Hmmm, I could see that. I like avocado alone (with salt), regardless.

First I wish I lived close to you and your fiance as none of my friends like board games and I love them.

Secondly a suggestion, any type of baked fish or chicken dish is fairly fast and easy. Coat a baking sheet with aluminum foil and some olive oil cooking spray. Either coated with a nice zesty seasoning (and some lemon juice for fish) or some mayonnaise and parmesan. If it's frozen bake at 350(F) for 20 to 25 minuets on each side for fish or chicken breast tenderloins. If you have full boneless chicken breasts go 400(F). Thawed halve the cooking time.

Doesn't take long and it's good.

Yes. Those are pictures of a hardcopy of a book that was:

A) Offered as a Free Serial
B) Offered as an ebook
C) Is STILL offered as a free serial
D) I have read more than twice

[Nyssa]

I quadruple that recommendation!!!!

I've been itching to order that in hard copy...

Is it trade paperback? Hardcover? Beautiful and smelling like rainbows?!

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

It's a trade paperback. I do love the cover but the inside illustrations are in B&W (I knew that before purchase).

I wish I had a copy of the original cover...

The Kindle/ebook version has the illustrations in color if you have an ereading app for a tablet or your computer.

Oh, I know you do... you were the one who told me. :) I was just following up on what you were telling Laurel.

[Nyssa]

My Winter/Christmas break is officially over (technically it ended yesterday, but I was not scheduled to work today, so...) .its back to work for me tomorrow. Maybe I'll actually get some reading done! LOL
I'm subbing in middle school band..for the next 3 days..this isn't going to be fun.

What book are you all fangirling over? My iPad won't show me!

Dawn wrote: "Felina wrote: "Haystacks!"

Which are... What exactly?"

It's basically all the makings for a burrito but instead of a tortilla you use Frito chips. Beans, rice, avocado, tomato, lettuce, cheese...I really enjoy canned pineapple on mine. Maybe pick up a bag of regular tortilla chips so people can make nachos as well? It's so freakin cheap to do haystacks and they are way good. That was always the go to for church activities when I was little. They go a really long way and you can easily feed close to 35 people for under $30.

Nom nom nom...I'm having haystacks this weekend.

Oh and sour cream. Don't forget sour cream.

That's because the app sucks.

Just announced: Book Page Design Change

Don't let the ugly example pic upset you! All of the Community posts with reveiws are first, and the non-review posts are condensed (like the example pic) at the bottom! Yay!

You can from the people who wrote the reviews... I've never actually paid attention to the shelves of people who didn't write a review.
Plus, there is also the "Genre Box" which is what I use, personally, anyway.

I did. I started following one girl just because she had really colorful shelves. It's just another way GR is trying to keep people from distributing BBA activity.

BBA?

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

Sorry. Badly behaving author.

A lot of people would note BBAs by shelving them - making it easier to avoid running into BBAs. It's been an issue that GR wants to get rid of since being purchased by Amazon. So they are kicking reviewers off the site and making it harder to see that info. I used to use it a lot when I was still dipping my toes in SPA waters. But I saw the writing on the wall pretty early.

So I decided to stop reading SPA books for the most part. Except for romances but only particular SPAs then.

Colleen, I think I'd like the kid...

I've followed a bit about the reviewer and shelving issues. If I ever find need, mine will be called QA (Questionable Author). The only one who would be on it right now, however, is Orson Scott Card.

Sorry, don't know" SPA" either. I obviously need to update and expand my personal acronym index.

Self published author

I'm full of helpful today. :(

Ditto. Which reminds me, I need to pack up all the books of his that I bought before I knew he was a vile human being, and figure out what to do with them. Normally I give spare books away to friends but this seems more like a gift for enemies.

What irks me, is that I found out before ever getting to read Ender's Game. I mean we have at least 2 copies (physical and digital), its one of my Hubby's favorite stories. So now I'm torn as to whether or not I want to read it. I refuse to see/buy the movie, though.

[Chris , cookie guilt]

This is pretty much a non-issue with me (whether to read or not) because I've never been interested in the Enders stuff anyway. I've read some of his Alvin Maker stuff years ago and found it so lacking and mediocre, I never felt compelled to read anything else from him.

So yeah, I'm not torn at all. I've been avoiding him since before I found out I should. Heh

I guess at least if you do read it then no further money is going to him, since it's copies you already own. This is the logic I've used for keeping his books as long as I have, but I find that at this point I don't even want to read them. I just wouldn't be able to get through it without thinking of those views of his I find reprehensible and seeing it reflected everywhere. I read the Homecoming saga when I was about 12 and even though I was too young to pick up on some of the stuff that makes me angry now, it left me feeling... weird.
