11:44 PM EST. My family and I had a little barbecue out back today and enjoyed the June weather by grilling up some burgers and hot dogs. It was yummy! I finally got around to watching Logan this weekend. It was really good, but sad at the same time. I finished reading , it got better towards the end. Now I'm reading , it's really good. A graphic novel about Kurt Cobain. I don't like the cover art too much, but the art on the inside is awesome. I've always been a big fan of Nirvana, I wish this book had come out when I was sixteen.

Got a busy week ahead. Hope all of you are doing well.

8:16AM Another day at work, this will be 3 closing shifts for me in a row, it is certainly a drain that is for sure. I am trying to get some reading done. Working on HP and the Order of the Phoenix. It is good so far and I am over 200 pages in, so I will read from now till work.

Hi Dan, I always liked Nirvana as well. Glad you are enjoying your reading.

[Andrea]

10:00 AM...I am just sitting at work trying to not feel sorry for myself. Saturday at the pool has left me sunburned and miserable. Why I didn't put on sunscreen is still a mystery to me. UGH. I am also trying to figure out what I want to read next. I think it might be in the mystery/horror genre. Any suggestions???????????

[✨Susan✨]

NOS4A2, The Doll Maker, The Kind Worth Killing. These were all really good.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Oh yes! NOS4A2!!

[Dan]

1:07 AM EST. Burning the midnight oil again. LOL! i just finished reading Who Killed Kurt Cobain?: The Story of Boddah, I loved it. Now about to start reading Vampire Zero.

It's definitely starting to feel like summer.

Andrea, Susan and Janie made some good suggestions. I have two that you might like that, according to Al Sarrantonio, "every true horror fan should read". Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural and Dark Forces: New Stories of Suspense and Supernatural Horror. They are anthologies, but I liked the first book l listed a lot (haven't gotten around to reading Dark Forces yet).

On my last two book reviews that I did, there is no Like button you can hit after I finished them. Why isn't it there, can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong?

[Andrea]

Thanks for the suggestions Susan, Janie, and Dan. I will see if I can get my hands on one of them.

YW...Andrea, the ones I recommended are worth reading. And there are writers in there that are not regulars of the horror/suspense genre who delved into other genres and created classics. I showed my mom ( who does not like horror at all ) Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural, and she was shocked to find some of her favorite authors in there.

[Dan]

8:46 PM EST. Had a decent day today. Except...

*IF YOU ARE SKITTISH OR SENSITIVE TO THE SUBJECT OF ANIMALS IN PAIN/DYING DO NOT READ THIS POST ANY FURTHER*



This afternoon, I drove past an accident where a woman had accidentally hit a deer. When I drove past it, I saw cop cars driving in the opposite direction to respond to the situation. The deer was still alive and looked like it was in pain. I AM BY NO MEANS A VEGAN, AND HATE SELF PREACHING VEGAN/ WHACKED OUT ANIMAL RIGHTS PEOPLE...I mean THAT IS IF THEY PUSH THEIR AGENDA TOO FAR IN YOUR FACE. If a person does that, then THEY ARE NOT HEROES, they are just SELF RIGHTEOUS ASSHOLES WHO LIKE THE SMELL OF THEIR OWN FARTS!. I am against animal cruelty too, and being a vegan and having certain beliefs is totally cool. But some people are ridiculous with the animal shit.

Anyway, I'm rambling cause of some of the people I've encountered who started fights ( verbal arguments ) about me saying shit about cats and dogs being abused...blah blah blah. I've eaten venison plenty of times but felt bad for that deer today because I saw the pain in its face. And then I went home and ate a tasty burger.

[Andrea]

4:40 PM....I just finished up reading Carrie and I am currently hunting for a new book to read. I am going to the lake this weekend so maybe I can find a thriller revolving around a lake. LOL.

[Victor]

3:43 PM I got my license today and now I'm driving to the bookstore of course!! And of course I'm not on my phone while I'm driving

Congrats Victor!

