Its 10.10am here and I've been up for a while. I've just managed for the first time to get a photo into a thread, yay!! I've been trying for months but now I need to figure out how to make it smaller. There's always something else for me to learn. I'm useless at all that kind of stuff!

I'm still working on my shelves. I'm only just on the B's. Its going to take weeks.

[GeneralTHC]

@7:35 AM

About to finish up BOY'S LIFE, probably read some more of Blood Meridian today, but not sure what else I want to read today. I just want to read the absolute best books--serious ones. I don't know why that has to be such a problem.

[[deleted user]]

Yay Chuck on finishing Boy's Life!

9:05am EST. Right now I have so much good stuff to read that I'm going crazy--I want to read them all, NOW!! I also have 17 new books waiting at the library for me to pick up. For me it's always feast or famine. One book I'm reading (The Introvert's Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World) is fascinating. I've always felt there was something wrong with me since I'm so very introverted, but this book provides a whole different perspective. It's helped me to understand myself better. (And it's not one of those corny self-help books.) Off to do some laundry and make another pot of coffee. Happy Day everyone!

[Kathryn]

9:34 AM. Waiting on my dad to get here so we can go see my grandma.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:49AM Getting ready to dive back into Boy's Life. I need to finish this book up tomorrow since that is the end of February so I will do my best to complete it. No other plans for today.

Kathryn my thoughts and prayers go with you.

[Sarah]

4.10 pm Watching a friend's son while she's sorting out some things. So not used to having two boys here at the same time! Not managed to read properly for days, although I have been listening to Les Miserables on audio.

I think my problem finding reads is having too much of a choice. I just cannot decide between them all.
I'm thinking about reading that new horror book: or maybe that Laura Lippman book I've been seeing advertised: . A new historical fiction book grabbed my attention last night: . There's a new Robin Cook book out that looks good: . Or perhaps some literary fiction: , . I've been wanting to read for a while. That one about the kid in the woods and the bear that killed her family sounds good, too: . That one I mentioned yesterday I'm still unsure of: . This might be good: . There's several thrillers out that may be good GR's been advertising. Oooh, or maybe this one: . This other one by the guy who wrote SNOW FALLING FROM CEDAR's which I haven't read either has been gnawing at me: . Heck, I think I'll just read them all ... but in what order? Ugh!!!

12:56 P.M.
Have to work today.......grr!
Haven't gotten much reading done the past few days; hope to catch up today.

I hope that everyone is having a good day!

[[deleted user]]

6:13 p.m. and I have a LOT of catching up to do. Not going to allow myself to stress about it, but I really do need to finish these two books so I can get started on the upcoming books for the month of March. Might sit up REALLY late tonight since I have nothing to do tomorrow.

[[deleted user]]

6:21 p.m. and just put the Galaxy on charge. Plan to sit in a comfortable chair (not this hard kitchen chair), rest my back and read till dawn. Well, maybe a bit of an exaggeration but I'll try. No time for sulking tonight!

[Kit★]

8:50 p.m spent the evening cleaning the living room and bathroom and hallway and vacuumed the bedrooms. Feeling triumphant though I didn't do a darn thing in the kitchen yet. Had a pb&j for dinner and now I'm just catching up on groups before I settle in to try and write a review for Boy's Life. Dunno why, but I've been having trouble writing my reviews lately, I feel like I can't put into words what I want to say. Sigh. Small problems though, I'm not complaining.

[Angie]

Its 2.30am here, I've stayed up most of the night again! I had my flat inspected by the landlord today so I've spent most 9f the last two days cleaning everything from windows and doors to the flag stones on my patio. Happily they were happy with everything.

I'm just at page 60 of boys life, I was supposed to read it on the group but I think everyone has finished. I had to clean instead of read.

[Shell]

At least you've started it Angie - I'm so far behind in all my reading, I've been so busy I have hardly had time to read at all :(

[GeneralTHC]

7:00 AM

About to go for a few-mile walk and when I get back I'm going for an epic reading day. Finally got the book I've been wanting:Runner. Woot!!!

[Lucy]

2.33pm
Cooking lunch (and technially dinner as its in the slow cooker) and drinking coffee :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:09AM Plan to finish Boys Life today, I have the whole day to myself. Could have been close last night but we went out and then my daughter came to visit LOL I need to finish today so I can do my February wrap up. Looking forward to another great reading month for March.

