10:17PM Just video chatted with my niece, that was so nice. Have not read a whole lot today so I think I will read some before bed.

LOL Alondra I agree who does not have King novels!!

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Hey y'all! I love how American I feel when I say that hehehe! I've really missed you guys. Sorry I've been pretty much MIA this year. Started a new job recently and it's very busy so not a lot of time for reading etc :/ I don't know how I'll go with the other threads, but I'm going to try and keep up with this one because I've missed talking to you all (y'all)but I find trying to keep up with every thread is a little draining!

Awww Corey - don't give up! I remember being devastated because the day I was old enough to get my provisional license was a Saturday and I had to wait until Monday... longest couple of days of my life!!

8:07AM Enjoying some coffee right now and breakfast soon. I plan on finishing Release today and then gonna start I was a Teenage Ghost Hunter, and hopefully that one will go better for me.

Shell so happy to see a post from you! How awesome. I do understand how life can get busy and we don't always have the time to do everything we want. How is your reading going?

8:33PM Just got home from Walmart I went along with Cort and Amy. The Boys played well today and really protected Romo. Great game. Gonna read some before bed. My second review book was only 4 chapters and then a link where I can buy the book to show support, um when an Author wants you to review their book I think they should give you the whole thing. *smh* needless to say I wont be buying it.

Amanda (amandainpa) | 19 comments 10:50 am. Just finished a few more chapters of Six Years by Harlan Coben...I am flying through this book. Getting ready to head to the library to see what books they have for sale and to possibly check out 1 or 2. Then I'm going to meet my husband for lunch.

Ruth Noemi Rojas (httpwwwgoodreadscomcollinss66) | 33 comments 11:54a.m. I'm waiting for my last class of the day to start. College is not how I expected it to be, but I know that God has my back.

5:36PM Just had spaghetti for dinner, will work out once Amy gets here. Got a lot accomplished today, namely got our house insurance changed! Hallelujah It is a lower premium which will make our house payment lower and back to normal!

Amanda what do you think of Six Years? I enjoyed it quite a bit. Let me know what you think of it.

Ruth I hope college is going ok for you! I am sure you will get used to everything over time.

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 345 comments 6:41 p.m trying to gear myself up to go clean the shower. Had the excuse when I cleaned the rest of the house the day before yesterday because I didn't have shower cleaner, but now I do, so gotta do it. Sigh. If I feel frisky, I might sweep the floors again, darn bits of fallen leaves keep sneaking in...


message 12514: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller 7:37 p.m. Code Zero by Jonathan Maberry is up for giveaway.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Good luck for those interested. I already own it.


message 12515: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Thanks Janie :) My reading has been a bit slow this year just because I have been so busy. Some of the books I have read though have been fantastic so that makes me happy :) How about you?


message 12516: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (amandainpa) | 19 comments I just posted a review Janie. I liked it, I definitely love the writing style and the way he builds mystery around the story. I just wasn't as interested in the plot in the second half when things became clear (trying to be vague). I guess I expected it to go in a different direction then it did, but I am definitely looking forward to reading more of his books!

7:22AM The kiddos, Kayla and Aeverie rode the bus this morning. Wow 80 degrees yesterday and about 40 degrees right now. YIKES! So now it is pretty quiet so I can read and get this book done. I am enjoying this one though thank goodness. My other 2 review books UGH.

My reading has been going well Shell. I have had a good year this year on reading. That always makes me happy. Have you read Mr. Mercedes yet? I have not, I have it on my kindle, but for King book I would rather have a physical copy to read.

Amanda, so glad you liked it. Did you do a review for Booktube or just Good Reads? I like everything that Coben has done. He has a good young adult series as well.

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Is anybody starting "Revival" Stephen Kings new one?


message 12520: by Martha (new)

Martha I agree with Janie, Corey, don't give up! DMVs can be frustrating- we all know that for sure!


message 12521: by Martha (new)

Martha Work has consumed me lately, but I got my promotion, so I can breathe a little easier now (except at work- got more responsibility). All I want to do now is get back into reading full bore! Just finished Sophie Hannah's two books, "Little Face" and "Hurting Distance", and really enjoyed them! Have a hankering for mystery/thriller/detective series now.

11:55AM Took a little half hour nap LOL It helped a lot. I felt my eyelids drooping while reading. Waiting for our power tower to be delivered today. My Son had ordered it. It will be an essential part of our work outs.

Susan as soon as I can get ahold of Revival I will read it. I also need to read Mr. Mercedes as well. I look forward to both of them.

Martha I love Mystery/thriller! One of my favorite genres to read along with horror.


message 12523: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Big congrats Martha! Be very specific and we may be able to suggest some that you maybe interested. Again grata!

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Jannnnie. I'm 1/4 way in and I'm alone in a SK book. Eeeek. Let alone an epic. Whaaatt?...Ohh.No. He's in my head! "Danger Will Robinson Danger".

