Is anyone else having a problem with the homepage of Goodreads? Every other page seems to be fine, but on the homepage I get an error.

It was running very slow early this am but then it started working fine but it was not just the home page..
Thanks for the reply guys. It's fine now. Maybe the GR devs were updating something, who knows...
haha, poor Christine! Ozzy is far far from my musical tastes....although I loved reading Sharon Osbourne's autobiography a few years ago, that's as close as it gets for me!

I liked watching Ozzy's wife on the Talk sometimes...I like her a little.. her husband... not so much... just think she keeps him grounded a little...wonder what he would be like with out her? hmmmm can you get more ex centric?

We are planning on the first two... Camping and reading.. Most of our children are grown but at least once a year we all go camping.. grown kids, their spouses and kids and grandparents. Last time we went there were 24 of us. lol we rent three spots side by side and all of us tent it up.. no RV's allowed hahahah. We had like 18 tents set up. We take our guitars and fiddles and drums and have a blast. Others join us to listen and some even participate. We do shut it down by 9pm though.
Wow, it looks like you've got exciting stuff planned, whereas my summer will be spent selling every possession of mine that is not nailed down and generally saving money because I'm going to Spain in September for my year abroad. I'm so excited! Not quite sure if I'll be studying or working yet (I've sent off all my paperwork, I just have to wait for replies) but it's going to be amazing and I can't wait.

All your plans sound great! This summer I will be trying to afford a beach holiday somewhere in Europe, or failing that a short weekend away. Other than that I'll be working, reading and finding some free time to spend with my two kids, which usually involves trips to the beach (if we get any sunshine here in the UK) or trips to London, which is an hour away from where we live.Of course wouldn't mind winning the lottery for this summer too!
Denisa wrote: "Does anyone have any awesome plans for summer?"I would love to go to Busch Gardens, Tampa. They have a Tiger Tug-of-War; which looks awesome!!! I want to go back. We went years ago and loved the park; but I don't remember that being there.... :O

Denisa, Chicago is my favourite American city, after Milwaukee. Milwaukee first because my sister and niece and nephew live there. But just love Chicago, small big city if that makes sense.
Denisa wrote: "Does anyone have any awesome plans for summer?"Going to Zurich and then London June/July fingers crossed. Going to visit my brother and sister in law and their new baby in June in Zurich and then onto London to spend time with my other sister. New baby is due early may

I hope you have a complete blast... I would be soooooooooo excited to be going to Spain.

I wentto Chicago twice but I was like 13 years old and it seemed scary to me but I a from a small town in Ok and was raised on a ranch...I can handle a bull but not so sure about big cities... I am happy for you though as it seems to be something you really want and I hope it works out for you... the lottery would be great too.

I love the beach but around here we have lakes lol not exactly the same...Yes I agree the lottery would be great... think of the books we could buy

I have not ever heard of Tiger tug of war... sounds very interesting..Hopefully you will get to go...

yes it makes perfect sense. When I went we didn't get to drive around and see the smaller communities or anything ..
Denisa, even in the city once your there It's not that big. The Public transport system there is amazing and there is a FANTASTIC Irish community so you need to get in with them. We know how to welcome people and show them around

I have never rode on a subway or bus other than a school bus... if I ever come back I shall give you a shout in advance..

Once I know what exactly I'll be doing, I will be much happier, but I can't help wishing September would come around more quickly!

I am very excited for you but "a hmmm, not really excited to push Sept in here that fast " lol... you will keep us updated though right?
Denisa wrote: "I am very excited for you but "a hmmm, not really excited to push Sept in here that fast " lol... you will keep us updated though right? "Hehe yeah, you're right, maybe having September right now wouldn't be such a good idea :)
Of course I'll keep you all posted!

Funny, I have problem with the small communities, but I adore the cities! I have been on the mass transit of most of the major cities in the US. It's not that difficult. If you ever find yourself venturing to a big city, I'll help you out.

ah... thank you... At least I know I have one person that could direct me through...
WOW! There are FIVE group reads here for April! Is anyone planning to read them all? I've got my eye on a couple, but we'll see what April brings. I have so much reading to catch up on in March first! Phew! -_-
Mod
As a Goodreads noob, I have no idea what the difference is between all those things. Can you explain please, Jack? What's a buddy read and a quarterly read and how do they differ from a normal monthly read?
Mod
Ok no worries, me too! Good night!

Being in school and working I can't do them all and the ones I have picked out for me... lol
Well, at least you'll be taking part, Denisa! I look forward to discussing April's books with everyone!
I plan on starting The fault in our stars and Gone next month, not sure about the other monthly reads yet, I'll have to see if I get time
I hope you do, Pink! The more the merrier!
Mod
Our monthly group reads are nominated and voted or by everyone in the group. It as its own thread and two threads fr discussion. Our buddy reads are books that someone wants to read but discuss with other members of the group. It doesn't have to be voted on, just suggested. There is one thread for buddy reads discussions. Our monthly group reads are our main reads and the buddy reads are smaller and are for members who want to read a and discuss a book with a buddy/s. our quarterly read is based on a certain theme.
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Jack :)
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Thanks a lot for the explanation Jack :)
Hey everyone, I'm just checking in to say hello. Hope everyone is doing okay. I'm officially on Easter holiday from work now, so will have even more time to read and spend some time with family of course ;)I have one more book to read for my March book groups - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes then I'm really looking forward to getting started on my new months stack of books - I have visible piles of them on my coffee table!
Does anyone have plans for the Easter period? My 13 year old son is going on a football trip to Madrid for 4 days with his school, leaving me and his sister behind in the UK. No plans for us though :(
For the first time in years, we will have no family in town for Easter. It will make for a nice change. Easter Brunch, quiet afternoon. Looking forward to some peace and quiet.
Same here, just my mum and me for Easter this year. Going out for dinner Easter Sunday evening. Looking forward to it
Pink wrote: "Hey everyone, I'm just checking in to say hello. Hope everyone is doing okay. I'm officially on Easter holiday from work now, so will have even more time to read and spend some time with family of ..."my plans are to simply relax!!!! read!!!! and enjoy doing absolutely nothing..