[GeneralTHC]

Janie wrote: " I need to finish today so I can do my February wrap up. Looking forward to another great reading month for March. "

I used to do that same thing, but now I'm lucky if I can wrap up all my reads by the end of any given year, haha. I's been a while since I've done that. Gosh, I can't even remember the last time I didn't have any books going.


9:53 AM

Loving--absolutely LOVING my book RUNNER!

This is going to be at least a 600-page day.

[[deleted user]]

10:18 am
Studying in Anthropology right now I have a midterm exam in it on Monday. Other then that not much going on with me. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the start of the weekend and a new month

[Kathryn]

11:30 AM. Good morning, GR....I didn't sleep well last night, so when Mark left this morning for work, he told me to stay in bed and take a nap. Dad called at 9:30, so there went my nap. Going to read for a while, then do stuff around the house. All of the packing is making my house a disaster. It's driving me crazy.

[Corey]

8:40 p.m. getting ready to finish the last few chapters of Clear and Present Danger, then tomorrow I choose a new book.

[GeneralTHC]

8:15PM

Welp, don't think I'm going to make my 600+page day after all--I mean, I could but I don't think I would enjoy it if I did it just to do it--I'm sleepy. I just got too distracted today. I read right under 400 pages today. Not bad. That's double what I've been averaging.

[GeneralTHC]

Fresh baked Pillsbury chocolate chip cookies, hot and gooey right out of the oven: off the spatula to my taste buds followed up with a shot cold milk. I'm gonna feel guilty when I wake up methinks, lol.

[Veronica]

9:30 PM. Finishing up Twelve Years a Slave. Clearly a 5 star read.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

8:35PM Finished Boy's Life about 4:30, had dinner after that and went to the playground. Played basketball with my kids while Aves played with a little girl on the playground. Came home and did my vlog and wrote my review on Boy's life. Had a glass of wine and then of course I had some coffee after that because I love coffee in the evening. And now I think I shall watch a movie with the family.

[[deleted user]]

10:00 p.m. Just got back from a night out with my daughter and grandchild. We picked up some more Girl Scout cookies from the troop, went to her school to watch a movie, and ate at McDonalds. Had fun and enjoyed the time spent with them. Plan to read for a bit now.

Oh, how I used to love Girl Scout cookies! Chocolate-mint cookies I think were my favorite. It's a shame they don't sell them all year. It's probably good for a lot of us they don't.

[Corey]

Almost 10:30, getting ready to go to the gym to exercise for about an hour or two.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:40PM Have plans to go out today to Eureka Park, actually named South Lake Park. This is Denton's best park ever, where we all become kids playing on their monster playground! We have a lot of great memories with Aeverie at this park, and even great memories with our own kids as well. Sadly come fall they are tearing it down to rebuild using plastic and steel. It will never be the same or even compare. The reason why is because when it was built it (all built by volunteers) the sealer for the wood had arsenic in it and they have to seal it every year to keep it contained in the wood. Even though the amount that can seep out is so minimal that it could not really hurt anyone it was still voted on to be torn down and replaced. UGH! The park also has fishing, and great trails to walk. That of course will all stay the same. So we wanna go as often as we can before it is gone. It is really sad.

9:43 am
Good morning book buddies! Right now my parents and I are over at my sister's house having donuts with my nephew. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

[Angie]

Its 4.45 and I'm just watching a film with my son. Its called Iceman and its about a hitman for the mob. Its meant to be a true story. Its got a good cast so it should be good.

[✨Susan✨]

Hello GR Buddies. Working on our backyard today and doing some baking. Hope all have a fun weekend and a great new month of reading. Looking forward to the coming of Spring and all the rebirth and newness it brings.

Janie, Hope you have a great time today!

[GeneralTHC]

11:22 AM

Trying to figure out what I'm going to read today. I'm torn between about 3 books today, two of which I cain't even remember what they are at they moment. I should work on some of those 50 or so books I'm halfway though, but that just ain't how I roll anymore. Kind of bummer in a way though because all that reading doesn't go on my stats.

I think this book sounds good: Caught. It's probably the one I am going to read today, unless I remember pretty quickly what those others were. I think I'm just going to start adding everything with even a modicum of potential to my TBR. Then I'll be back to multiple TBRs. Oh well, the problems of a bookworm--gotta love it.

Man, it's really, really nice day in Thee Metroplex. Hope you all have a great day!

