I'm with you, Karen. Purple all the way! It's my favourite colour from handbags, clothes to my fingernails and even my kindle cover. I also love hats, so a fab purple hat would be my idea of heaven!

[Victoria]

I love purple!

[[deleted user]]

I agree,purple is so nice. I want more purple things.

[Karen’s Library]

I just bought the newest Nook yesterday and, surprise, ANOTHER purple case! ;)

Glad to have more purple fans! My bedroom and bathroom are all purply plum colors including the walls!! I'm hopeless, right? :)

As long as you don't turn into a purple minion Karen, I think you're safe, lol! Come to think of it, I'm a bit like one first thing in the morning.

My kindle is in a purple case, and your bathroom sounds wonderful to me! If you notice in the photos I linked to in the author sightings thread, I'm wearing one of many purple shirts I own (I brought a stack of them when they were on sale). I also had a purple backpack with me, but it was on the floor by my feet when the photo was taken.

I start junior year tomorrow. *shudders*
I love school, but I hate getting up early and I also hate all of the stress and pressure. I'm going to miss vacation.
Well, here goes.

Good luck... And try not to stress over it too much; you'll be fine!

This is the Phoenix area today. We had what they're calling the 100 year flood. Many of the schools had a "rain" day today. The governor called a state of emergency. Yikes! I closed the office today so staff didn't have to fight the floods, traffic and traffic accidents.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

WOWZERS!! Crazy stuff! We had horrible rain here today, but no flooding as far as I know. We had some of that kind of flooding earlier in the summer.

[Karen’s Library]

We needed the rain, but not that much at once! Our desert can't handle that much water as there's nowhere for it to go. So many people were flooded out of their homes. I was really lucky and stayed cozy and dry in my home. Whew.

[Karen’s Library]

[Victoria]

I hope everything has a chance to dry out before there's more rain!

[Roger]

Oh my, we had one like this in Nashville in 2010. It's tough on people. You are lucky, Karen. Stay safe.

[Daniel]

Ugh, this is annoying.
Has anyone ever had periods when you're reading and all of a sudden, you realize that this is all fiction and that these characters don't actually exist?
It's happened to me several times so far while reading , which makes the book hard to enjoy, and it's making me frustrated.
Any tips on how to solve that?

[Alison]

I've had that before. it does suck. I think that happened to me while reading partials because in my mind i just couldn't believe the story line. I never got into it really, but I did read the whole series. same thing with cinder but then I got super into it. dunno how to did it though. sorry :( not cool.

Congratulations!

[Karen’s Library]

Yay, Oda!!! I love winning books!! I love tearing open the package with the won book in it even more! ;)

[Marla]

Congrats Oda! I love winning books too.

[[deleted user]]

Thanks everyone.
So you guys won any books lately?
Bought any?
... In other news am out of my mini book slump,I read 2 books over the weekend. I`m back in the groove :P

[Karen’s Library]

I won a couple of weeks ago through Goodreads. It's so pretty!!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I posted my most recent buys in the "What books have you bought lately" thread :)

Bought some more online, but I will wait and post when they actually arrive. Sometimes when I'm ordering from outlet stores, they run out of stock or something and the order gets cancelled.

Hey.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Nope that's not weird at all Oda! I do that all the time ;)

[[deleted user]]

..So you having a nice day\morning\afternoon?
I went to the cinema saw Love,Rosie with Sam caflin and Lily collins. Love it.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Nice Oda!

So far so good...slept in, that felt great! I've gotten a cold that I'm badly trying to fight, so feeling pretty tired and a bit dizzy actually today. Cleaned the bathroom, getting out all our winter stuff (BOO!) and worked a little bit in my art studio today. That's it so far!

[Marla]

Autumn has been so nice, but I think Winter has arrived. Sigh.

I'm a library girl, I rarely buy books. Though I am very glad that I bought Drums of Autumn for my Nook, because that is a hefty book to lug around.

I hear you, Marla!! I love books but my wrist and arms get very sore sometimes!

I`m a library girl too.I buy books too, but in the past I have bought books people have praised and they ended up being far from my cup of tea. So now I usually get a book from the library before I buy it,that way I know I wount waste money on it. And that owning it is worth the money.

[Victoria]

I don't get library books that often, because I always get sad when I have to give the books back!

Yeah, I know... I'm weird.

[[deleted user]]

Hey.
How are you guys?
I just found myself sining down in new orleans(tpatf soundtrack) to myself, and this got me thinking.
Which places do you guys want to go to because of litterature?(in the expanded sense,so tv,movies,books,comic books).
Personally I would love to go to New Orleans(tpatf), praague(daughter of smoke and bone) +++

Victoria, I feel your pain. If it's a book I really enjoyed, I have to go buy my own copy!!

Problem is, it's rare for me not to get at least some enjoyment from a book, so nine times out of ten I'll want a copy of whatever I read, LOL!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

First snow of the year! Woke up to white stuff on the ground. EH...I could have gone without it a while longer! We didn't get much, maybe an inch, but its really slick and very cold outside! Minnesota got HAMMERED!

[Katie.g]

Yay for snow! I am curious as to how I'll cope in cold weather after spending 2.5 months in the sun though :/ In reply to Oda's comment (my internet is about to run out and I don't want to buy more), I'd love to visit India because of the book Shantaram. Great topic idea :)

[kynndra-jo]

We also got a good bit of snow here in North Dakota!

[Marla]

We are not supposed to get snow from the storm. *crossing my fingers*

I like snow, but not yet and not when I have football tickets for this weekend. Brrr...

Well, that's probably heading my way...Yesterday and the day before it was actually 60-65! Really nice (and unusual)! Today it's supposed to be 44 and it'll just get colder...

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

That's how it was here too, Lauren. Was in the 60s and pretty nice, and then BAM! Monday evening got colder and colder, then we woke up Tuesday morning to white stuff on the ground and it was 17 degrees!! AHHHH! Still cold here, no more snow yet though!

[Karen’s Library]

I haven't seen snow for years and would prefer to keep it that way. Been there, done that... Moved to Arizona to get away from it. ;)

[Victoria]

We've had some awesome thunder storms, but no snow.

I want snow! I love snow!

[[deleted user]]

Do you guys read books as they come our,or marathon them?
I dont think so much if a book is new or not when I pick it up. But still sometimes I read new books because I want to know what all the hype is about and dont want to wait for more books.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I rarely marathon series...I get tired of it if I do that. I usually break it up with a book or two. Generally, I read them as they're released, but not always. Just depends on my mood!

Hi Everyone:)


People are Accusing Me of Spoiling People For Ensnared
and Writing a Horrible Letter to a Author o.0

I Am NOT Doing Those Things. and One of My Goodreads Friends Turned On Me and Does Not Believe Me

[Marla]

@Ginny - cyber bullying is horrible, I think people are meaner because they don't have to see your face.

I had a GR friend stop talking to me with no warning and I don't know why. In fact we were in a Buddy Read and she spoiled the ending and then never "spoke" to me again. Sigh...try not to let them bother you, but definitely deny it. I don't think ignoring it works in the virtual world, people assume you are guilty. And unfortunately, confronting usually doesn't work either.
