8:55 p.m relaxing after a busy day of grocery shopping and house cleaning. Got a re-run of Sherlock on, and oddly the kid is like, glued to it intently. No idea what's up with that, usually if it's not animated he could care less. I'm not complaining though, he's being nice and quiet so I can get my catching up with GR done. Tore through book 2 of the Hunger Games today as well, and already started book 3. Great for my reading, not so great for the reviewing, ha! I skipped em for #1 and #2 because I just had to keep reading! Guess I'll go back to them after I finish. Bought the first movie today at the store too, lol. Will probably watch it here in a little while, though I was also thinking of waiting to watch it until I finish reading the last book. So, I dunno, we'll see.

9:06 p.m. and I don't have to work tomorrow, BUT I am working Sunday. Want to sit up really late and catch up on some reading but I haven't had but three hours total sleep in the last two days. I don't feel tired right now. Guess we'll just have to see if I can concentrate enough to read. Really need to make some progress on GOT. Hope everyone had a wonderful day.

[[deleted user]]

OK, I'm done. Going on a 55 hour marathon now with a grand total of three hours sleep. I'm passing out and waking up whenever I wake up. Goodnight everyone.

[Kathryn]

4:45 AM. Being an insomniac. I've already been up since 3:30 AM and didn't go to sleep until 11:45 AM. Ugh....why?!!

[Kathryn]

See?! I'm tired..I meant 11:45 PM. Lol

[Lucy]

10.49am
Listening to my audio book of Silverthorn while the OH and the almost two year old watch Kerrang on TV :)

Off to town later for my friends memorial :(

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:45AM Had a bit of a good time last night. Went out to good will, bought a ton of books, ate at Whataburger, came home and had some drinks. Danced, sang, and just being silly. Love time with my family. Today I will finish my book. Plan on taking a walk today as well.

[Pierre]

14:47 EST Just came out of the shower after a great day outside gardening. Hard work that is incredibly good for the soul! :-)

My friends memorial was hard today, but I hope he saw how many people were there to remember him.
I've been reading since I got home. Managing an average 100 pages a day at the moment, sometimes more - not a bad thing when I have an almost 2 year old who demands a lot of my attention. Thankfully he's learnt that when Mummy is reading we leave the book alone :)
Instead he picks up one of his and sits next to me on the sofa and turns the pages, poking it pointing at things, saying the words he knows, such as "ball" - which is always followed by "tic it" (kick it) or "tac!" (catch) :D x

4:02 pm
Having dinner with my dad

[Holly]

5:06 P.M. Relaxing today. Took a very long walk yesterday. My feet are feeling a bit better today but the sun burn I got is still bothering me. I did get some books yesterday, so the trip was good on that part. :-)

[[deleted user]]

I think aloe helps with sunburns Holly but double check to be sure.

[Sam]

Best thing I found for sunburn is placing sliced tomatoes on it. Sounds mad but really works.

[Holly]

I have some after sun lotion with aloe in it that's helping a lot. Thanks guys. :-)

Holly one Summer I got a bad sunburn from the neck down to the end of my back, I was in so much pain for about a week, I felt like I'd been paralyzed, but from that day on I learned a lesson, always put on Sun Block.

[Lucy]

11.48am
Just finished Disc 3 of the audio book of Silverthorn, and about to head off, watch a film with the OH and read Eldest :)

[Kathryn]

10:10 AM. GOOD MORNING, GR!!!! Sorry, I didn't post in here yesterday. Friday evening something unexpected came up, so it kind of changed our weekend plans. Mark bought the wood for my bookcases/shelves he is going to install in one of our extra bedrooms! I am so excited! He seems excited to work on them. I've got to get ready to go to my cousin's house. She is having us over for a cookout, and we will be there for a few hours. I am looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to getting back into my book. It is really good so far. :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

10:35AM Sitting here with coffee and my niece. Been talking about books, of course. HAHA Will be starting Cop Town today!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:44PM Been kind of quiet here today! Had a good walk this evening. Started Cop Town today and now I am gonna read more of it.

