What time is it and what are you doing?
Gratz Kyle on your writing!
Wow Alondra that is quite the endeavor. I bet if the book is good enough, you can do it no problem!

Good Luck with that. I know I can't still enough for that.
4:27 Was at the hair salon, did some food shopping, and fumed over my car - battery died ( thank goodness its parked). Now, I am going to read a bit until my mom and sister come by. Its non stop over here. smh
4:57 p.m. EST Had hoped to stay awake through the evening and read all of Cold Day, but I'm sleepy, so I'm going to take a nap. Clearing out e-mail first!
5:17 PM and I am being even lazier than normal. Working the closing shift tonight and decided to say hello. Been checking in all afternoon but didn't feel like commenting. Been reading Nothing Lasts Forever, and I am really hoping to finish it tonight at work. I am also hoping it is slow so I can. Boss is gone and I brought my kindle.
Christine, were you asking me? Cold Days is the latest Harry Dresden book. Armageddon, Harry's beat up a bunch, the normal type of thing. Love it!10:11 p.m. EST Just dropping in to add more quotes, clear out more e-mail, and add a few notes to my review before I finish the book. Tomorrow will be dedicated to finishing up the ABNA reviewing and writing a guest post for a friend's blog. Monday... back to editing! It was a nice week off!
10:21.My house is quiet now. My family has left and cleaning up. Afterwards, reading and lurching around GR
10:48 p.m. EST Just finished clearing out e-mail. Anticipating hubby home soon with snacky things; I gave him my PayPal card so he could buy groceries. Now off to finish my book! I think tonight we'll break out the raspberry mead and maybe watch a movie or two, once I finish the book that is...
10:20PM and the house is no longer quiet. LOL Grandbaby and daughter are hear and they are playing ball with the pooch. Watched Pitch Perfect, was a great movie! Had my coffee, now checkin GR and soon to read some more. I would still like to finish this by tomorrow.
3:11 a.m. EST Finished with my Dresden Files read with a day to spare. Later today I'll be doing my final 28 ABNA reviews. Right now, hubby and I are planning to open a bottle of raspberry mead and watch a couple movies. Good times!
Kyle, awesome news on your writing!
4:04am EST. Back with my old pal insomnia. Went to bed at 1am, now up for day. Waiting for pain and nausea meds to kick in. (As Bob Dylan said, "my weariness amazes me.") Getting ready to read--I'm trying to finish at least 1 of my current books before Heartsick buddy read starts Tues. Also have started my first book reading on the laptop. It makes me think I'd like a Kindle after all. (Never thought I'd say that!) Time to make some coffee and lose myself in some good fiction. Hope it's a great Sunday for everyone!

10:45am ET. Of course, 1000 pages were not read; but I did actually get some reading done. Enjoying coffee, GR updates and ready for things to get bloody again in A Dance With Dragons.
10:50AM Ugh I wish I could get my days straight. Hub working on weekends now has throw me a curve and I am still trying to get used to it. Grandbaby here this weekend but still gona try and read today. Wanted to finish Song of Susannah today, but I am not sure that will happen.
Terri I could see having a Kindle, but I love books too. I am sure I could equally ration it out lol. I have a ton of books on my kindle App, but have not really read too many of them. I read them like in between buddy reads sometimes.

12:46pm just bathed my dogs!!! Hubby is about to go on a 40 mil bike ride, I will stay back and shower and read! In-laws house later.
2:32 PM. I've been doing laundry, cleaning, making a grocery list, planning meals for the week, and now I'm going to eat a quick something for lunch, do a load of dishes, get ready to head to the store, and then hopefully have enough time to get back to read before we have our Sunday family dinner. And, I'm listening to Al Stewart....my second-favorite artist of all-time. :)
Busy busy Kathryn! :)
2:41PM Waiting on Hub to come home. Gonna make a trip to Subway for some dinner, and taking grandblessing to the park. He is uber excited about that. Today is rest day from Insanity so a day at the park will be a nice fill in.

