The Game of Life Topples You or Your TBR Pile

I am quietly reading and enjoying Jamaica Inn. I had to give up on the cassette tapes. I liked the narrator very much, but a couple of them won't play correctly. I guess the tape is stretched. I have waited so long to play them too! I don't see an audio book available on either of my Overdrive library links. Mary is at Jem's house and he just showed her the "black pony".
I went to the bookshop. And then another one...We may have come home with two whole boxes full of books...
TO the New Purchases thread I go.
I quit reading Lady Audley's Secret last night (hopefully I'll be able to get back into the story next week) and read some short stories. Probably during lunch today I'll read a comic-book. I'll just have to put the kids to bed early tonight (after walking the 'Avond 4 Daagse' (5 km. walking each night for 4 nights) I think they can do with a bit of rest) - so I can start reading!I can't wait!
I reminded my husband that at noon, I have to start reading. The best response: "OK". Has this guy been trained, or what? ♥And the countdown continues!

I picked that up to use for this Toppler, and I hope the narration is good. If not, I'll switch to a Kindle or DTB edition.
A thought while waiting to start the Toppler...why spend money on furniture when you can spend it on books and make your own?

I have been sending friendships request to you guys (girls).I just found out now how to do that (I have wanted to do it for a while...)
Yay! Thanks for the friend Mariab! I must say that goodreads isn't wonderful on the "teaching you how to use it" front. That said, it means you're constantly discovering new features!
2.5 hours to go! I'll be sleep cheering you all on for the first 8 or so.
The Bees Knees to go with my Beer Festival...excellent :-)
Sounds like a honey wheat beer is in order!
ooh wheat beeer =DI wish I had got one of those now. I got wine instead.

Only the cool kids are drinking wine at this point in time. Even if it is stupid o'clock in the morning.
Haha. It's half 3 in the afternoon here! Got everything ready, even brought nachos and dip yum yum =D
Always thought you were a clever woman. Now I want Nachos. At 12.30am.
Till tomorrow people. Enjoy your first few hours.
Bad news - my laptop got taken over. This time by Homeland Security for being a bad citizen and downloading unauthorized stuff. &*#$^&*(%# viruses!!! I am at the library right now, but only to let you know. I'll be at home reading, and mentally chatting. I'll try and get back here late this afternoon, but will have no access tomorrow. I don't know if I can survive over 48 hours without my computer. I might be able to borrow my neighbor's laptop some, or dig out the dinosaur, which is packed up to give my dad. Thank goodness I forgot to take it to him in May. Hopefully I can remember what plugs where - thank goodness most of the cables are color coded. Cross your fingers for me!!
Oh dear J-mom - that's not good! Hope the library is not too far from home. Fingers and toes crossed for you.
I'm leaving now so I get to my book!

(your laptop, I mean)
Can you believe it? Instead of beginning my reading, I'm ghopering by other people's books´s picks, to add MORE books to my shelves (that MUST BE a kind of disorder...)

Some people spend as much time here chatting and looking at all the books mentioned as they do reading!
I'm closing this topic, so all chat can move to the other Game of Life topic.
