LOL Thanks for the chuckle this morning :)

There's a new cupcake coming.
It's mad and it's bad.
Some of you will be humming.
Some of you will be glad.

It's called the "Triple Threat"
And as it's name implies...
While it isn't a sure bet,
It increases your book count size.

We are going to have a September buddy read for . And I even going to re-read it with the first timers.

So... I guess I robbed you of excuses for not to read it :P

So? Are you going to bail on me? Or will you..

play Barney?

*wicked grin*

If I can get my hands on a copy, I'll read it with you. :)

Nice! September 9th. Now, run to the library to request it! :o)

*grins* I suddenly love even more that I have suggested this BR!!

LOL

It was a good call Nicole. Specially because I have read EVERY THING that is available on Kate Daniels Universe. And I'm mean every short story, snippet, twitter version, you name it, I read it.

I read books #2 to #5 in December. And when I finished them, I feel so "how can I feel this void" that I went in pursuit of the rest.

So, I'm predicting I'll be a bit depress when books #6 is over (probably on the weekend, if my family let me), and your suggestion was right on time!

Fantastic to hear it, Sonia. We'd hate to see you depressed :)

I finished 2 books today (08.02)....Beautiful Chaos by kami garcia...4*s...loved it definitely reading the next book because I am definitely hooked. This was for the challenge (leather jacket black) & I finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by j.k. rowling...5*s....love everything HP!!!! this was for the movie-tv/book & WBYs read/watch challenge

Just checking in. Haven't read much as I was busy with moving and everything. I try to get as much as reading as I can in my spare time. Keep reading everyone!!!!

How's the move going, Nancy?

Sallie, book two was my favorite of the Beautiful Creatures series!

Steven, I posted a new picture for you in LJB!

Hey Mango Tango-ites! Don't forget to check out our Mango Tango Chain Game thread. No deadlines, no pressure, just a fun way to connect with each other :) Some of you have been playing along, but we'd love to have the rest of you join us!

The move is finished. I moved back to my parents so i can finish school. It was a long move. After my move, I decided to help my brother and sister in law move in their rented house and helped clean so it was a very busy week and weekend.

Two moves?! Sounds like a very busy week/week-end.

It was. First I moved out of apartment on tuesday then my brother and sister in law moved friday and saturday. So, it was very tiring for all of us. I'm just glad its over.

Hi! I’m Nichole from the Leather Jacket Black team and wanted to invite you to participate in our daily quizzes for fun! If you are interested, the quiz for today is posted in Message 2512. What Greek God Or Goddess Are You? It’s all for fun! Enjoy :)

Ugh, Nancy, that sound exhausting! Hopefully you get some R&R&R soon! (That's rest and relaxation and reading!)

Yea it was but hopefully, I will able to get that soon.

Yikes, that's a lot of moving! Sounds like you've earned some down time :)

I'm trying to get my down time.

LK or whatever other mod needs to see this: I've exceeded my original goal for the year, so I've just changed it from the original 150 to 225. I may need to increase it again later in the year, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it :)

Barb, that is fine. However, it still says 150 on your Home Page Challenge for Mango Tango. When you change it there, we will change it on our spreadsheets.

Thanks!

Oooops, I knew I forgot something LOL I'll do that right now ... or I'll forget again :)

ETA: Done! Sorry :)

Not a problem, Barb. Happens all the time. ☺

I have not been very visible recently but I am still mid move. At least now we are in the flat, have internet (not very good as we have to restart all the time) and I hope to get a bit more reading done.

There seem to be a lot of us moving at the moment! Jane, hope everything goes smoothly for you. Moving can be a right pain.

For all the mangolicious out there

Ummmm, cupcakes!!! YUM!!!

Thanks, Sonia!

Oh do those look good, thanks :)

Yum!!!

Hi everyone...finished another book today...Devil's Food Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke...3*s...another one bites the dust lol I couldnt resist lol

LOL Now I'll have that song running through my head the rest of the night!

So glad i could provide a little ditty to play in your head lol

And another one's gone and another one's gone, another one bites the dust

LOL It's better than the Storytime songs that tend to run through my head after a morning in the children's department :)

Just checking in. I won't be able to check in with you guys for a few days. I'm leaving tonight to head to Alabama for my high school reunion so I won't be able to see how everyone is doing but rest assure that i'll be reading as much as i can and will do an update when i get back.

Have fun! *shudders at the thought of a high school reunion* My ten-year was a few weekends ago. I skipped it! X)

Mine 10 year is this weekend. Thanks. Hopefully, I will have fun.

*sigh* Way to make me feel old! LOL


Nancy, wishing you safe travels and fun at your reunion too!

Thanks guys. I arrived safe at the motel early this morning but was able to check in til 830am this morning. I've been reading when I could. I'll let you guys know how the reading is coming along.

Just read when you can, and don't feel obligated to check in if you don't have time. You can always check in once you get home :)

Just on an aside.... what do you think about the new guy cast for Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi? A bit of a change of direction, he's in his early 50's....

I'm looking forward to it. I'll miss Eleven, but Capaldi has plenty of strong acting talent and Moffat has a story in mind for him, so I can't wait.

I love Capaldi! Although I thought the Dr got younger with each regeneration? And are they going to address the issue of only 13 regenerations (I think they can by River giving up hers). Oh so exciting!
And I hope Clara gets dumped ;)

Yeah, I think the storyline will move away from the "romantic" with the younger dudes, maybe back to the classic days with the Doctor as a brilliant and wise eccentric who still outwits the bad guys with his intellect...

LOL Barb! Me too. I don't even remember the number of the reunion I most recently skipped but since I have a son who has celebrated an 11th wedding anniversary, it is pretty clear that Time Lord Steven is younger than some of my children.

Well, my son just got married last fall, but we were 'older' when he was born, so I wouldn't be surprised if we're in the same age bracket, Evana :)
