Random stuff and chit-chat
That's how I am with milk. My mom got me on skim when I was little and I won't drink 2%.
Same here, WinterRose! Internet high five?
Come to the dark side, we have cookies >:)

NICE!!!!
What're you talking about? The moon is in the night, the dark, and naturally, it is made of milk.
Elvina wrote: "What're you talking about? The moon is in the night, the dark, and naturally, it is made of milk."Are you saying that to me???? Sorry I just didn't understand who's question you were answering to.
Hey some people think the moon's made from cheese, I don't see why it can't have lakes of milk ;)
So it wasn't out of place or interjecting rudely or anything?
Abigayle wrote: "Come to the dark side, we have cookies >:)"Yes, yes, cookies and the Darkling )))
Good morning! Where can I join the Dark side? ;D

That sounds like a great way to end my day ;)
Natalia, this is going to be a strange question but... do you, by any chance, remember if I finished my S&B, S&S re-read that I did a couple of weekd before the official re-read started. For some reason, I can't remember. Oh my poor brain ;P
@ Cari: No, I don't remember you saying anything about it. I just knew you were rereading them. Lol, Cari, don't you use bookmarks? And that's why I like the GR updates option. To track my own progress, as well as my friends', and discuss.
Im rereading S&S now and I'm going slow this time.
Thanks, Natalia. I need a better system. You are right. Also I need a cover for my Kindle. The last one got hit by something and, while it wasn't broken, the screen stopped working.I'm looking online to get one but I'm kid of baffled by how many of these covers are out there ;P
Ack, that's not good. Kindle's are expensive.
Yeah, I know that there are a lot. Choose one that best suits your personality.

Ohh. Since this is random stuff. I can link to my collection of the Shadow and Bone trilogy :D My collection is pretty big, lol. <3 http://carinabooks.blogspot.no/2014/0...
And it will be getting MUCH bigger. I will be buying a lot of copies of Ruin and Rising as well, hih :) I'm a book hoarder. And I love it. (Though I don't have much space left. SOBS.)

*faints from awe*
You have a lot of merchandise! That's quite the collection! That's awesome! Do you have a favorite item in your collection?
Elvina wrote: "You have a lot of merchandise! That's quite the collection! That's awesome! Do you have a favorite item in your collection?"Hih, thank you :D Ohh. That is a hard one. I am not sure. Probably the Stag Locket. <3 (Mal quote. LOVE!) But also that gorgeous red postcard on my wall. MAL quote again, lol :D
Thats the only collection you have? I like the jewelry *sigh* i want.
Andresa wrote: "Thats the only collection you have? I like the jewelry *sigh* i want."Oh, no, I have TONS of collections. But this is most of the jewelry that I have :)
Also, this topic is REFUSING to send me emails or notifications. Hmph. I have signed up for both. None is happening. Agh. So if you reply to me, it might take some time before I see it :)
I never get notifications from this group and I checked the "email me" option. Goodreads says they have a problem with my email but I get emails about other stuff on goodreads.
Weird, I checked my e-mail this morning, and it was flooded with notifications for this topic...
It is weird. As I get emails from other topics. Hm. But most weird is that I don't get the notifications here on goodreads either. Which is just mean, lol.
I missed some interesting conversations in the Darkling forum so I am going to ramble on about them here.I also read the Throne of Glass series, but my ships are all confused! Chaol, Dorian, Sam, I am undecided. :(
For the Splintered series, I hate Jeb and I totally ship Morpheus. Alyssa annoys the crap out of me because she has this gorgeous mysterious boy saying he will make a life with her in WONDERLAND and show her a world she could never have dreamed of and she's like:
"Waaahh, I wanna stay in the human world. I don't wanna accept my destiny. I choose a boring life and a boring boyfriend."
FORGET HER MORPHEUS LET ME LOVE YOU

Let me hug you :)))) Do you think Morpheus + Alyssa ship will sail in Ensnared?
I never understand heroines who cling to their humanity when there is a whole new supernatural world waiting for them. Especially since these heroines were not entirely human to begin with.
@Natalia do you think Alyssa spending her life with Jeb, and then leaving to Wonderland right before she would die to have a life with Morpheus is even a possibility at this point?
@ Veela: I haven't finished Unhinged yet, so I don't know. I'm at 40 % now.
Oh okay. Please don't throw the book too hard when you finish.
No, I won't, lol. I didn't throw it at the end of S&S either, because it is an e-reader and I can't afford throwing it around every time something pisses me off. I trust one of my GR friends who says the next book in the Splintered series has the promise of epicness and amazing, and she can't stand Jeb. So I read on.
I wish Ensnared would come out sooner, I think it's planed publication is January 2015.

I honestly can't talk about Jeb without raging. Like he's probably in my top 5 most hated YA characters. I actually thought it had to be the author's intention to make the reader hate him.
I need to read Crown of Midnight still. I'm sort of meh on the multiple POV thing though. I wish it was all in Celaena's (spelling?) especially since they're apparently all at the same place. I hate multiple POV unless characters are going on their own storylines/journeys like in Game of Thrones. I think it works there.
OMG, I just can't! My neighbors from the upper apartment have been listening to some blaring music and dancing on my head for a couple of hours now. They started from patriotic songs and now moved on to rap, lol. I'm probably in for another sleepless night. Everyone celebrates Victory Day in Russia today, so there is no reasoning with them. Haha, do you see the irony, seeing as the Darkling vs. Hitler topic came up rather often for the past couple of days. I have to endure and hope they will get tired soon. Slim chance, though. Ugh!
I mostly read it, but really I just skimmed it. I didn't feel like properly reading it after, but I'll reread both books before book 3. I'm not sure if I actually ship any of the boys with Celaena. I sort of shipped Sam/Celaena, but then I decided I didn't after all. And then I loved Chaol/Celaena, but then STUFF HAPPENED and I don't even know.
Oh? I like entwined story-lines with some, but not much, overlap. Otherwise, it's not really beneficial to the story. But if they are having adventures that connect and sometimes influence the other, then I am fine.
Has anyone read the Pellinor Series by Alison Croggan?

Eek. Rap = Bleck in my experience. It sounds like people with anger management issues to me. Yeah, it is ironic. Is there anywhere you can go to escape?
Oh, and I will probably have three more drawings up before the end of today. One Genya/David, one Tamar, and one Darklina.

Elvina, looks like you've been struck by inspiration, keep it up))And no, can't escape since it is 23:00. Hopefully they will tire soon.
I will. I need to get them onto my computer and edit them, and then I'll post them.
Oh. Nowehere's open? Hopefully. Loud neighbors are ever fun. Also, dogs. They are not good pets for townhouses.

I' m sorry for you.
I totally can't do military time. Takes me too long to figure it out.Telling time in Spanish was also a challenge for me for some reason. I just took my Spanish final today--got a 97% woo woo!
WinterRose wrote: "Takes me too long to figure it out."What?
Edit: Oh, I get it now. My brain is sluggish again))
Congrats on your Spanish!
I randomly have my laptop and email clocks set to a 24 hour clock. I don't know why.
Congrats! I got my score back for the National Latin Exam yesterday. . . .

For us, we have a twelve hour clock, but the military clock is twenty-four hours.
Thanks guys! :)We go on 12 hours too and consider 24 hour military.
I'm in America. 24 hours makes more sense though.
Me too. :) America that is. But I think the 24 hour clock is super confusing. After 12 I like starting back up at 1, lol.

I'm the opposite. My father taught me to drink unsweetened tea when I was a child, and now I don't like it any other way.
