Heather | 253 comments 6:32 PM my lovely father has taken over the tv for his nightly bonding I was reading earlier but stopped about an hour ago. Now I am texting my significant other and about to lay in bed until I fall asleep Happy Easter!

2:03am. Trouble sleeping so I thought I'd try and catch up with everyone. Chuck, I love to read at night when it's raining out. I'm taking kind of a break from reading. I just can't concentrate. I stare at the pages and just can't keep track of the plot. I hope this doesn't last too long. Happy Monday everyone.

8:00AM Good morning GR> I trust that everyone had a nice Easter. Ours was very nice, and I was whooped by the end of the day and was in bed before Midnight. So today is a quiet day, still overcast. Good news is Randy finally got the leak to stop in Derek's room! YAY! Plan to read today and finish Death Whispers.

Holly | 1184 comments Good morning GR; I hope everyone had a great Easter!

10:47 A.M. Checking up on GR. Have to work tonight, but at least I didn't have to get up too early today. Was so tired yesterday, I went to bed before 9! I feel nice and rested though.

You had a novel brain aneurism. :-)"

Oh, so that's the technical name? How do I fix it, Dr Pierre?

Corey | 1411 comments 1:00 p.m. sitting here eating my lunch and watching What About Bob, such a funny movie, I recommend it to anyone who's never seen it and anyone who needs a good laugh.

Heather | 253 comments 5:51 PM I have received some devastating news today...if you want to know please private message me and I will explain there I am taking this pretty hard

Corey | 1411 comments 6:35 PM Got done eating dinner, just got back from a nice walk, the weather is very nice, just got back and now I'm just chilling and watching TV, in a couple of hours I'll probably get some more reading done.


message 11010: by [deleted user] (new)

8:05 p.m. and thank God my daughter felt sorry for me today. She bought the pain meds my insurance wouldn't cover. I just took two, so I might not last long tonight on GR's. I don't care. Need some relief in the worst of ways. Plan on reading for maybe an hour before I get drowsy. Dr. appointment tomorrow and I'm riding a bus, so up at 5:00 a.m.

Hi Terri! Glad to hear from you! I hope things are going as well as they can be. I think I may know of a couple of books that might interest you at this time. I'll see if I can remember what they are are send you the recommendations.


message 11012: by [deleted user] (new)

9:59 p.m. and I can't hold my eyes open any longer. Good night folks.

11:50PM Have been reading Death Whispers. It is a pretty slow moving book for me, but should have it done by tomorrow some time. Had a beautiful day today weather wise, but it got pretty humid. Just waiting for Amy to get of work right now. So I will be crawling into bed soon.

10:01AM Had some breakfast and have to finish this book Death Whispers. I am just not really feeling it. I mean it is ok but not very realistic at all. Once I finish it I will be starting Brother Odd for a book a thon choice.

Yes, but be warned that series can be addictive and cause side effects like sleep deprivation. :-)

Holly | 1184 comments 12:25 P.M. Have to go do laundry before going to work tonight.


message 11019: by [deleted user] (new)

7:03 p.m. Went to the doctor today and having emergency surgery tomorrow. He wanted to do it today but I didn't have anybody to pick me up on such short notice.

Came home, read a little, and took a nap. Now I'm cooking dinner and reading.


message 11020: by Gavin (new)

Gavin (thewalkingdude) | 315 comments 5:07 pm Finished The Two Towers a couple of hours ago. Now I'm watching some anime and checking up on GR.

19:16 EST Oh wow! I hope everything will go well for you Cindy.


message 11022: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm sure it will Pierre. Might not be online tomorrow night because my surgery is scheduled at 6 p.m. but I'll be online before I go and then Thursday. Thank you for the well-wishes.


message 11023: by [deleted user] (new)

8:04 p.m. and I'm going to the bedroom and read for a bit. Will check back in before going to bed.

9:37PM Wow I am so glad I finished that book. I just wanted it to end. Anyway had a pretty good day today. Everyone is asleep and now it is really quiet and I love these times especially if I have a busy day. So I am gonna jump into Brother Odd.

Cindy saying prayers for you! Hope all goes well with the surgery!


message 11025: by [deleted user] (new)

12:10 p.m. Thanks Janie! I'm gonna read for about an hour before I leave for the hospital. Taking my tablet with me because every time they tell me it will be outpatient or just a day they lie. Have books will travel.


message 11026: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments Cindy, good luck with your surgery! I hope this brings you the relief you desperately need. I will be praying for you! (((((Hugs)))))


message 11027: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (jords) | 277 comments 17:15pm just got home about 20 minutes ago, put all my new purchases away, I went to a bookshop, surprisingly I only bought 1 book. Although I did buy 3 book related badges that were super cute. (I got one that had a cartoon Mad Hatter on it, one that had a picture of a cartoon Jane Eyre and another that said 'Will work for books'
Just finished writing my newest review for my blog and will probably try and finish my book tonight.


message 11028: by [deleted user] (new)

1:21pm. Having a lazy day. I couldn't sleep last night, so I slept from 6 to 11 this morning. Now drinking coffee and enjoying GR. I'm really struggling with reading right now. I can't seem to concentrate on the printed word. I've been watching a lot of baseball with my hub--we both find it very soothing. I'd be lost without my puppy Charlie. It's amazing how much comfort and support I get from him (my hub as well). He's been hovering around both of us, you can tell he's concerned. If I'm really spaced out with grief, he comes over and cuddles with me, or brings a toy to try and distract me. He's such a treasure!