[Kit★]

10:52 p.m waiting for kiddo to go to sleep. Put him in bed at a little after 10, but he's in there playing with his stuffed animals. One of his monkeys was in need of fixing, missing an arm, and he was in there pulling the stuffing out and tossing it on the floor. I'm like... really?! Sigh. Must've been the three popsicles he got away with today, lol. Wound him up. I need to work on some review writing before I can start a new book, so to procrastinate, I've been catching up on newspapers.

[Kathryn]

11:14 PM. All of sudden, I'm really tired. I'm going to try to read a bit before I get too tired to read. We had a lot of fun at my cousin's house.
We ended up staying much longer than we planned, but it was worth it. Goodnight, Gr...

[Lucy]

12.08pm
Hey Guys :)
I've just listened to disc 4 of the audiobook of Silverthorn and will be heading offline momentarily (after checking GR, obviously!) to continue with Eldest while my almost 2 year old keeps sitting in the cupboard hiding, lol. Him and the OH are watching Pokemon on TV, but the OH is paying more attention haha.
Lazy day today, so should get plenty of reading done. Aiming for at least another 100 pages of Eldest :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

8:01AM A pretty quiet morning here, overcast, and we need the rain pretty badly. Kay's last week of school, and not even though whole week, she is out on Wednesday. She was exempt from exams for most classes except for Geometry and History. had she been exempt from all she would have been done with school on this last Friday. Doing laundry right now, but I plan of reading most of today. Good morning GR!

[✨Susan✨]

Good morning Bookworm Buddies, so much is going on right now it's been hard to check in. My youngest is Graduating, hubbies family is coming to stay for a week and getting packed to leave for Cancun right after family leaves. Yikes, so much to do. My son helped me plant 8 flats of flowers and 10 bushes yesterday. Needless to say my body and hands are paying the price but it looks beautiful. Landscapers are hard workers. Reading His Majesty's Dragon His Majesty's Dragon right now and it's pretty good.

Hope all have a great reading week and congrats to all that are graduating.

[[deleted user]]

Katy, I'm really interested in the natural healing things you are using. I took a supplement last night to help me sleep--it has stuff like melatonin, valerian, and I forget what else. I slept great last night, but you have to take this supplement for a while till you can see the effect. I've also been drinking some "Sleepytime" tea. Hope you're having a good day, Katy.

Kathryn--new bookshelves--awesome! Larry has promised to make me some to go in my son's old room. We are making it into a music and reading room.

Susan, I'd love to see your garden!

12:49pm EDT. It's cloudy and overcast today, we got a lot of rain during the night. I just got home from taking Charlie on our 2nd walk today. Doing laundry, cooked off some bacon because hub will be late tonight so we're just having turkey club sandwiches for dinner. We went to the cemetery again yesterday, the stone is engraved and the fountain is running. It was very peaceful and beautiful. My plan for the afternoon is read read read! Happy Monday all my GR friends!

[Kathryn]

3:27 PM. Good afternoon, GR! I am sitting down to read after cleaning up the kitchen and getting chicken marinating for dinner tonight. I have bad a busy morning, and am glad to be able to kind of relax.

[Katy]

Terri, the supplement may have things like scullcap or hops. You can take melatonin by itself for insomnia - up to 10 mg about a half hour before you sleep. Mostly I'm just taking vitamins, plus the black cumin seed oil caplets I started a couple days ago.

4:49 p.m. EDT Didn't check in for a couple days, just haven't felt social. Plus reading a lot and not wanting to stop reading to do anything else, even write reviews! But I need to write the reviews, so I finally broke down and logged in... I have sores in my lower lip that hurt like mad; they're terribly distracting. It's from the new chemo med, the one side effect that is really annoying.

Lucy, so sorry to hear about your friend. *hugs*

5:51 p.m. and I have spent the last three days reading GOT continuously except for babysitting. I have finished it and still didn't really get into it. It was almost torture to read an 800 page book and still not love it at the end. It was OK, but I don't feel like continuing with the series. Too many people, kingdoms, etc. to follow. Plan to catch up on some other books now.

