Are we doing next spin?Yesterday evening we put the christmas tree with all the decorations :) meanwhile my cat was watching and scheming how to sabotage christmas this year. Last year he jumped into the tree to play with the decorations and the whole tree fell. He is like the grinch :p
Do you want to spin Audrey? If not, I can. I wasn't online much yesterday to ask, I was unwell.Cats always like to mess with Christmas trees.
I hope you are feeling better Danielle. Yes, screens doesn't combine well when feeling sick. No worries. I will go spin.They sure do! And then he does that cute face so I can't be mad for long, I have no authority *sigh*
I'm feeling much better today. Yes, screens are not good. I wonder what you come up with for this roll.
Genre of the week is Romance. I take option 2 and chose to stay on the topic of LotR; we are going to spell Rivendell, because it seems the kind of place I would like to visit if it was real, wouldn't you? :)

I just got my hands on extended versions of Hobbit movies. Now I need enough time to make it a marathon. Are we still planning read & watch?
I'm in too. I hope I will be able to watch Battle of 5 Armies first and then I will start from the beginning :)

Yes, Fantasy Romance. I liked it. Took some time to understand world, but interesting. I loved the characters.

I have this series on my tbr list...but I only found it when I was in Barnes & Noble (and they only had Pagan Spring...which is rather annoying!!! lol I have to go on amazon for sooooooo many books!!
Catherine wrote: "which is rather annoying!!!"I don't think you really know how book buying can be annoying. :P
*sorry for the rant*
Let's see.. I switched to ebooks because they are supposed to be easier to get. Only one bookstore (since few bookstores merged into one) here sell English books (I stopped reading translations years ago - don't ask. It's completely different rant ☺). You can get any book you want since they are ordering them from Amazon but wait is at least two months (probably bulk order) but at least they don't charge me shipping.
So ebooks... I can't buy from B&N since they are selling only to US. On Amazon, for me books still cost more because Amazon isn't charging me whispersinc (which I don't even use since I don't have Kindle, but use PC app!). And please, don't let me start on geographic restrictions! You have no idea how many times I had to 'move' to US so I can buy a book. And after that Apple/publishers/Amazon thing I ended up without half of my bought books because suddenly they were geo restricted.
At least, Kobo doesn't give me much trouble and they have those very nice discount codes :D Thank you Kobo! Oh and thanks to Philly library for letting me again be their member. They saved me lot of moving over the pond :P

Agreed Tea! I was forced to go to ebooks, there was no other way to get the books I want to read (and not all are accessible with my Amazon account). Plus library's English books collection is very small. I don't like translations either.