7:29AM Will be a quiet morning here but I always look forward to them. Gives me some time to myself. I want to finish my current book today so I can move on to the next. No plans for today so I pretty much have the whole day to read.

LOL HAHA Susan how you doing with that book? Are you enjoying it?


message 12526: by Holly (new)

Holly | 1184 comments 7:39 A.M. Another day of work but after today I have the next two days off....finally!

I haven't read in the past couple of days, so I'm looking forward to catching up with that.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Can't wait to get the book. I have been hearing good things about it.


message 12529: by Janelle (new)

Janelle | 347 comments 5:02 p.m. At Children's Hospital with mini Me. She had an asthma episode but they aren't calling it asthma. Long story short we'll be here until tomorrow. Going to try and get into Salem's Lot. This hospital reminds me of a S. King story. I got lost a couple of times coming from the cafeteria so that was exciting. ..lol.


message 12530: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments So sorry Janelle, hope the babe is doing better. :)

Speaking of Stephen King, Janie, I just finished Revival. I have mixed feelings, the review is going to be a tough one.

Janelle that would be a great S K book. A ghost hospital. Ooohhh. Now that's creepy.

2:48PM Had a quiet morning, planning to go out to dinner this evening at a nice mom and pop restaurant in our small lil town. After that going to watch Malicifient. Looking forward to that one.

Janelle I hope the lil one is doing better now. That has to be scary for a kid to go through and hard not to be stressed out.

Susan I just want to read it. LOL I am sure it will be a tough one to review since you have mixed feeling on it. I will read it once it is posted.


message 12532: by Holly (new)

Holly | 1184 comments Hope your little one's better Janelle.

2:57 P.M. Catching up on some much needed reading......don't want to fall behind again!


message 12533: by Janelle (new)

Janelle | 347 comments 9:28 p.m. Thank you for the well wishes. We are home and about 75% better. Meds for the next week should bring us to 100%.


message 12534: by Holly (new)

Holly | 1184 comments You're welcome. Glad to hear that you're home.


message 12535: by Janelle (new)

Janelle | 347 comments Susan, I'm going to look for Revival at the library. We have a Nor ' Eastern coming so I need to make sure at least one Stephen King book is safe. Lol.
Janie, yes. Very stressful for me but the hospital did a great job to keep her happy. I think she misses being waited on. Lol.

10:30PM Had a nice time out for dinner. Gonna get a bit more reading done before bed. I would love to finish this book tomorrow, so we will see.

Janelle I so am glad you are home and she is doing better now. I will keep y'all in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

2:50PM Finished my latest review book, The Fifth Vertex, and I quite enjoyed it and my review is up. We will be going out this evening for some more family time. So it should be a nice evening.

10:44PM Had a nice evening out and now I am beat. LOL I did start my next review book, Traceless, and so far it is really good, it is a mystery so that is a plus. So maybe another good one for me. Just glad to be getting these done.


message 12542: by Corey (last edited Nov 16, 2014 02:34PM) (new)

Corey | 1411 comments Hey everyone sorry I've been so quiet the past week, I've been super busy, my Mom and I have finally got my Grandmother in a Nursing Home, it took her a while to accept it but now she seems to be settling in, she still has her moments but that's to be expected. We just got her apartment cleaned out and the stuff we didn't keep we donated to Goodwill, this has also been good for Mom because she's not running back and forth, and my Grandmother's in a safe place.

I got my permit test in a couple days, hopefully for sure this time, LOL! Anyway good to be back on Goodreads, I've missed talking to everyone.

5:44PM Been a relaxing day today after a busy couple of days. My son Derek ordered us pizza for dinner and we watched some football and I got to read as well. Getting back to my book now.

Corey glad to hear you got your grandma situated. It is sad to have to place our loved ones in a home, but also a stress reliever at the same time. I hope it works out in the log run. Good luck on your test.

8:03AM Well we did get flurries last night so we had a little white this morning. Temps about 35 right now. So a wee bit chilly. Going to read and finish my book today. Then just 2 more review books to go. YAY!


message 12548: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Good morning. I hope everyone has a good week! Janie, how did you get 35 degrees. We are still at 24! Man.

Reading Wayward drinking peppermint tea and getting ready to go out and brave the cold. Lots of stuff to do for my sons wedding on Saturday.


message 12549: by Alissa (new)

Alissa Patrick (apatrick12211) 10:00AM. It's snowing!! I don't love snow, but I don't hate it as some people do. I live in Buffalo, NY- it'll snow from now until at least March-April, it is what it is. ;-) I never was one to complain about the weather because there's just nothing you can do to change it! I just hope everyone is safe when driving.

I'm almost done reading The Glass Castle- I have never read it before and I am really enjoying it. I'm listening to the audio of The Year of Fog while at work.


message 12550: by Corey (new)

Corey | 1411 comments Good Morning Goodreads, getting some snow here this morning, I'm not a snow fan but I'll admit it's good for the Holiday Season. I'll be going to the gym in about an hour and then I'll do some studying for my Permit Test before taking it tomorrow.