[Lucy]

11.30pm
Eating prawn crackers and checking GR before I go to bed. Read a hefty 150 pages of Eldest today, no mean feat with my almost two year old wanting my attention hehe :) Less than 300 pages left to finish it now. :)

[Kathryn]

9:00 AM. Good morning, GR! Yesterday was kind of busy, and I'm glad today I can just read for the most part. I have already eaten my breakfast, so now I'm going to get busy reading. The kitties are watching the squirrels and birds, so they are happy. :)

[Alissa]

10:02a- good morning GR!
I'm at work, listening to the rain outside. THe love the sound and smell of rain!!

I'm a little over halfway through with Dreams of Gods & Monsters, and I'm loving it

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:06AM Good morning Good Reads! Having some cereal right now and then I have to do a couple of vlogs! Then I will be reading for the rest of the day! Should finish CopTown tonight or tomorrow morning!

[Kathryn]

1:35 PM. Good afternoon, GR! I realized after I posted earlier I need to do lots of laundry. I've already washed about three loads, (well, the third one is in the washer, lol), and I have been reading between loads. I need to get the dishes done soon, as well. I had lunch, and I'm going to get back to reading and keep up the laundry. :)

12:40 pm
Good afternoon just got through having Arby's for lunch classic roast beef sandwich, curly fries, and a Pepsi to drink YUM:) My mom and I are over at my sister's house waiting for my nephew to come home. My sister is out of town until tonight so we have been taking care of things for her here. My mom just left to go get her car washed. I plan on reading in The Book Thief while I wait.

I've heard so many good things about The Book Thief, I think I might try it sometime.

[Ruth Noemi]

2:22PM.-Just got through washing the dishes after a long night/morning. Trying to catch up on GR, and on my reading.:)

[Corey]

3:24 pm Just went out to Wal-Mart and bought the movie Lone Survivor, it's one I'd seen in the theaters and I just had to buy it and add it to my movie collection. In a little while I'm gonna help my Mother get dinner ready, we're having spaghetti and Italian bread, MY FAVORITE! And my Grandmother will be coming over to join us.

[[deleted user]]

5:17 p.m. and I finally finished GOT yesterday. It didn't really appeal to me that much and that kinda bummed me out some since the reviews are fantastic. Just too much to keep up with. Kinda felt like I was reading a college level history book of sorts. I plan to cook dinner, take a shower, and read for at least a couple hours tonight. I need coffee bad! Been cutting back on my caffeine intake, but I might have to break down and fix some coffee.

Cindy my mom is addicted to iced coffee, she likes the caffeine because she's not a morning person, LOL!

[Alondra]

7:16 p.m. So tired, or maybe just really sleepy. I feel like I could just sleep right.... zzzzz

A good cup of coffee should take care of that :D

[Corey]

Sitting on the couch watching Kitchen Nightmares.

[Pierre]

20:55 EST Thunderstorm and rain. I love stepping out on my balcony, sheltered by the roof overhang and watching the rain come down while thunder is breaking and lightning is striking. Beautiful and strangely soothing.

[Kathryn]

Pierre, you're like me. I love storms. For me they are relaxing and soothing.

[[deleted user]]

I love when I go camping and the rain hits the tent. No thunder and lightning out in the woods. Had a friend who got hit by lightning while camping one time. She was OK. Some pretty bad burns and a couple of skin grafts.

[[deleted user]]

10:26 Think I'm gonna read for another half hour and go to bed. Still no word on the grandson :(

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:26PM Had a great work out and then hub took us for some ice cream, I could not finish all of mine so I saved it for later. Been reading most of the day and would love to finish this book this evening, so we will see.

Cindy I am sorry you did not like GOT I did not either, but at least you finished it!

[[deleted user]]

It was a bit of a beast to finish, but that's OK. We're not going to like every single book we read.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

So true Cindy!

Regular black tea steeped actually soothes sunburn as well.
