Awww love this!! I had such a great 3 day weekend doing very little. I've been overly busy lately and with no plans I got a lot of reading done this weekend. We went out to dinner every night and beside some laundry and cleaning I relaxed and loved it. Not to mention I live on the coast near San Francisco, so we don't get a lot of hot weather and this weekend was in the late 80's low 90's! The beach was crazy packed!!!! It was absolutely beautiful! Back to work today...boo!!

[Vega_girl]

Aww, that sounds amazing Christine!!! I think I need a vacation to recover from my vacation....ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

This is why when I go camping or on vacations I always bring like 5 paperback books so that I have them "just in case" lol!

[Vega_girl]

Good call!! Next time I will be prepared....

Good to be back!! I think I missed GR more than social media!!Lol!

For my friends who love world's filled with magic... is $1.99 on Amazon. I really loved this series! It is completely original and I haven't read anything even remotely similar. Just FYI!! Happy Friday Peeps!!!

[Karen]

Great list! I've only read 9 of the books. :O Some are on my too read shelf. :)

Love the list

I've only read 11 out of the 37 :( I added few more to my tbr pile! I read A wrinkle in time when I was in the 5th grade and didn't like it...I think it was above my maturity level at the time (I had a high reading level, but I was only 10)

I have only read 11. Guess I need to add more too!

[Erika]

I've only read 13 but I really am not crazy about some of these. :/

[Vega_girl]

I think it was genre biased!! Lol!! Because alot of them were more fantasy YA and sci-fi ...which happens to be favorites of mine and I know not so much for some of you guys!!

[Chris]

I only read 7 . I'm such a loser xD

[Erika]

Yea, those are not favs of mine. I think the closet I came to loving anything like that was the Hunger Games series. I've tried a few other and I just can't get into them.

[Grace]

I may have read 8, if you count and . It's been so long I don't even remember if I read them! I'm with Erika on this one -- loved Hunger Games but, in general, not interested in that genre. Thanks for the list!

[Vega_girl]

So every night it's my husband who decides when it's time for us to actually sleep.....because even working I would probably stay up all night reading!! Lol...So today he had to stay over night at his job and when we got done talking,around 11, he says"what are you going to do now?" So I say"go to sleep" and he say "no really you need to sleep" and I'm all " I just said I was going to sleep..." An hour later I'm still reading.....hehe...but I am going to sleep after this chapter.....

I love it! I would do that, too!

[Vega_girl]

Not good I was up until 2 a.m.!!! I need my hubby back!!

hahahaha you must be exhausted! I wish I could stay up that late and read. I always fall asleep reading.

[Vega_girl]

Ya, when I'm tired I do too. I started and I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did!! I was literally laughing out loud last night!!

[Erika]

I go to bed every night around8:45-9:30 telling myself
1. Don't read, go to sleep
2. Okay you can read for a little while
3. Alright, read until 11
4. This is it 12 is your limit
5. Finish this chapter, put your ipad a way, and this is it!!!!
6. By 1 I finally listen, unless it's a page turner and then I just read until I fall asleep.

Yay, for you!!! That is awesome!

[Ashley]

Afternoon! How is everyone today?

[Erika]

I am good and you Ashley?
While most of USA is off today, I am very begrudgingly working. I am also doing school work, so I am all around not happy. But if I must admit...I finished a book today and finished my two month challenge which does make me happy!

[Chris]

Hi Ashley!! I'm good, how are you?

I shouldn't be since it's a holiday, but I'm at work! At least I've managed a little goodreads times while eating lunch!

Erika, I'm jealous you've finished your 2 month challenge. I'm reading a book for it now and will have one more to go!

[Red]

Hi ashley... I just came back from a month long vacation. So exhausted and tired...
About to start 'The Rescue' by nicholas sparks

Cant wait to feel a book

A month?? Where? How was it...I can't imagine being away from home for a month

[Red]

Went for hajj... I missed my home a lot but had fun

[Chris]

Red wrote: "Went for hajj... I missed my home a lot but had fun"

Welcome back! Wow, the pilgrimage is a month long experience? Do you do this every year?

[Red]

Na na...the main rites are to be performed within a week...rest is upto you...how long you would like to stay...
You have to perform hajj just once in a lifetime only of you can afford
(if you want to do it more than once because you can...then thats absolutely your choice )

[Ashley]

Glad to hear everyone is doing well, even if they did have to work.

My boyfriend is back home, I finally got approved for my new insurance and I have a possible part-time job so things are starting to look up for me again.

Thanks for explaining, Red! Wow, so it sounds like you made the most of your trip spending a whole month there!!

That is great news, Ashley!! I'm happy for you!

[Karen]

Good News Ashley!

On another note: I started watching season 2 of Outlander and so far I've watched up through episode 5 (the episode where Randall's men captures Jamie - again-) and I can't bring myself to watch anymore because I don't want to see my poor Jamie be tortured. I know - it's silly, because I already know what happens, but I still can't do it. Eventually I will get the courage to watch it...just not today!

[Deanna]

Yay, Ashley!

[Vega_girl]

Happy for you Ashley!!!

Omgosh!!! I completely forgot about that i need to finish season one!!

[Chris]

Wow, today is starting out good! I was looking for some books to read to meet some of the challenges I have going. I found 5 different books on goodreads and when I went to amazon to purchase them all 5 were apart of my Kindle Unlimited! I pay for it monthly and then don't use it enough, so to accidentally stumble on 5 books at once was awesome!!!