11:27 p.m. EST Finished with my final 28 ABNA reviews! I can possibly read a short novella, although I have one I need to finish first. But I start editing on the morrow! Once the manuscript is sent, that is; the last e-mail from the author he forgot to actually add the document... OOps!
10:45 PM. SO WORN OUT!!! Cleaned house, washed, dried, and folded or hung up about seven loads of laundry, ironed one load out of the seven, grocery shopped, dishes, cooked and cleaned up dinner, and have been sitting on my butt for about an hour because my feet hurt....Hoping and praying this week is a great week for everyone! Going to brush my teeth and read a little in bed...if I can stay awake.Goodnight GR! :)

1:26 a.m. EST Just downloaded the few NetGalley books I had scheduled to read that weren't archived, since my Kindle is apparently completely lost. *sigh* Means I have to read them all in less than 2 months or I'll lose access to them, but at least I have a chance. Unfortunately one for which I owed a review week after next is just ... no longer available. My husband has a Tiger cat standing on his shoulders very happily. It's adorable...
7:30AM I decided on no nap. LOL Grand blessing still sleeping so I figured I would finish my book this morning while he sleeps, since I did not finish yesterday, almost though lol. We were up late because he had a late nap. I was dog tired getting kay up this morning and wanted to lay back down. Oh well a little quiet time before laundry. Good Morning GR!
Kathryn, I'm exhausted just reading about your evening last night!
9:43am EST. Just sitting down to relax with GR and then hitting my books. Still enjoying morning coffee. Got up at 4am and have gotten a lot done. Laundry finished. Dinner made and simmering. (Doing chick BBQ again per request of hub and son. It's actually good, because the recipe is just in my head and the last time turned out so well but I wasn't sure I could duplicate it. Turns out I can!) Puppy napping after his morning romp. Feeling good today, hope you all are too!

9:03 am. At work wishing I was still in bed with my kitties Gizmo and Pepper. Hoping today goes quickly because I need a nap already. Haha! Hope everyone has a fantastic Monday! :)
Naps are good no matter when they are taken!1:26 p.m. EST (yes, almost exactly 12 hours later) After a nice, long sleep, I'm clearing out my e-mail and then I'll be editing the latest for Scott Rhine. His first horror novel! I'm so stoked!
12:31PM Wow the morning goes fast. Wrote my review on Song of Susannah. Another good read in the DT series. Grand blessing watching Open season 2. I am checking in here and will prolly play some games on line while I do laundry.
Katy so true Naps are good regardless of when you take them. They can be so refreshing.
Kathryn have a good day at work. We miss you over here!

1:45 p.m. EST Just finished clearing out e-mail and now I'm ready to edit. Will be checking in maybe a couple times a day while I'm focused on that.
1:07 PM and I am enjoying my day off. Read a short story today and will start a new book tonight. Hope everyone is doing well, and I also hope everyone has a great week ahead.
3:20 PM here in the Lone Star State. I'm seriously considering trying to write some stories and publishing them via a blog or something (if they're decent). If any of you guys have done this I'd be interested in reading them.
I have several, lets say attempts. LOL Mine are on quotev I am still wanting to upgrade my blog so I can move them there.
3:36PM and working on dinner. Also gonna squeeze in a quick book before tomorrow by Alyson Noel. She is a YA author. I read most of first series, then they just started getting way out there. Read the first 3. But now she has a small series on the main characters sister who died and the book is her experience in the afterlife through her eyes. So I thought it would be interesting.
Christine, I'm going to read Stephen King's Rage. I have read all the other Bachman books and my library had a collection if them. Rage was in it so I will finally be able to read this book that is out of print. Hope you are doing well and thanks for asking.
5:10 p.m. EST Just taking a quick break to clear out accumulated e-mail and say "hi". Editing... this book is awesome! Clean and Floss to be published by Scott Rhine once we have it all done. If you enjoy comedic urban fantasy, you won't want to miss it. I think it's somewhat related to his books The Redemption of Mata Hari and Foundation for the Lost, or at least in the same universe. I know I'm enjoying reading it! Even if I have to read it with my "editor hat" on.
8 p.m, catching up after being away from the computer all weekend, having a drink, watching Tom and Jerry cartoons.
9:20 p.m. Another quick break to check e-mail and request hubby bring gas-station cappuccino to take me through the night!
Janie I got the Bachman book collection from the library. I'd love to have the book for my collection but since it is out of print anyone selling one is asking a huge amount for. This way I can at least read it. I'll start this tonight when I head to bed. 8:34 PM and I'm relaxing on the couch with my wife. She is knitting, I'm checking in on GR and we are watching our own Psych marathon with our DVD sets. Love that show. Hope everyone is having a good evening.

Chuck here is my profile page, you should be able to click on any of the stories there. They aren't really that good, but they were fun to write. I would really like to get them moved to my blog. One of these days we will get my blog upgraded.

11:08 PM. Not doing so great. I've re-dislocated my shoulder again, which means no martial arts for a while and also that I probably will not be going snowboarding this weekend. Well, I'm going to the doctor tommorow to see what he says.Right now I'm jumping back and forth between 11/22/63 and 30 Days of Night Omnibus, Volume 2.
10:27PM Had a great work out, visited with my charming oldest daughter. And now here to check GR. How was everyones day?
Dan hope your shoulder will be ok.
