Good morning, friends (It's morning here in Indonesia) and it's raining since dawn. I just want to lie in my bed with hot chocolate and reading a book, but instead I have to go work.

The goodreads Android app needs a massive update... can't view spoilers, or see/add book covers, add a profile comment, or answer the challenge question when sending friend requests. Have to use the browser instead :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh dear. not good :(

I agree for the app it is not really that good:( It is also really hard to mark a book as read and add the rating, reviews etc...

Tell me about it!!!I keep waiting for the app to update, but it doesn't happen! I hate to go through the currently reading shelf to mark a book read. But it is one of the most used apps on mobile, unfortunately!!

I shouldn't moan about temperature since some of you are going through polar vortex, but my fingers are turning blue!!! And it's only 12 c outside!!! what will have when we go through another cold wave?? :'(

[Greta]

Stumped. Have no idea what to get my mother in law for her birthday.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh dear, I'm going to have that problem in a couple of weeks as well :(

[Greta]

Just bought her a stained glass window hanging.

[María]

A book maybe? I give that to mine last christmass...

I like math but I don't know much about it because i didn't have math in my last years in highschool and then I studied languaje an literatura at the university...
But it seems fascinating for me (maybe because i don't have to study it!)

For unknown reason, I thought it only happens with my phone :D They seriously need to upgrade it!

I live in PA too :D It was so cold for days! I'm glad it's no longer in the negatives. That was awful!

That's definitely something to be proud of! My son is currently reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and he's in 4th grade too :)

It's very funny in a strange way! LOL

Has anybody else ever won a giveaway and then never received the giveaway prize? I won one in September, but I never received the giveaway prizes. I feel like I should post something on her blog about never receiving what I won (I sent many emails and she stopped responding), but I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do. Any suggestions?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I had several like that. I just gave up in the end. I think I'm still waiting for at least 6 that I can think of. Was it a publisher sponsored prize, or was it one that she was doing herself?
I had one where the girl had paid for it through book depository, and they hadn't shipped it because it wasn't going to her home address. She emailed them and they fixed it.

It was one that she was doing herself for her blogoversary. I feel like I should call her out on not delivering her giveaway, but I also feel like it's rude for me to do it. The thing is, she got a lot of new followers by doing the giveaway and then she never pulled through. I feel like people should know that she didn't give out what she said she would, but again, I feel rude making it public. I don't know what to do.

Wow!! The last book came out when we were in 10th grade, and we were waiting so eagerly!!! Back then, every year came with the promise of a new HP book! *sigh*!!!

So did she contact you at all? is she still blogging? have you tried contacting her through goodreads or twitter or something?

[samyam]

uff!!!!!!!!i am doing everything from the morning except for the homework!!!!!!doesnt matter anyways!!!!!!!!!!!why waste time when you have so much to do and so much books to read????

She responded at first, but then she started ignoring my messages (which I sent through both GR and email). She's still blogging too.

[Mei]

That's a bummer, Jalyn! Might be a fraud. Have you tried asking the other winners if they experienced the same thing?

It sounds like she has no intentions of sorting it out at all. You could try leaving a public comment on the blog and see if it guilts her into sorting it out. not a lot else you can do though really :(

[María]

That's awfull. She must deliver what she promised

I won a giveaway here on goodreads last year and I never received the book. I wrote to the publishers and they never wrote me back.

I'm still disappointed and a tiny bit angry about it.

I wouldn't know how to contact them...

I think I might try that. I still feel mean doing it, but it isn't very nice to have a giveaway and not deliver the prizes.

[Jalyn]

I wish she would! :(

I had that happen on gr too, but I sent a few messages saying that it had been so long and I hadn't received my book. They actually sent it to me after my third message.

So this is Random share. This is pretty random what I'm about to say what I'm doing. I'm watching videos of the people you tried out for American Idol and weren't good singers. Some of then really funny and some of them you feel bad because they went on national television and made fools out of themselves.

[Tara]

Here is my random share! My own books. :) I would LOVE feedback from readers of YA novels.

My trilogy name is 'The Forgotten Origins Trilogy'. The first two books are available and I am currently writing the third (to be out by March)

"Bloodline' is only .99, so pretty painless if you end up not liking it. :)





The most common feedback is that they are hard to put down, so very quick paced.

Tara

[Tris]

@Once is American Idol starting today again? I love that show!

[onceuponatimeareview]

@Tris it is? We don't have T.V :,(

[Beatrice]

I'm really excited for Saturday. I'm going to Gayle Forman's book signing event here in my place. :) I'm gonna meet some of my GR friends

[Mei]

Aw, you're soooo lucky Ate Beatrice!!! Is it the one in Glorietta hosted by NBS? Veronica Rossi is coming soom, too!

That's why I never tried out for things! I was always afraid I'd make a fool of myself (and I probably would have). Lol

[Jalyn]

@Once Upon A Time, now that I think about it, I did do something to make a fool myself while singing. When I turned 21, my friend (who is a girl) took me out with another friend of hers (who is a guy). She kept buying me drinks and then talked me into getting up on stage to sing "Picture" by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow with her friend. I agreed and I went up on stage, but I only made it through the first verse before I chickened out and ran off stage. I really don't like to be the center of attention and I still can't believe I even got up there to begin with!

oops!!! at least you sang the first verse!!

I am totally irritated right now!! I just logged into my FB account and everybody's status contains some spoiler of Sherlock E3!! Grr.......!!

[Greta]

Bugs me that all my favorite shows are on hiatus until March :(

[Keith]

Random Share Guys! I just finished reading Mitch Albom's The First Phone Call From Heaven. :) will read now Kelly Favor's Under His Command, the 17th book on her For His Pleasure series. ;)

Yes it's the one hosted by NBS. I'm going also to the one with Veronica Rossi too. (Though I've met Ransom Riggs and Tahereh Mafi)
