If that's the case,I would think that is way more impressive. :)

Sometimes I like having the same books nominated in more than one group. But it gets old after awhile.Choices I like choices.
LOLI'll be drinking my salad tonight!
Tomorrow I celebrate my 28th anniversary! :)
Congratulations Charlton!Have a Happy Anniversary!
Do you still visit Booklikes?l still prefer the group here and am not really into review blogging, so haven't been there myself.
Mod

Pet peeve: "I literally hyperbole, hyperbole, hyperbole...."

Don't really know where you are,but that hurricane seems to be doing some damage. You be careful.
Oh....it's not bad here, at least not yet. I'm in northern Delaware right now. We'll have to see what we get. Delaware is funny about the weather, because of the bays.

We got a bunch of rain, but we're safe in south Georgia. We have some family south of us in Florida without power, so helped them get a generator, showers, and pizza.
Glad to hear it.Nothing like that here. Still just wind. Though the beach is evidently getting hit by more, from what I've seen through my FB friends.
I feel like I'm spending more time in the game (Forsken World) than in real life. I wake up around 7 am but the rest of the day is just blurry, like I've been enchanted. I remember cleaning, shopping, running and feeding animals but all rest is just a game. I'm even seeing someone from the game and sure we dont talk only in the game, but I still count it under a game.
Done with university, trying to find a job.
Hello Lara.Funny I feel like I spend my life at my job.
I even dream of it. Bad dreams, though.

We put down one of my dogs today :( poor boy only got diagnosed with cancer on Wednesday (and still doing fine on 3 legs), by Saturday he couldn't stand up.. Luckily I got some pics with him and the family on Thursday and we got in lots of snuggles in on Christmas Day. Sad but I'm glad he went quickly
Mod
It' hard to loose a pet. They truly are part of your family. I'm so sorry.

A Dog for Jesus
(Where dogs go when they die)
I wish someone had given Jesus a dog.
As loyal and loving as mine.
To sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes
And adore Him for being divine.
As our Lord grew to manhood His faithful dog,
Would have followed Him all through the day.
While He preached to the crowds and made the sick well
And knelt in the garden to pray.
It is sad to remember that Christ went away.
To face death alone and apart.
With no tender dog following close behind,
To comfort its Master's Heart.
And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn,
How happy He would have been,
As His dog kissed His hand and barked it's delight,
For The One who died for all men.
Well, the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine,
The old pal so dear to me.
And I smile through my tears on this first day alone,
Knowing they're in eternity.
Day after day, the whole day through,
Wherever my road inclined,
(Three) feet said, "Wait, I'm coming with you!"
And trotted along behind.
Rudyard Kipling
So sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved dog, Margret. Glad you could enjoy Christmas with him. It's so unbelievably sad when we lose our furry kids, but we can still cherish the wonderful memories we have of them. :(

What a lovely poem, Tnkw01! Thanks for sharing.
Wow thank you so much everyone, and what a lovely poem! I'm glad to hear so many other feel that intense connection with animals as well :) we will have to give lots of attention to our Chesapeake Bay Retriever cause she's got no other pup to run around our acreage for a while
My uncle got a parrot for my aunt but she doesn´t want anything from him so he wanted to give the animal to me. I don´t know what´s with people around me; everytime they get an animal they don´t want, they´re: "let´s give it to Lára", it´s like I´m an animal shelter. I already have two parrots and my canary is so grumpy with those two around, so I don´t need a third one. I also have a rabbit, fish and snails. I used to have mice before :)Anyway, I got addicted to Lord of the Rings Online game. I actually started playing like 3 days ago (playing an elf hunter) and the map/s are so huge that I´m constantly lost. Even better, it seems like I´m on role playing server and I´ve gotten some invitations to role play. It´s not so hard to get used to it, it comes quite naturally :p but it´s taking most of my free time, since I just can´t let myself be lost in Middle-Earth xD also there´s never the end to quests. and I must admit that questing during the night or storm bothers me but I still don´t know how and if there´s a way to avoid it.
Me and my beloved also play MMORPG Forsaken World (I´m playing an elf warrior) and while I´m not lost there, I certainly need help to advance.
So ... I managed to read only 106 books this year and while I do read some books at the moment, I don´t think I´ll finish them before January. I´m definitely going to read more next year! I´m particularly looking forward to February´s book of the month (Janny Wurts)
