I cant really remember because it was a long time ago. But I do remember it had nice weather because every day my family would go for walks and the park a lot. And that they had a nice park. We went everyday.

[Meagan]

That seems really nice! (Sorry to jump in...) I wish it was warm, so far spring hasn't sprung quite yet.

[Jessica]

When is spring? I thought we were in summer already.

[Meagan]

Well for me anyway, spring was suppose to start on the 20th. But maybe its different for different places, I have no idea haha.

I really hate when you watched a really good movie and then years later you remember it, want to watch it, but can't even remember the name to it.

[Meghan]

That happens to me with books too.

I hate to interrupt the conversation but I have a question: How do I get others to come and read the writings that I have posted -- poetry, short stories, etc? Thanks for the suggestions in advance!

[Meghan]

Sorry i can't answer your question Melissa I don't know much about writing on goodreads. And speaking of sorry you don't have to apologize you're not interrupting anything

[[deleted user]]

Thanks, Meghan! Since I'm still pretty new here I have done a lot of exploring today and I think I'm starting to figure things out a little more. Well, I THINK so anyway! haha! I'm having fun though and that's the most important part! :)

[Theemmaolsen]

Yeah when I joined it was sort of overwhelming at first, but now I love it! As for the writing thing- I wouldn't know but maybe you could find a group of writers and you could share with them?

[[deleted user]]

Thank you! I'm trying to explore and comment on others' writings as well .. maybe that will generate some interest for them to come look at my poetry and short stories. Ya never know?

[Theemmaolsen]

No I get it! If someone was to comment on something I had written I would certainly check them out!

[[deleted user]]

Thanks! I probably read more than I actually write. I haven't written anything NEW in a while but went through some old stuff and posted under Creative Writing. Even if no one ever comments I am still having a blast reading other peoples' posts, comments, etc. Love Goodreads!

[Theemmaolsen]

Me too! My favorite part is the reviewing and recommendations. I like telling everyone what I think, and I also continually struggle with finding books to read.

[[deleted user]]

Well, I try to tell my husband what I think but he never listens! HAHA!! I know what you mean though. I try not to take any comments that I may receive on my writing personally -- as long as it is constructive criticism I welcome it!! I have tons and tons of paperbacks that will take me forever to read! I just love books!

[Theemmaolsen]

Oh same! I'm reading one right now called Shiver and I just love it because I feel like it's an escape. That's why I love books.

[[deleted user]]

Me too on the escape thing! I admit though, I have been here toodling around more than I have been reading though! haha!

[Meghan]

Shiver is so good! Maggie Stiefvater is my favorite author of all time.

[Theemmaolsen]

I know right? I'm only on page 60 or something but it's still good and sooo descriptive.

[Meghan]

Maggie's writing style is just so lyrical. i love it.

[Theemmaolsen]

I agree! Are the other books in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy as good as Shiver?

[Meghan]

Yeah they're all good. Plus she's writing another book about two of my favorite characters, one of whom isn't introduced until linger so I'm thinking you don't who he is.

[Theemmaolsen]

Cool!

[Amanda]

So anybody go see Divergent yet? I'm going tonight

[Theemmaolsen]

I'm going this weekend with my best friend!!

[Theemmaolsen]

I think pretty soon...

[Amanda]

Divergent was epic. It stayed mostly true to the book.
