message 5401: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments That's far away! I've wanted to go since forever ago and it's pretty much all I can talk about, so I hope boyfriend will give in soon ;) We talked about going somewhere this fall, so yeah..
Have you been traveling a lot? :)


message 5402: by Tati (new)

Tati Not really. The last time I traveled abroad was 2012, when I hopped around London, Brussels and Amsterdam.

Such a big world, so little time LOL


message 5403: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Well it's something!

I know right? :D I was in Berlin, Lübeck and another small German town last year. My mom always says that you should travel before you get kids and stuff, so...that's what I'm doing! ;)


message 5404: by Tati (new)

Tati Yeah, I've been to Berlin twice (have family there, so I don't need to stay at hotels, which is very budget-friendly LOL)

Now I really want to go to those three cities (Prague, Vienna and Budapest), but I'm going crazy trying to plan it


message 5405: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Yeah, I hate planning trips like that, I usually leave it to boyfriend to do :P I just mention a couple of things I'd like to do. Are you going by yourself? :D
(Although with Paris, I have to admit, I have everything planned already ;) )


message 5406: by Tati (new)

Tati Yeah, I'm going by myself, as no one else has vacations at that time.

So much to figure out, flights, where to stay, train passes... And, of course, the money issues


message 5407: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments *sigh* Yeah, it's amazing how much work there's in going on vacation. Ironic!


message 5408: by Katelyn (new)

Katelyn (callmekat) I'm currently an emotional WRECK after finishing Fang by James Patterson. But other than that I'm great. Kinda really bored though. o:

Samia Ruponti (snoebell92) | 451 comments I just finished The Ruby Circle and I feel like like! this is the last book of the series! :'(

Oh dear, it's not nice when series you really like end ☹


message 5413: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Going to get some things done at the dentist today. I always feel like I'm about to die because of the...ehm...thing that makes you not feel anything. Don't know the word, sorry :p


message 5414: by Tati (new)

Tati The anesthesia? Have you ever mentioned that to your dentist?


message 5415: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments It's more that my anxiety kicks in whenever I feel any kind of numbness :/


message 5416: by Tati (new)

Tati Aaaaah. You could try gas sedation (I used it when I needed local anesthesia, and it worked like a charm)


message 5417: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments For some reasons that I don't know, we don't really use that anymore here :s

Ok, I'm officially on a diet! I've gained 15 kilos in just 6 months!


message 5418: by Tati (new)

Tati Here, gas sedation is the latest news. How weird is that?


message 5419: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
I'm on a diet too, my new scales are crap though. I wieghed myself the other day and I was fat. got off the scales, put on my jeans, belt, jumper, and picked up my kindle - I'd lost 1.6 pounds! How many kindles do you think I need to hold to be skinny? Shit scales.


message 5420: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Okay that's weird! Haha


message 5421: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Crazy Sarah! You can't trust the weight :p


message 5422: by Tati (new)

Tati Gotta say, it's awesome, you get soooo calm LOL


message 5423: by Heather (new)

Oh dear! It's never good when you're reading a book you don't like!


message 5431: by Samia (new)

Samia Ruponti (snoebell92) | 451 comments Congratulations Heather!!


message 5432: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments I've been browsing ebay for the past four hours. Not kidding. :|

I've been shopping too. found this really cool website that did fondant icing cutters for tiny prices. Bargain heaven ♡


message 5434: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Oh well... Girls well be girls ;)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
I have a slight shopping addiction.


message 5436: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Got myself some things as well :)


message 5437: by Samia (new)

Samia Ruponti (snoebell92) | 451 comments i'm watching cricket world cup 2015. i can't seem to stop cursing at the TV!!! the match is soo frustating!


message 5438: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments I'm starting to get really annoyed with all the BRs where people never show up. I can deal with people not wanting to read the book anymore, or if they're sick, made other plans etc., as long as they just tell me in the thread or PMs or whatever. Ugh, I'm just so annoyed right now.. /Rant over


message 5439: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Scott | 2367 comments I feel your pain Irene!! It's so annoying when people don't reply. I always try to PM people before we're due to start, then I can read other stuff instead of whatever I was going to BR if they don't reply


message 5440: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Yeah, and then I go to see Wanted thread and see people searching for buddies two months ahead and I'm like "dude, you don't even show up if we plan two days ahead!" (I don't know if it's the same people, it's just the feeling :) ). Maybe I should start to take notes on who I'm reading what with when, so I can PM them as you do..

It can get annoying when you don't hear anything at all! I wish we could do more about it.

Me too, but I don't really see how :/


message 5443: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments The messaging beforehand is a good idea. It might just have been that they forgot, so the message will remind them. But if they don't reply, then you know they probably won't participate in the buddy read, and you can read something else.


message 5444: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
I just make a note of who hasn't turned up, if they miss 3 with me then I don't offer to buddy read with them anymore.


message 5445: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Yeah, I think I'll do that from now on :)


message 5446: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
I just got sick of people not turning up, and it's usually the same culprits. I pick them up when I'm going through old threads, I'll find up to 10 threads, all started by the same person, and none of them actually used.


message 5447: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Yeah, I think I'll make a note from now on :) Thanks guys. Some days it just gets too much you know :)


message 5448: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
yep.

Yep, it's completeley understandable to be annoyed by it!


message 5450: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Omg you guys, I just got the title as 'editor' on a new Danish publishing company!! It's on a voluntary basis and so I don't get paid for it, but still! This is the beginning of a dream come true <3
