* We had a white Thanksgiving. Just snow covered grass...I like snow when it's fresh and just a few inches. But when it's dirty and half melted or come February, I'm just done with it.* I hate waiting for next books, so often I read the first book and then wait until a couple of books are out and I read them in spurts. I rarely have a series marathon read (except when the last Harry Potter came out and I reread the whole series). So I read them a couple at a time, but I like spacing out series. Cuz either I'm savoring the experience or I get tired of it and need a break.

Regarding reading books: I read them one after another if they're all available and I have copies of them all, but I don't worry too much about rushing to read books so I can read the new release that everyone's talking about. Sometimes I'll jump on the band waggon and be eager to read a new release (like with David's books) but mostly I read what I want in my own time, and I haven't even read most of the popular new releases, and don't plan to read a large number of them to be honest; some of the books everyone thinks are great don't sound so great to me, and I have loads I want to read already, so won't add books I'm not bothered about reading to my to read list.Regarding cyber bullying and online friends: people just don't seem able to help themselves. It's like they think because they're harder to identify with being online and not in person they can get away with more. Humans can be spiteful sometimes, and childish too! I lost someone I considered a friend because we disagreed about something stupid and when I said for us to just agree to disagree she didn't like it; I was supposed to just agree with her apparently. Then she decided she'd let me agree to disagree, but she was annoyed with me for disagreeing with her in a public place (comments section of her blog) instead of sending a private message. So I said I was sorry, and she said it was too late to apologize and I was being childish, then she refused to speak to me any more. She was twice my age, and the last thing she told me was that I was being childish. *rolling eyes* I was annoyed and upset for a bit afterwards, but was eventually able to see that if she could toss my friendship aside over something so stupid, then she wasn't really someone I wanted as a friend anyway.

Sorry Ginny. :( I've known you for a long time and you've NEVER spoiled anything for me or talked bad about anyone. I would take Victoria's advice above. Shake it off and don't let it get you down. You have lots of friends!

I probably wount read mine,but thinking about it big and going to try to finish a couple of books by the end of the week,so then I kinda will Reach my goal more.
My goal was 300, but I dropped it to 290 a couple of weeks back after a few dry spells put me a good way behind on my goal. I'm now 1 book away from the 290 goal, so I just need to finnish the book I'm reading now to reach it. I only started the book this morning and am already 71% through it, so that shouldn't be a problem; might even get it finnished tonight.
I'm 2 books away! I should finish the two I'm reading by tomorrow night. Ack... tomorrow night??! Yikes, maybe not.
Wow guys way to go! Wish I could read that many books!! My goal was at least 40new books. Ready 54 new books and 65 books all together!
Great job everyone!Well, I did it... Reached the 290! I'm thinking I should thank David Estes; it was his book that was counted as the 290th...So....Thanks, David!
I finished it last night!!! WOOT!!
Still want to finish one more book today, though, my X book for the A-Z challenge.

Sitting by a lit fire with a book sounds nice!My day's been OK. Done some reading and writing, as well as housework; wish I could get a house elf or some brownies or something to come and do the housework for me, but so far I've not had any luck.
I've been working in my art studio today!! Having a great time!
Here's one journal page I finished today: "Never Stop Exploring" working on 2 more.

My latest book "Yua And The Great Wizard Hunt" was officially released today!I don't usually post about my book releases on other threads, since I have one in the author space for posts like that, but this one is special to me. I originally started writing it when I lost my West Highland White Terrier, Keroberous (Kero for short) and I've dedicated the book to him.
Here's the synopsis:
"When Yua the talking West Highland White Terrier fails to stop his master, Gwydion, from being wizardnapped, there’s nobody to help him look for his lost wizard. That is, until he meets Lattie; a small girl with a big heart, and a secret she didn’t even know she had.
Why was Gwydion wizardnapped? What is Lattie’s secret? Most importantly: can a small dog and a little girl answer these questions and rescue a wizard all by themselves?"