[[deleted user]]

1:11pm EST. Just got home and am enjoying some coffee. Had a dental checkup at 8:30, then went out to breakfast with hub, then we both got our hair cut. Now he is going to the library for me (YAY) so I can figure out what I want to read next. It's been a good year so far for my reading. Planning shrimp with red peppers and spinach over angel hair pasta for dinner. Hub will help me cook, should be a good time. Also, a little vino. Hope everyone is having a great day!

Chuck--FYI my pharmacist is back! Double YAY!

[GeneralTHC]

Alright! Happy reading, Terri! ;)

[Christine]

It's 1:52 pm

I'm going to take a nap

[[deleted user]]

2:03 p.m. and I just got finished with all the running and bill paying for the day. Plan to buckle down and read for a while. And, keep a close eye on the weather. We are now under a Winter Storm Warning (AGAIN!).

[Holly]

1:34 P.M.
Haven't really studied at all since receiving my first set of books. Oops! Maybe it's because of all the reading I've been doing....hehe......
Going to my niece's birthday party later. The little one is very excited to see her cousins!

[Lucy]

21.09pm
Just put my book down for a while to watch the first Thor movie. It was really good, but now I want to go back to my book :)

[Corey]

Thor was a good movie, I still haven't seen the second one.

[Corey]

8:00 p.m. just got done watching Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back on Spike tv, now I'm starting A Place Called Freedom, so excited!

[[deleted user]]

8:15 p.m. Well, I've been attempting to read for the last several hours, but circumstances have made it nearly impossible. Trying to find someone to take this cat in before it freezes to death in the storm tomorrow and Jeff is bugging me to watch Thelma and Louise. Oh well.

Can you build it a place outside? Just a box with old clothes or something in it? Maybe a tarp around it or something? It could be God wants you to have it. Yeah, that's probably it. ;)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

7:46PM We had a beautiful day out today I loved every minute of it. Enjoyed Eureka park! Went to Braum's for Dinner and then of course Ice cream! YUM Now gonna do a short work out and then read read read! I also got a lot of my vlogs dome YAY!

Cindy hope you can help the kitty out!

[Alondra]

8:17am. About to go have breakfast with the kids... (secretly hoping i can get someone to adopt them, or they run away) and then back for some much needed gardening.

i tell ya; i don't think my kids will ever leave. my husband just hung his head down and said, '..you know they are never moving out??'..and he sounded so forlorn. I immediately went out of the room and yelled at the kids... hahhaha.... they came out saying, "What happened?" and looking confused. I said "everyone out by the end of the summer, you are depressing your dad!!..and that goes for the cat, too!"

Of course, the cat just looked at me, and started licking her butt.... damn.

[✨Susan✨]

Lol, Alondra,you are so funny. I think mine will live here forever too. But when you look at it from their side why would they leave. Haha. Last night we had 10 kids here to visit(party), pigging out and carrying on. My hubby and I feel the same way. One day I want them to go and the next I don't want them to ever leave. I think that is a Mom thing.

The cat probably had the right idea. Lol

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:08AM Well so much for the 2 days of summer we had at temps in the 80's! What is this madness? It went from 80 to 25. With the wind chill it is like 12. Ok Ok I know Texas has weird weather most of the time, but not like this, this is way past weird! So right now I am enjoying some coffee and gonna take some time to read. Sheesh stay warm my Texas Friends!

[✨Susan✨]

Took the dog out this morning and ran back in for my snow coat. Holy Moly, no bbq today. brrrrrrrrr

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

7:47PM So the ice storm has passed thank goodness. I am so tired of the ice coming and going all the time. Had spaghetti for dinner, had a good work out. I am now enjoying some coffee and gonna read! I got my first approval on Net galley from an Author yay! That excited me!

IKR Susan!? This weather is a drag!

[[deleted user]]

9pm EST. Had at least an inch of ice and now it's snowing--expecting 3-5 inches which doesn't sound too bad. Hub can work at home tomorrow if the roads are bad. so that's a relief. Didn't eat dinner tonight--we had some bad shrimp last night and spent the day recuperating, so Larry had some chicken soup and I had coffee. (I know, I could have made a better choice, but it was so soothing...) Gonna read for a while and then make it an early night. Good night and sweet dreams GR!

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Been watching a lot of movies today while chilling on the computer. Right now watching some episodes of CHOPPED and organizing what to read for the year (loosely!)
