its a pity i can't count my reading for grad school...lol! my assignment for cognitive psych this week is like 35 pages... ;) oh well...j/k!!

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

I'm out of this one. It'll get won before I can read another page. I had the flu so badly overnight that my mother took me into the emergency room this morning and I was hooked up to an IV and given some meds. I've been sleeping all day.

[Dee]

feel better Kate!! We'll miss you!

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

Thanks Dee. After all the ER did, I'm feeling better. Just weak.

[Dee]

chicken soup or vegetable soup and rest...just what the doctor prescribed (even if i'm not a doctor yet and only a psych phd ;) ) and lots of rest (with some romance reading to cheer you up!)

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

Wish I could have soup. At the moment they gave me a clear diet for 24-36 hours, so am only suppose to have jello, water, chicken broth, or gatorade. Not exactly a diet to get your energy back up is it. I am doing alot of resting.

[Debbie]

rest well, be thinking of ya.

I agree about Bones. i read the first book because I like the show but there were very few similarities.

All this talk about Sookie has made me impatient - I'm on hold for the first book from the library and can't wait to see what you're all talking about! I saw a preview for the show and thought it looked terrible. It made me laugh and not in a good way :P

[~Sara~]

I hope you are better soon Kate! I love checking out the books you come up with for the bonuses - it always makes me laugh!!!

[Debbie]

With poor Kate out not feeling good, and a couple of us have posted new numbers, I thought I would help out - hope that is ok with everyone.

Kate, I know how awful a bout like this is **Big Hugs!!** The good thing about Gatorade is that it keeps your electrolytes up, but if you're like me, you look at the jello and say, 'Is that all there is?!'

[Nairabell]

Kate - I hope you feel better soon! :)

I didn't see that post. Feel better soon Katie-kins =D I haven't gotten ill in a while. I have a new roommnte so I go around wiping everything down. Such a germaphobe sometimes.

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling more myself today. I'll still take it easy but at least I'll be out of bed today.

[Debbie]

So glad you are feeling better this morning. You might still want to take it easy today, but glad you are more yourself today. =)

[Ashley]

Oh man! I miss this group! All this talk of Bones the TV show and it got added to Netflix streaming so I've been watching that show instead of my usual marathon reading! It's really good. I'm only on Season two...but so far it's good. Either way, I'm not catching up for this round either...I'll join in again after there's a winner!

[Nairabell]

Ok so I guess I should post the next challenge, but as I'm new to this if I'm doing it wrong let me know.

As today is Buddha's birthday in Japan, also known as Hana-matsuri which translates as 'Flower Festival' I'm basing my challenge on Buddhism and flowers - the goal is based on the 32 signs of a great man used to identify Buddha, and the reward is based on the 4 noble truths and the noble eightfold path. Uber-thanks to Google and Wikipedia, without which I wouldn't know any of this :)

Buddha's Birthday Flowers Challenge
Duration: April 8 - April 22nd
Goal: 3200 pages
Reward: 4 new or 8 used books
Bonus: Take double pages for any book with a flower in the title (either flower, or rose, daisy etc) or flowers on the cover.
