Imagine my evil smile now, listening you guys talking about snow and cold. It doesn't snow in my city, never that cold. (It gets super hot in summer though )

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Oh it's cold... too cold for snow at the moment I think... in the low 20s Fahrenheit every morning... I think it got down to 17 once already...

You're welcome! I used to work the graveyard shifts, so books and movies have filled a large part of my time wasting!

I watched The Lone Ranger today and it was fun. Watch it if you didn't.
And check out Snatch it is reallyyyyyy good!

[Ahdam]

I enjoyed the lone ranger when I saw it and to be honest I don't think it deserved the reception it got since it was a pretty good film

Need to watch snatch but I enjoy guy Ritchie films he just has this style that looks so appealing especially when he did Sherlock holmes which I enjoyed

I really enjoyed Snatch, Brad Pitt was great in that film, but I had to watch it with sub titles! My favorite Brad Pitt movie would have to be 12 Monkeys though.

Haha yes I've suffered from the "autocorrect disease" myself. I normally go back and edit my comments when I notice these errors though as I hate looking at them 😱

I hate that I usually don't see the error(s) until 5 or 10 minutes after I've already sent/posted my comment.

Yes that happens to me as well, although I'll still edit it anyway. In fact once, when I came across one of my comments that was nearly one year old and saw a mistake in it I still went ahead and edited it 😂

I've done the same! :)

I was friends with a movie major in college... saw Snatch, and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and a few others... I also saw Brokeback Mountain, tho, so it wasn't all movie classics...

This was me today... after using computer for 2hrs I went to listen to something and there was no sound... restarted computer, used the audio troubleshooter... then realized somehow my computer changed the sound output device from my TV to the system sound that has nowhere to output... *facepalm*

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I take care of people on life support, and a variety of other machines.. that is exactly what we do when something’s glitchy! (Safely of course, no harm to the patient)

[idiffer]

what's up with The Gods of Winter? It popped up in my feed and 3 out of 5 (?) ppl that have it shelved are from FBR. Three that I know of.
Is the author a member of this group or is this some elaborate inside joke?

My friend from work is the author and he's just trying to get it out there. Thanks so much for looking at it! :)
I can't wait to read it, wishing I wasn't so fully booked this month! Haha.

[Ahdam]

So that explains it I was wondering why you were recommending a book you haven't read but it sounds interesting so I'll put it on the pile

[Siobhan]

Thanks Ahdam! I was just thinking of peeps I thought would like his style! :)

[Siobhan]

Anni, Zaara, Chris and I are half way to planning a buddy read xD haha.

[Anni]

Haha, see? I knew this was your evil plan right from the start :D

[Chris]

If i don't slow down with buddy reads I going to need a private room with a bed, IV, corner shower, cathater, beer fridge, and live in nanny for the kids!

Likewise, although I can skip the beer fridge (beer is disgusting!!) and the nanny.

Prosecco can live in a beer fridge right? XD

[Anni]

Is The Gods of Winter only available as an ebook?

[Chris]

Siobhan wrote: "Prosecco can live in a beer fridge right? XD"

Not for long, shelf life is limited and it never tastes the same after the initial uncorking!

[Siobhan]

Anni wrote: "Is The Gods of Winter only available as an ebook?"

Yes Anni, although Dale does dream of getting it published!

Who said anything about putting back half finished bottles? 😂 😂

[Chris]

I more or less meant the same thing :-P

[Siobhan]

Ah yes, can't be leaving prosecco to go flat. XD

[Chris]

Ok so I can't let this slide.... We all need to email spam the network director of Goodreads for something that I just witnessed on their home page that has left my mouth agape!

You know when you hit the home tab at the top and it brings you to the homepage, on the right there's that section that says "Because you read ________, you'll like: insert title here."?

OH THE HORROR, OH THE HUMANITY!!!

This is what I see:
"Because you enjoyed The Well of Ascension(Mistborn #2):

"

How much of a nerd rage do you think Brandon Sanderson would go on being compared to, or even in the same sentence as, The Babysitters Club? Like WTF Goodreads? Seriously? Lol

[Hailee]

Siobhan wrote: "Prosecco can live in a beer fridge right? XD"

Unfortuanely, I'm very fussy with my taste in alcoholic tipples.

Give me a Southern Comfort or Amaretto over wines or beers any day. I would need a freezer for the ice cubes though :-)

Or Baileys, I absolutely love Baileys!

Baby-sitters club!! That is hilarious.

But don't be a reading snob Chris. Give it a go. It might become your new favourite series. Maybe there are more similarities between that and Mistborn than you realise!

Hey did anyone else see that flying pig...

[Chris]

I mean all due respect to any published author but, come on! That's like, "Because you liked Dune you'll love Pigs In Space: Starring Jim Henson's Muppets!" Like it's not the same audience let alone the same league!

[Hailee]

Chris wrote: "I mean all due respect to any published author but, come on! That's like, "Because you liked Dune you'll love Pigs In Space: Starring Jim Henson's Muppets!" Like it's no..."

Haha yes I have had some weird recommendations myself. Sometimes the only thing they seemed to have in common is their page count or they had the same colour on their cover. Your recommendation doesn't even have that weak comparison going for it lol.

[idiffer]

I think GR made the rec system to make fun of us. Its usefullness is zero.

[Beste]

Ahahhaha Chris the GR must be taking into account that you have a very little baby in your profile pic :) You will need to learn about babysitting starting from now. So don't waste your time reading books like The Hero of Ages, go babysit :) :)

I don't think so... I read the Babysitters Club books 20 years ago... and the ones where Dawn/Sunny moved away to California... don't judge me... (it would be hilarious if there was someone named Hoid in the books, tho... altho i don't think there was...)

I was posting in groups a few months ago when Goodreads recommended a manga about a masturbation demon to me for some reason...

[Zaara]

😂😂😂😂😂
o well...I suppose demons deserve some happiness too.....

[Hailee]

Zaara wrote: "😂😂😂😂😂

Haha best response ever lol 🤣😂


But now I'm jealous, all my recommendations are dead boring. Where are my masturbation demon recs? If goodreads insist on giving me dud recs they could at least make them fun ones like Chris and Iain's ;-)

Well...a joke only flies if there's a Straight Man Dialogue set up for it like that...I was just fielding off Lain's score...shared credit, my dear.

And Hailee...I hope you found your book.

[Hailee]

Haha very true with an opening line about masturbation demons the jokes can almost write themselves.

Yes I did thanks. It was on my bed with the other two books I dithered over taking to work with me, I must have gotten distracted and set it aside and just taken my new book.

[Zaara]

Wooot! for Hailee finding the lost book that was never lost at all...

I dug it up:

Because you shelved Shark's Teeth (Marla Mason, #5.5):



What do you do with a demon incubus feeding off your wet dreams? Fujimaru is your typical pubescent teenage boy - horny and girl-crazed. Like many boys his age, he enjoys spending 'alone time' in the bathroom with erotic magazines, doing... you know. Unlike many boys his age, Fujimaru has a demon incubus, Rei, lurking about his house. Rei wants nothing more than to feed off of Fujimaru's perverted mind.

[Anni]

You should read this book Iain, who knows maybe it's your next favorite :D :D

A friend of mine ordered a Neil Gaiman Book and get some M / M Teenage-Cowboy Lovestory because it was labeled with a wrong sticker. Sure, it's not the same as Goodreads recommendations but she was also very surprised opening that package... :D She had a very funny telephone conversation with customer service and get a new version of the book she ordered.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

She got a "new version" alright ;)

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

That is hilarious
