Hi Grace! Hope you had fun!!

Ladies, I have been busy with work and studies but I'm great. :)

I miss you all too !! You ladies are the only one who I can discuss about books! :D

I want to share some joy with you all: I'm getting married next year February :)

[Vega_girl]

Uugghh, that moment when you think " I just can't finish this book!!! I tried and I just can't keep going"......then you look and you are already 65% done and you think maybe its not that bad....I can totally finish it!!!.....worst..35% of my life!!!!

LOL Barb! I totally understand your frustration. That happens to me when I want to use the book for my reading challenge but I'm not interested in the story.

[DJacelyn]

Btw ladies, do you know about the Colleen Hoover "It ends with us" box set? Anyone bought it?

:D

I was struggling for days, not sure want to buy or not. Just now I share my struggles with another friend of mine who loves books(different genre compared to mine), and she supported me. And I just bought it straight away!!

Now I just have to wait 4 to 6 weeks for the box to arrive. :D (*Super happy* now )

[Vega_girl]

*high five* that's so cool!! And its autographed too!!

Congratulations! How exciting a February wedding! You definitely have your hands full with work, studies and planning a wedding.

How cool you bought the It Ends With Us box set!! I saw it briefly posted on Facebook, but didn't really look at what it contained. Thanks for the link, I'm going to check it out now.

Congratulations!

[Karen]

Congrats DJacelyn! How exciting! Wedding planning can be fun and stressful, remember to keep it fun. I remember planning my wedding and thinking...I really just want to marry that guy, I don't care about the wedding and then my mom would flip out because I didn't care about the details :)

[Vega_girl]

Oh My Gosh!!! I can't beleive my eyes skipped over this HUGE announcement!!! Congratulations Djacelyn!!!! So excited for you and your new adventure!!!

[DJacelyn]

Erika, Chris, Deanna, Karen and Barb, thank you all for your wishes.

Erika, I will do my best to enjoy the process of planning but at times can be so stressful when some things are beyond my control. :(

Chris, with all the work, studies and wedding, I hope everything will go smoothly this year. :D

Chris and Barb, what you think of the "It ends with us" box, worth buying?

Karen, I have the same opinion as you too. Wanted a simple wedding and don't care the details but have to consider elders' opinion.

[Arlene(rlineey)]

Congrats!

[Grace]

Wow DJacelyn! That's awesome news! Congratulations! February weddings are so romantic!

And that's awesome DJacelyn, congratulations!

[DJacelyn]

Thank you Arlene, Grace, Deanna (sorry I miss it) and Candyce.

So school started in Aug. and I ak a substitute teacher.....I have not had a day off in weeks!!! I love/hate it! I love being up here with the kids, but I hate not being able to read or come visit you guys as often as I would like!!!.....I miss my GR buddies

No days off that is awful!! Is it a long term substitution for one class or are you just getting called in regularly to substitute all different classes? It's never fun when work gets in the way with reading!!

I have a fantastic part time job that allows my hours to be flexible. Typically I work 5 hours a day, Monday-Friday, but my boss doesn't really care what time I come in or when I go home. The bad part of that is when I can't seem to put down a book. It's too easy to go into work late, because I can't stop reading.

I need one of those part time jobs!

[Candyce]

Like a couple above me here I am really missing my reading time as well. I've barely had time to pick up a book or come visit the group.

[Karen]

I have it taped and my daughter and I were going to watch it last night, but honestly we went out first and I drank 2 beers. When I got home my head was bounding, it felt like a migraine. So I will have to watch it this weekend (and no beer lol). It looks really good!

Bringing this forward! We talked about doing as our next Ugly Cry Buddy Read. I listed it in our Buddy Read request thread to start Sunday October 2nd. Does that work?

Works for me!

And I agree, This is Us was really good. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

I am LOVING this show!!!!!!

[Erika]

Hi Everyone!!! I am back from vacation, I wasn't able to do tons of reading but I was able to read a few. I have a lot of school work to catch up on, plus books, and not to mention all my shows.

[Vega_girl]

Missed you Erika!! Have fun playing catch up!!

[Vega_girl]

I am in a Huge reading funk!!! I am in search of something funny and heartwarming!!! Whatcha' got??

[Deanna]

Vega_girl wrote: "I am in a Huge reading funk!!! I am in search of something funny and heartwarming!!! Whatcha' got??"

cracked me up.

[Deanna]

I am so behind with reading! I meant to get to our Ugly Cry but haven't. Has anyone else? Maybe we could push it out a bit?

I haven't gotten to it either. I'll be honest this months read is one I had taken off of my to read list because it's got that triangle relationship thing and I'm not a fan of those. I've been debating on taking it on. We can definitely move the date back. You guys let me know when it works and I'll give the book a try, but if it's torture I may not finish. lol

[Deanna]

I would be okay with reading it after the 18th. Does that work for anyone else?

I just started today, but I have been really busy. Moving in a few weeks and working on the house has been taking up a lot of my time.

[Erika]

So I already read the ugly cry book and well read my review...I can't wait to see what you all think.

[Candyce]

I can't wait for the next two weeks to be over. Then I finally move and get my reading time back.