Cindy, best of luck with your surgery. I'm sending you good vibes and positive energy. Hope you can get some much needed relief.

Katy, I'm concerned about you since you haven't posted in a while. Hope everything is as OK as it can be. (Also sending you good vibes and positive energy!)


message 11029: by Holly (new)

Holly | 1184 comments 1:26 P.M. Working my last closing shift for the week tonight. Awesome, but then I have to open tomorrow morning. It's all good though, because then I'm off Friday and Saturday! :D

I hope everyone is having a great day!


message 11030: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 1:45 PM. Hey hey GR! Enjoying lunch, as I have been reading for the last two hours. I got 100 pages read, so I'm hopeful I can finish this by tomorrow. After lunch, I need to do the dishes, start a load of laundry, and maybe go pull some weeds. I'm not too sure what we are going to do this evening, but I plan to get more reading in.

3:55PM Just finished dinner and about to head down to the playground. This weather has been amazing lately. Then I suppose Aeverie will want me to play games with him LOL And that is fine. I will hopefully get more read of Brother Odd this evening. I would like to finish by tomorrow because I have another Book A thon read Left to Die by Lisa Jackson. I love how I am getting through all of these series! YAY!

Ella | 108 comments 8:14pm checking out notifications on GR and checked out a topic in another group and wow..I just left that group. Never posted there..good thing..way too many emotions over there. I like it here! :)


message 11034: by Kit★ (new)

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 345 comments 10:45 p.m watching 'Your Inner Fish' on PBS, this one is about the human/ape ancestors. Last week's was about reptiles and the beginnings of mammals. Very interesting! Slacking on my reading lately, gotta catch back up, maybe will work on that some tomorrow. I had to kick up the heaters, it got a little chilly today, but I didn't want to mess with starting a fire, we've only got enough wood for a little one anyway. So up go the baseboards. Killer on the electric bill they are, but I did switch out all the incandescent bulbs for CFLs all around the house, and it dropped $50 from the last month! I'd be happier if I could afford the LED bulbs, but at $35 for one bulb, that's not gonna happen... :o


message 11035: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments Hey Holly!

9:50 PM. I did some gardening this afternoon, and think I got a little hot. We had an easy dinner tonight, and now Mark is on the phone with his mom. I think once he is done, I am going to get in bed and read. I hope I can read another one hundred pages tonight. It's heating up here in Texas a bit, so we got some Popsicles. I had one and it was yummy. It was nice and refreshing after pulling weeds for two hours. I've almost got them all dug up in the back. The yard is looking good! Some of the seeds I have planted are starting to come up, so I can't wait to see how pretty the flowers turn out to be. I don't have much planned for tomorrow, except for some dishes, laundry, and finishing up The Coffin Dancer. Well, if I don't get back on here later, goodnight GR!


message 11036: by Adrienne (new)

Adrienne It's 11:15am here in China where I'm currently living. I'm off of work sick today, have a cup of green tea, some fuzzy socks, and a new book series to start :D

11:05PM Had a Chicken fajita rice dish for dinner. Always yummy! Passed out my books for World Book Night, I nearly forgot about it till Kay reminded me. After that we went to the playground. Came home and had a good work out, read a bit. Now that Aeverie is asleep I will read a bit more. Brother Odd is a little draggy for me, not sure what the problem is. But I will finish it. Would like to finish it some time tomorrow.


message 11038: by Kit★ (new)

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 345 comments Oh neat, I didn't know it was a book! I've added it to my list, thanks! :)

7:42AM Have to take Delilah for shots today. We are a bit slow on that, but we did not include that into the budget. Anyway we will do that and then I will come home and read.

Chuck glad to hear I am not the only one not enjoying this one. I always go into books with high expectations if I have been enjoying a particular series. I need to stop doing that because sometimes they don't get better and sometimes they get worse.


message 11040: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 9:06 AM. Good morning, GR! I didn't read much last night as I had hoped. I was quite tired, and ended up sleeping. It was probably all for the better, so I can read today. Around four in the morning, I woke up to both of my arms being numb from sleeping on them, and very sweaty. I hate when that happens. The bedroom fan was on, so I'm not sure what that was all about. I hope I'm not getting sick or something. Anyways, I've already had my cereal for breakfast, and I think I'm going to open some juice, instead of coffee this morning. My plan for today hasn't changed: I plan to read and try to finish The Coffin Dancer today. As long as I don't have many distractions, I should get through a lot of it before Mark gets home. Okay, enough talk. More reading. Haha! Happy Thursday, Bookworm Buddies!

7:28 p.m. and I just got home from my daughter's house. Had a good time, but I'm sleepy now. Think I will try to read for an hour or so and then go to bed. Been a little rough the last couple of days. BUT, I am more caught up on my reading than I have been in a long time. :D
