My brothers graduated tonight. I feel so old! *Sniffle*

Shadow and Bone! Love that one! :)

They're the best. ^.^

I'm still trying to get over America Singer. *Rolls eyes*

Just wanted to say we're 900 strong! You guys rock! :D

Hi, Keely! I understand your dilemma. I don't have kids - yet, anyway, lol - but going to grad school and working keep me from my books more than I would like. I've actually seen the article you're talking about! I've read about half of them, but I still need to work my way through some others, lol.

If you're looking for motivation - or just some fun - we have plenty of competitions we do every month and that might help you to stay motivated. We'll have some of them listed soon, so keep checking it out!

Congrats on having your plot line sorted out. I, too, have a few books waiting to be written but - alas - school comes first.

Welcome and make yourself at home! :)

Aww, Jessica. XD Adult books aren't all that different from YA or NA books; you just have to find ones that interest you.

All the ones I listed in Southern Fiction are "adult" books, but I read and enjoyed half of them when I was your age or even younger. (I'm pretty sure I read Fried Green Tomatoes and Secret Life of Bees in my first year of high school, at age 14.) I read Bastard Out of Carolina at 18 and didn't get a chance to read The Help until I was 20 or so, simple because it's a newer release. But I loved all of them and they come highly recommended. (But be warned about Bastard Out of Carolina - that's a difficult one.)

I also like Jodi Picoult books. She tends to write about all sorts of things, so you might like her work, too. I've read My Sister's Keeper and Plain Truth and enjoyed them both.

Also, Water for Elephants is good, too. :)

Hope that helped! Don't be afraid to embrace the genre!

I love warriors too! But I haven't read any of the books past the Power of Three or whatever that ser..."

Yeah, but we all kinda knew it was going to happen eventually. :/ The newest series they're working on is actually the prequel series, so it's entirely new characters. They're worth a read, as well as the Super Editions.

Also, Jayfeather is epic. Just sayin' XD

I like middle grade novels from time to time, too. Love me some Warriors. :)

Nope. I don't do caffeine.

TPBM played baseball (on a team) as a kid?

Day

Dress or Skirts?

Plastic Doll

Movie! I tend to miss TV episodes, then I get confused.

WYR go to a school with a traditional schedule (with the summer off, but fewer days off during the school year) or an all-year school schedule (where you have a shorter summer break, but get two weeks off for every nine weeks you go to school)?

Touch the Sky in my pants.

Yup.

Have you ever been caught naked? (And parents and doctors don't count!)

Let's be honest...I'm on a reading high.

FMAB with honeycomb on the cover.

Actually, I've never even heard of it, but it definitely sounds interesting!
