have you read young sherlock holmes?

[Jasna]

yes! that is one of the sets of crime fiction I have already. Thanks for the suggestion though.:)

[Karmen]

You could read the kill artist

[Guy Vestal]

Finally a quality sans the quantity YA group...

[Guy Vestal]

I am already in a big group (Perks) and it is just too impersonal, but I am already there, so why not stay afloat in a sea of people.

You folks ("we" now I guess) seemed to really have the only "family" feel, and for a Father of 8 Daughters, that carries a lot of weight.

[These Violent Delights]

Thank you so much for the compliment Guy! It means a lot.


Also, everyone, I returned home yesterday from the hospital around 5 pm, so I was there for a good 11 hours. Everything went well, there were a few minor complications. I've also been told that I shouldn't be in as much pain as I am in now, but I'm living lol. I have been taking quite a lot of meds and my brains been fuzzy and heavy. So I'm not sure when I'm going to be as active as I was before.

[These Violent Delights]

Thanks so much Angie!

[Irene]

Glad everything went well Robin! Hopefully you'll recover in no time :)

You're very welcome! I can't wait to see what you think.

I have a game idea that I'd like to share. Possible title is who is this character. It's like 20 questions.

example
first person would ask character: are you male or female?
character would answer: female
next person: are you lead or supporting?
character: lead
person: do you have siblings?
character: yes, I have a brother
person: are you good or bad?
character: good
after so many questions or so
person: are you in mortal instruments?
character: yes
person: do you have red hair?
character: yes
person: are you Clary Fray?
character: yes

and the person who guessed, gets to be the next character

What do you think?

[Guy Vestal]

Any game is a good game

[Irene]

@Nikita - Sounds fun! :D

[These Violent Delights]

I like it Nikita! I'm going to set it up right now.

[Nikita]

Neat!

[Jasna]

hi, does anybody use a bookmark? I can't because i keep losing them so i've learnt to remember the page

[Irene]

I do

[Angela]

@ Jasna: When I read a paperback, I use a book marker. I use to lose mine as well, but I made myself one that would loop itself over the pages, as well as the book itself. It was definitely an improvement. Nowadays, I usually read off my kindle, but I do have an abundance of paperbacks and hardcovers that I will re-read from time to time.

Thats cool. My sisters got me three bookmarks that look like little plants so when they are in a book, they look like they are growing.

[Angela]

@Jasna: I would love to see those book markers. They sound very impressive. I made mine with velcro, so if book was little/big, it could fit to size. I love butterflies, so I made mine with those on it...

[Erin Lynn]

I use magnetic clips as bookmarks sometimes, especially for hardcovers. They are made by Re-marks, Inc. and they are seriously the cutest thing I've ever found. They are made with a sturdy paper, and I bought the ones with owls.

[Guy Vestal]

I just use rolls of silk ribbon, cut them into 9-12 inch pieces, so they hangout way over the edges. They make good bookmarks, and are hard to lose when so big and obvious.

[These Violent Delights]

If I'm reading a hardcover, I use the flap of the dust jacket as a book mark. If paper back, I use any piece of paper I can find.

[Karmen]

I found this cute leaf book mark on amazon it's so nice

I saw something like that too, I really want to get some cool book marks eventually.

[Irene]

Ugh. Uni's starting tomorrow! :|

[Jasna]

Really? I'm starting my GCSE courses on Wednesday.

[These Violent Delights]

Trade School is starting for me this Wednesday..

[Irene]

What's that?

[Guy Vestal]

Trading school for what??? LOL

[These Violent Delights]

Building Trades, it includes electrical/plumbing/& carpentry.

Though I want to major in electrical because I want to be an electrician.

[Guy Vestal]

Oh... I thought you were physically trading it for something, like a new car. haahaha ;-)

Hahaha no.

[Guy Vestal]

I would have. Traded it for a nice 2015 Vette maybe...

[Karmen]

I've been in college since Thursday

[Irene]

Well I know I shouldn't complain since Ivm off for 2,5 weeks after this week, but it's just that "last day of vacation" feeling haha :-)
I'm studying information science and cultural communication

[Guy Vestal]

Ok, here is something mega-nerdy that will obviously embarrass me, but has anyone an opinion on the new 5th edition of D&D's Player Manual?

[Paula]

The Book Thief is one of those horrible great books in the world. The story (with Death as the narrator) is a snapshot of a time in history when so many terrible things were accepted as necessary.The Book Thief

[Karmen]

I loved the book thief it was a book that kept me entertained and wanting to know what events would lead up to the outcome

[Jasna]

never read it. want to though

[Irene]

Yeah it's a great book. It took me some time to get into, but I see why it's an important book. It's definitely worth the time!

[Jasna]

The thing is. like with many books I always seem to shy away from it and choose another that I know I like. I find reading books you have already read are like old friends that are happy to see you.

[Karmen]

Does anyone know any rare books

[Guy Vestal]

I have to review a book tomorrow, and I suspect the author has huge ethics issues here and at Amazon with questionable "fake" reviews. Half of me says to include the misdeeds of the author as part of the rating, and the other half says to focus on the content alone. It is the difference between 2 and 3 stars, and 1,2, & 5 stars are almost an impossibility for me.

Sacrifice my integrity because it is a struggling first time author that sacrificed theirs out of a lack of confidence in their own work, or maintain my integrity, and be honest, even if I feel guilty as all get out about doing it? I messaged the author and told her what I knew, and how easy it was to find out, but she has yet to answer.

I have roughly 14 hours from now to decide.

[Irene]

I'd say go with the books. I have read some books that I really liked, but I disliked the author due to personal reasons, but I rated the book(s) 4 or 5 stars anyway. You can always just write in your review that you had some trouble deciding on a rating because of xxxxxx, that's what I would do :)

I GOT DEMI LOVATO TICKETS. OMG. I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED.

[Jasna]

Huh? Demi lovato? Aww, im jealous!! :)

[Erin Lynn]

Jasna wrote: "Huh? Demi lovato? Aww, im jealous!! :)"

I've been wanting to see her forever, and I'd been trying to get two tickets, but they were in a group of three and it wouldn't allow to leave a single seat. Finally someone bought the single seat, so I jumped on the two. I'm so happy.