[Alondra]

9:34 p.m. First of all, congratulation Victor!! You are such an awesome young man.

It has been a rough week at work. One of my favorite patients lost his battle with cancer. I usually don't mention work related issues or patients; but I must mention him. His first visit was in a wheelchair. He was grumpy, irritated and had just about given up. 2 months after treatment started he walked into the office on his own, determined to fight. He keep fighting up until the last month. This past month, the cancer progressed. He lost his fight; but was a trooper until the end.

This job is emotionally tough, but I would not trade it for anything. #cancersucks

[Victor]

Thanks Alondra and Andrea! I'm sorry to hear about your patient. My uncle was just diagnosed with cancer it's very rough

[Alondra]

Thanks, Victor. It is what it is. We do the best we can, with all the hope possible. Cancer is not a death sentence like it used to be. Thank Goodness.

I send all the prayers in the world to your uncle and family.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:01AM Sitting here drinking coffee and preparing myself for a long day at work. I feel like I have been hit by a Mack truck too. Had a good day off yesterday. We celebrated Father's day since Kay and I were both off. So he had a nice little party, we grilled out. It was nice.

Gratz Victor, well done!

Alondra I am so sorry to hear about your patient. Cancer does stink! I am sure you helped keep him going. Bless you!

[Dan]

9:48 PM EST. Reading right now.

I celebrated Father's Day today with my parents, my sister, and my grandparents and we had a nice dinner together. I showed you guys the card I did a month ago for my Dad's birthday of the Jeff Dunham "Achmed the Dead Terrorist" puppet cause my dad's a huge fan. Well, for Father's Day, I made him another card done in colored pencil like before, only this time it was Jeff Dunham's Walter puppet. It made him very happy, which made me happy.

Alondra, really sorry about your patient. My grandmother, currently 89, was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer about a month and a half ago. When I saw her today, she looked a bit more sickly than she did two weeks ago. However, she seemed to be in good spirits. It's been very hard for everyone in the family, especially my Mom.

If Cancer were a person (or some other creature...it'd most likely be some type of monster...LOL), I'd tell it what an asshole it is and beat it to death with my bare fists.

Again, Alondra, my condolences. Sounds like you did all you could to help that person.

Anyway, other than that, today was a good day. Our Father's Day dinner was really good, my mom is an awesome cook. And we all had a good time.

[Ruth Noemi]

1:03 AM- Listening to music and just thankful. It's been possibly the worst month of my life, but I'm still standing strong!! I am currently loving the books I am reading. I am reading Sarah Dessen's new book, Once and for All. It came out on the 6th of June. And then I also asked my librarian for a recommendation and she picked out Private by Kate Brian.

Alondra, my condolences! Prayers for you and yours and for the family of your patient.

Thank you, Dan! So far, it has!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:02AM Is t his week not over yet? Oh wait it is Monday. Been working the past few nights so really Mondays don't matter much to me anymore. LOL Just trying to play catch up with my reading, it is not working out for me. I am still reading HP and the Order of the Phoenix. Normally I would have gobbled it up already, but work has definitely gotten in the way. Oh well just grin and bear it I guess.

Hi Ruth, sorry you have had a rough month! Hope thing begin to look up for you.

Glad you had a good Father's day with your Dad Dan, that is awesome.

[Alondra]

Thanks, everyone; that is so sweet. My patients are awesome.

Ruth, I do hope things get better for you.

[Alondra]

3:58 p.m. Wondering why I have not won the Lotto yet????

[Dan]

Thanks, Janie.!

6:17 PM EST. Just sitting down to eat dinner. Anyone else watch that season finale of Better Call Saul last night? That whole episode was crazy. LOL. I love that show.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

8:59AM Well trying to prepare myself for another day of work. All these night hours are killing me. And Alondra I second that....why have neither of us won?

[Cassie]

If y'all, Janie or Alondra, win the lotto....will you share??? Lol

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

LOL Cassie! Well lets worry about that when the time actually comes!

