Have you seen the new Reread function just added? I'm glad they finally found a way to track rereads, I plan to do a lot of that this year:P

I don't usually do a lot of rereading but I do have my favorites I like to revisit and I'm glad it will finally count!

I just found out that my inlaws are coming for a visit for a week (starting tomorrow). They live really far away and we never get to see them so I'm guessing I won't be having much reading time for the next week.Am currently reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and it works for a lot of cards so I'll keep picking away at it but just wanted to keep you guys updated.
I also love the fact that Goodreads finally has a reread feature!! I've only ever reread one book and that's my favourite one, The Great Gatsby, but I'm totally planning on rereading the whole Harry Potter series hopefully later this year.
Oh yes - I read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest so it will work for a REVERSE! :)Enjoy your inlaws visit!
I'm starting Red Queen since it works for bingo and it will be a REVERSE since Silje has read it.

Wonderful K~terror!! I still can't get over how fast you tear through books!!
Don't forget to add Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales to your UNO shelf.
Andrea - Enjoy your company!K~Terror - You'll have to let me know how Red Queen is because I've had that one on my TBR list for awhile and in my grubby little paws a few times at the book store.
I'll keep you posted! I added Necronomicon to my shelf. I don't even know how to rate this one... I don't think I understood enough of it to rate it. Maybe I should do a re-read when they legalize marijuana in Indiana... lol!

1 x tub (large) of ice cream
1 x wall to bang your head on
1 x soundless hole you can shout ARGHHH into without disturbing the neighbours
1 x access to GR to discuss it as soon as you finish it
1 x good friend that you can text WTF to at midnight that won't kill you.

I ended up enjoying this book so much more than I anticipated. I don't know if I had the bar set low or what, but usually I can get bored during the world-building parts of fantasy books. This one didn't get all caught up in a lot of those details so, for me, that was a plus! Also, there was romance involved - which can be a turn-off for some, but I'm always more invested in a story if there are hearts involved! I really felt the story had a good pace and was able to connect with many of the characters. Definitely recommend if you are not hard-core fantasy reader like me. **/

The twitter hashtag for this book is #WTFthatending and it is right, a slow burner this one, but worth it for the ending!
K get it on your list lol
I'm all over it!!! I just mentioned bumping it and using this for my ICU book! Haha! Can't wait to read!
BTW - I know how you feel about fantasy but if you ever find yourself backed in to a corner and the only way out is to read a fantasy book, you may not hate "Red Queen".:D
Hahaha!!! It really was quite entertaining - in a Hunger Games-The-Selection-and-toned-down-Maas way...

I'm enjoying it so far! I get Louise and Adelle's points of view... but then there's this Rob character.... and the secrets surrounding the marriage and the fire... so I'm definitely having a hard time putting down...
its weird because at the beginning I was like "it's like me" lol I have night terrors all the time and end up somewhere else in the house!!
Seriously??!!!! That would freak me out!!!Did I tell you one of my daughter's friends gets night terrors (HS sophomore) and she'll start yelling out during the night. I sleep like the dead, so I hear nothing ~ but the first few times freaked Sydney out! Now she sleeps with her ear buds in when her friends sleeps over! HA!
haha it's the best thing, I don't scream and shout but I've been known to have massive arguments with my hubby!I had a real go at him before for squashing my frog haha, there was a small frog in our bed (in my dream) and we were keeping it warm (obviously) and he kept rolling over, so I sat up and screamed at him STOP SQUASHING THE FU*KING FROG, YOU'LL KILL HIM!!!!! Haha
I also have been standing with my arms out looking up at the top of the door shouting THE BABY, THR BABY as I thought there was a baby crawling at the top of the doorway..........
Then there was the time he can downstairs and caught me crawling under the table trying to catch a squirrel..............
They are the funny ones lol, my main ones are horrid though, I always see someone standing at the bottom of the bed and I run downstairs, I've been really close to calling the police and telling them that there is someone in the house, before I do anything now I have to say out loud "Ok Vicci, is this real or are you dreaming"? I usually wake up then!!!!
......I'll get my coat haha
LOL!!! Is your hubby like business as usual now with that? I would freak but I guess if you go through it a few times it just becomes normal. I just think how scared I'd feel if I really thought a baby was on top of the door -- or if someone was in my house! I'd have anxiety issues for sure!!!!
yeah it comes and goes, I haven't had a bad one in a while but I often sit up in bed and start talking about stuff, he's like VIC, VIC.......and then I sort of wake up and then lay back down and go back to sleep haha
I have the same problem!! I thought I was just really weird! And I do the yelling and screaming thing but I don't think I've ever had one as funny as the frog!! I started dating a guy about a year ago and when we got to the "sleepover" stage I figured I better forewarn him and it was a good thing I did bcz it happened a couple nights later. I've somehow taught myself to (usually) figure out it's a dream and wake myself up but the second time it happened with the boyfriend I knew it was a dream but couldn't wake myself up so I was trying to yell at him to help me and I had just got done screaming NO DONT!! And then followed it up with WAKE ME UP!! I meant for them to be different sentences and he took it to mean that he shouldn't wake me up so he said he just shrugged, rolled over, and went back to sleep :-D.BTW....maybe there really is something with the squirrels bcz I've had issues with them too when I'm dreaming!! And so for Christmas one of my friends got me an air freshener that is a squirrel in white briefs! I LOVE IT!!!
lol it's mad isn't it? Can you also. have your dreams, I mean I can't do it so easily now but if I was dreaming something I didn't like before I could sort of change it to something better? really strange, I told my little boy to do it once because he was having bad dreams and my hubby looked at me as if I'd grown another head!!
I only talk in my sleep:PFinished:

I just finished Winter (my "real" book) and am busy sorting through my piles trying to decide on my next real book. I also have two ebooks I should finish up today that I listen to when I motivate myself to unpack boxes. I'm letting myself read for half an hour and then I have to unpack for half an hour. It seems to be working....kinda...
