10:53 a.m. and I have a lot to do before work. Clothes to wash, lunch to cook, and a shower. Plan to get some reading in between chores but it probably won't be a lot before I go to work. Definitely want to finish The Time Keeper sometime today. It is a really easy read. Listed as 224 pages, probably 100 of them blank. Lots of white space in this book. Have a great day everyone!

[Jordan]

5:20pm just got home from placement, got asked to stay for an after school club! Feel so privileged haha!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

12:13PM I got to read a bit so far of Look Again. Need to get a bit more read. Would like to read more that just 50 pages today.

The Library table arrived today. So my library is complete, everything is moved. YAY!

[[deleted user]]

1:28 p.m. and I have 45 minutes before leaving for work. Got the clothes washed and shower in. Working on lunch and still have to take the dog out. Plan to read just a tiny bit before work.

Janie - I am so happy for you! Nothing like getting your library completed!

[Chris]

12:33PM I am working the closing shift tonight so I will be around. It sounds like a rough weekend for some and I am so sorry to hear that. I actually had a really good Sunday. I was off of work so I got some stuff done around the house and got a good bit of reading in.

Victor, I can sympathize like so many here. We have been in your shoes, but I think things are so much rougher on kids your age than they were when I was in school. High school was the worst 4 years of my life, but College was great. It will get better. I am also available if you ever need to talk. Sometimes it might help to have a guy to guy chat.

Janie, that is exciting to hear about your library being complete. I do hope you post pictures I am looking forward to seeing what you have been talking about.

[Dalu]

2:36 pm, just got back from college and having a little late lunch.

[Katy]

2:26 p.m. EST I ended up falling asleep shortly after Dmitry left for Atlanta, but slept fitfully. I did NOT finish the book I started - only made it about a quarter into it - but it's a really awesome book: The Last Werewolf. The language is ... wow. The story is dark, violent, but it is SO well written. I'm loving it. But it's now time to edit, so I'll just be reading it in bits and pieces until I'm done with my editing for the week. First to clear out my e-mail, and then... Apex Predators.

[Holly]

3:30 p.m. Little one's taking a nap. About to take a long overdue bubble bath. :-)

[Kathryn]

3:52 PM. Right now I'm listening to some music, cleaning up a bit before I work out, and feeling a bit down today.

[Victor]

Thanks everyone! I have it all figured out so everything is going better.:) Your all really good friends:D

[Kathryn]

Victor wrote: "Thanks everyone! I have it all figured out so everything is going better.:) Your all really good friends:D"

Glad to hear things are looking up. :)

[Katy]

Sorry to hear that you're feeling down, Kathryn. Hope you feel better soon.

Victor, glad you're having a better day!

5:31 p.m. EST have been doing some detail work on this editing, searching for extra spaces, certain key words that always show up and need fixing, things like that, but I'm having trouble focusing. Think I'll take a nap and hope I'm more alert later!

5:45PM Getting ready to get into my workout in about 15 min, then will enjoy some coffee while watching The Voice with hub. Then will tackle some more of these 3 books I am reading. Not sure why I have 3 books going together, that is so unlike me. Black, Look Again, and For One More Day.

[Alondra]

Kathryn wrote: "*passes Alondra a D-R-I-N-K* ;)"

I just saw this!! hehehhe.... Thank you, Kathryn :D

@Katy; anything that makes our life easier, has a catch...

8:54pm. Going to bed early, after leaving work at 5pm like I promised myself I would. Now to shower and read for at least an hour. :D

[Victor]

8:16 PMGot out of karate. What a good work out. I feel good right now:D

[Kathryn]

8:46 PM. I made some delicious baked lemon pepper fish with mushrooms, broccoli cheese rice, and steamed squash and carrots for dinner. I had a great workout earlier, and I'm trying to decide what to read since I haven't been able to get into Black. I'm trying to decide if I should keep working at it, or come to the realization I may not be in the mood to read it or something, and try something else. I really want some cookies and cream ice cream....even though I had a workout. I feel better than I did earlier today. Talking to my sister in law and a really great friend put things into perspective for me. Now if I could just figure out what I should read and get some ice cream, life would be grand. :)

[Chris]

Cookies sound awesome Kathryn. I need to get the stuff so I can ask my wife nicely to bake them. :-)

8:50PM and I have 10 min till I am off of work. I am starving and can't wait to eat some dinner and watch Castle when I get home.