[Ruth Noemi]

1:55 AM-Another night that I am up late. I'm really trying to fix my sleeping schedule. I am trying to get into my books. I find Netflix and music more appropriate at the moment, though. Does anyone ever read with music playing softly in the background?

Thank you, Alondra and Janie!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:21AM Oh Blessed day off! LOL I am gonna enjoy today although I do have to grocery shop at some point but I can handle that. Anyone else off today?

Ruth, I can't read with music unless it is just classical instrumentals and such. If it is something I can sing to, forget it LOL

[Dan]

5:28 PM EST. I'm sitting here hanging out with my cat, Whiskers. He's fifteen, and he's had cancer for over a year and a half. I have to take him to the vet to get put down tomorrow.

[Ruth Noemi]

12:18 AM-I am up taking advantage of the fact that I'm enjoying my book! Man, it has been a long time since I've had the chance to get into a book completely. I already have the second book because I am feeling very nostalgic with this series. It reminds me of the series that got me into reading. So thankful for perky librarians that know how to give good recommendations!

Janie, LOL! I understand. I'm the same way. It has to be completely quiet for me to study/read.

Can anyone offer some advice on how many hours to work when you are in college?

[Victor]

12:17 PM and anxiously waiting for my job interview to start at 1.

[Dan]

9:34 PM EST. Sitting here reading, going to watch the season 2 premiere of Preacher at 10.

We didn't have the cat put down yesterday. It's happening tomorrow afternoon.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

6:34AM Getting ready to head into work this AM> Corporate will be there. UGH. We are having a reset done on the store and a remodel. Kind of exciting.

I hope the interview went well Victor!

Dan I am sorry about your cat. Our pets become such big parts of our family! It is always hard to lose them.

[Ruth Noemi]

7:25 PM- Getting into my book, Private. Watching a show that I haven't seen in a while and then during the commercials, I read.

[Alondra]

[Alondra]

9:54 p.m. Sending care, prayers and love to Dan's kitty, Whiskers. He will be at the Rainbow Bridge running free, with my daughters kitty, Tonks.

Victor, I hope you got it!!!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

8:07 AM Sitting here enjoying a day off. I am so gonna finish HP and the Order of the Phoenix today! YES!

[Corey]

9:49 PM Hey everybody, I have some big news, I have a Girlfriend! I like her a lot, she's a very sweet girl, she's a little older than me but we don't see it as an issue, as long as we're both happy, which we are! Couldn't wait to tell everyone! I was always afraid I would never meet a girl or be happy. I mean we just became a couple this past weekend, so we're just taking it slow for the moment, but like I said we're both very happy!

[Janelle]

Congratulations Corey! I'm glad you are both happy! Summer luvin'!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

6:08AM Woot a very exciting day for me and family, my sis and her family are going to be here this evening. They are driving from Indiana, they are on the road right now. They have been driving about 2 hours so far, it is a 14 hour trip, we have not seen them since last summer!

Gratz Corey! I know that is exciting for you!

[Janelle]

Janie I hope you all have a great time!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Thanks Janelle! I have to work first, get off at 4. They won't be here till probably about 7. So looking forward to it.

[Alondra]

9:58 a.m. I won't be as active in this group as before. Maybe, once in a blue moon. Really busy at work and at home, ugh!

I do love you guys, though <3

I'll miss talking to you Alondra. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

[Alondra]

I will still be on GR; but just not as active in the groups.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Aww I feel ya Alondra, I feel like I am hardly here anymore myself. Love you too. take care, and check in from time to time to say hello!

[Alondra]

Janie wrote: "Aww I feel ya Alondra, I feel like I am hardly here anymore myself. Love you too. take care, and check in from time to time to say hello!"

Yep. Life is busy for all of us, Janie; and updating gets harder and harder. I automatically pull up GR at home, but just lurk a little or add my books. :O

(at work now... HA!)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I am actually off for today and getting with Susan at the book store, so it should be a good day.

[Janelle]

Sounds like fun Janie!
