad but i did not read the books...so i have nothing to judge it by...now i did downloaded a sample to my Nook tonight...have you read the series?

i went today to see "The Hunger Games" movie...debating whether or not to buy the 3 books...any suggestions? yay or nay & why...

i have dogs...and i love to have 1 hour of UN-disturbed time is impossible unless they are sleeping & they know where i am and some sleep right on top of my feet...do not move or all trouble erupts!

regarding my book marks on the "lost" Nook they were there & i had to do some "spring" cleaning but it seems to be alright! ya baby...getting ready for reading tonight!!! so will my Nook is charging i will go out & do my errands...l@@ks like rain here...nothing better than a comfy chair, afghan, popcorn, soda, background music & a BOOK!

I am back in business - wahoo! just got my charging cord for my Nook: results: ordering on line is faster than ordering it at the store!!! :) so i am charging my Nook now so i will be reading again before the night!

we are hanging & swinging on a vine...i personally ordered some back-ups...online & at the store...now we will see which one is faster!!! now for back-up via WI-fi ya but then when i went to open on my other soft touch Nook it opened to page 1! so i do better leaving well enough alone until i get my charge cords...in the mean time i have magazines i can page through and movies from Netflix - but i miss reading in bed and when i want quiet time!!! :(

I am upset...unable to do any reading right now: my Nook is down & until B&N gets another charge cord i can not use it...Nook powers down and loses all of my bookmarks! so now i will be behind my reading goals! <( Anyonoe else having the same type of problems?

have you watched the HBO series? the first season is coming out on DVD...second season starts either this month or the next...

which series do you like better: Lord of the Rings or The Game of Thrones???

Here is another question: has anyone started or is reading: The Games of Thrones series (The Ice & Fire series?)

i have it tagged as getting a sample reading...but have not had a chance to do it yet...B&N Nook price is $12.99-I hope the price comes down a bit before it get it...