[Lucy]

2.55am

Trying not to go to sleep while I read Harry Potter Book 5 and watch the wrestling x

[kisha]

10:04 I'm about to watch django unchanged then start a book not sure which one.

[Shell]

11.31am I haven't been online much for the past few days and I've missed you all! I was sorry to hear that you've had a rough time Victor but it's great that things have improved for you and that you're feeling much better now :)

Glad you're feeling a bit better too Kathryn. I'm in the same boat as far as trying to figure out what to read! I'm tossing up between these four... The Dead Zone, Interview with the Vampire, Around the World in Eighty Days and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

[Kathryn]

The Dead Zone!!! It was so good!

[Katy]

Kathryn, I never much cared for cookies & cream ice cream, but Kemps used to make a wonderful chocolate-chip cookie dough frozen yogurt I just loved. Sadly it is no longer available and none of the others I've tried are as good. I can't eat actual ice cream as it makes my stomach unhappy.

10:14 p.m. EST that could have been a better nap. I was just falling asleep when Tiger did his trick with the toilet and I had to reward them. Then I was again JUST falling asleep when Dmitry arrived home, but I refused to wake up enough to talk to him and he ended up coming to bed before I acknowledged I simply was not going to sleep as well as I had hoped. Oh, well. E-mail and then editing, normal Monday night!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

10:00PM Had my workout, shower, then the Voice, now sitting here on GR patiently waiting for little one to fall asleep. No nap today, he played outside for a big part of the day, had his bath and still seems to be going strong. Hmmm? LOL

Kathryn dinner sounded scrumptious! I plan on fixing some Tilapia fish tomorrow night. And speaking of cookies and cream ice cream I had some of that this evening. I am not huge on ice cream but once in awhile I will eat it.

A bubble bath sounds so good right now!

[[deleted user]]

Victor and Kathryn just made my day! Both are feeling better. I love to here that!

[[deleted user]]

11:50 p.m. and just got home from work. Had to train yet another person tonight, so I didn't get any reading done at work. Why can't companies pay people good instead of recycling help in and out all the time? Cheaper in the long run to just pay good help. Training costs lots of money. Oh well, not my company. Excited to be home and really want to dig into my reads!

[Sarah]

Where do you work? :)

[[deleted user]]

I do security work at UPS. It is contracted out so I work for a private security firm.

[Sarah]

Ah! Sounds sorta fun. I'm still in high school. No job yet. It's a full time job in itself trying to keep up with stuff and do things outside of school.

[[deleted user]]

It can be fun Sarah or stressful, or tiring, or just plain boring at times. For the most part, it is pretty good other than the pay. I can barely remember high school, but I remember college well. Keep up the good work and get that diploma!

Ah, but that would be looking at the long run instead of instant gratification. Logic doesn't work on these greedy bastards.

3:53 a.m. EST Taking a break from editing to clear out e-mail and it's almost time to check for today's freebies on Amazon. Hubby woke up an hour early, so is off picking up a few things we're out of, then today is his 2nd day in Atlanta. He's taking a class from an old friend of mine, someone with whom I worked back in the early 00s when I was at Dairy Queen corporate, before I met Dmitry. So hopefully we'll renew contacts!

Good morning, Bookworm Buddies!

[[deleted user]]

I absolutely love looking for freebies on Amazon. I just started doing this about a week ago and already have 55 books. And yes Katy, companies rarely do the things that actually make sense anymore. Short term goals and to hell with the long-run. Have a great day everyone! I'm gonna do some reading for a while.

[[deleted user]]

Victor, glad things are looking up for you. Count me as another person to look to should the need arise to vent a little...As I remember, high school sucks a whole lot.

Hope you're enjoying the library, Janie!

Lol at the beard, Katy. The 2nd picture was great. Your blue eyes are amazing!

11:27am Tues., having a blah day and can't find the motivation to do much. Still drinking morning coffee, maybe I'll try to read and see if that helps.

[Kathryn]

10:54 AM. Finally hungry for breakfast. Feeling better today than I did yesterday mood-wise. It is overcast today and I have heard pretty chilly. Makes nice weather for reading and coffee. If only I could figure out what to read. Lol.

Terri, sending you hugs. Miss you around here!

[Chris]

10:57AM and I'm at work, it is dead slow so I am getting a good bit of reading in. I am hopeful to finish this book today so I can write the review already.

Kathryn I am so glad you are in a better mood today. I hope things only continue to get better for you. Good luck picking a book, I'm not sure what I'm going to read next either.

Terri, so glad to see you are posting again. Sorry to hear you are still having a blah day. Maybe you should add a little baileys to that coffee. :-) Just kidding, hope your day improves as well.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

11:09AM in the middle of fixing myself some swai fish for lunch. Aeverie is enjoying Toy story. Gonna read some more of my 3 books. LOL

Kathryn Dark Curtains by Evans Light is free on Amazon right now for Kindle. it is a 41 page short story, was a pretty good ghost story.

[[deleted user]]

You know what's funny about this Janie? A while back you had made the comment that it was hard for you to read more than one book at a time and I said that I always read four or five at once. Well, I've been working really hard to get to the point of reading only one at a time and you seem to be doing the opposite. It's just a little humorous when I think about it.

[[deleted user]]

LUNCH! Thanks for the reminder Janie. I actually do forget to eat sometimes.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

LOL Cindy IKR? I don't know why I am reading more than one. I guess because I was already reading Black and I did not have a chance to read Look Again before World Book Night which is today. So I wanted to get a start on reading it so I can promote the book better. And yes it is a good read. Then I found For one more day at Dollar General and was curious, so I picked it up and started reading it. Enjoy your lunch Cindy!

[Katy]

Cindy wrote: "I absolutely love looking for freebies on Amazon. I just started doing this about a week ago and already have 55 books."

I've been picking up freebies at Amazon for almost 2 years and have literally THOUSANDS. When I find an e-book in which I'm interested, I put it on my wishlist, and if someone doesn't buy it for me, sometimes it'll go free and I'll grab it then. I check the list every day. Have picked up a couple entire series that way.

Terri wrote: "Lol at the beard, Katy. The 2nd picture was great. Your blue eyes are amazing!"

Thanks! The weird thing is they usually are more grey; no idea why they look so bright in that picture. I guess it was the lighting or something...

3:43 p.m. EST Managed about 6 hours of sleep. Wanted more, but just could not stay laying down. My hips are really badly lately, and sleeping makes them scream. I wake up every hour or so to flip over, which isn't exactly restful. Anyway, clearing out e-mail and then hopefully I'll manage to hit my stride today with this editing. I really should have more done by now, but there are a lot of details and the original editing was really bad, so lots of things to clear up. Onward!

[Kathryn]

2:49 PM. About to start some laundry, do a load of dishes, and then workout. It feels great to be working out again! Or maybe I will read a little beforehand. Decided to read The Fault in our Stars with Cindy. Already through chapter one, and liking it so far.

[[deleted user]]

1:50 p.m. and I'm getting ready for work. Really hope I can make it tonight. Feel REALLY bad and I need to apologize to my GR's friends for not being on here much last night and today. May be asking my boss to come home. Sorry folks, I will be back as soon as I am sure I'm not gonna just fall over and not get up.

[Kathryn]

Hope you can get some rest, Cindy!!!!

[Kathryn]

12:55 PM. I have been reading most of the morning. Stopped to fix myself some lunch: a peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich and some baked Cheetos. After I finish, I need to get some laundry going, do the dishes, workout, and who knows what else! Think I will read a little more before my chores, though.....haha

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

2:07PM Been addicted to Farm hero sag on FB. Sheesh what is wrong with me, I should be reading instead. LOL Would like to Finish Black today and then finish Look Again tomorrow and complete my trio read with For One more Day on Saturday. So we will see if my plan works out here.

[Katy]

3:53 p.m. EST NOT sleeping enough and NOT making fast enough progress on this ms but just staggering around trying to figure out how to make things work... so tiiiiired but just lay in bed for hours awake. Blargh. Clearing out e-mail and then editing...

[[deleted user]]

6:30 p.m. and I left work early. I'll put it nicely - I couldn't remain at my post. So, another officer replaced me and I came home. Not really sleepy or anything but I'm certainly not going to push myself. Want to do a little reading but I might end up laying down. Hope everyone is having a good day!

[Kathryn]

5:29 PM. Trying to convince myself to workout....it's not that I don't want to, but I want to continue reading...argh..
