message 117: by Jenn (new)

Jenn Keller (bluejenn116) | 425 comments I'm game Michele-I only read the dedication this morning and won't actually start the book till I get home as I can never cheat reading at work on Friday's...just too crazy! :-)

Michele (guilliem) | 2131 comments I woke up at 4 and couldn’t get back to sleep ...so I read for a while before work...got up to 25%...then real life came knocking...I don’t know how to set up a BR...maybe one of our other friends on here does ...we’ll see what we can do.

Nay!! Welcome back...I hope you're feeling ok 😁 what a week you've had!


message 139: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments Nay, I’m so glad you are ok. I’ve been so worried about you.
Welcome back. And pretty soon you will be as good As new.
Hopefully you organised your health insurance before you had your accident. Lots of big squeezy hugs and kisses. ❤️


message 140: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) Thanks, Judy and Melinda. Although I'm thrilled to be home, I'm definitely missing the I.V. pain meds. I've never known pain like this.

And regarding our insurance, we have 60 days from the date of our COBRA notification (11/16) to choose to participate in it. And while $2,500/month seemed like a ton a week ago, knowing that the charges are probably pretty extensive gives me all the incentive I need to do it. I'll just have to see how the costs shake out with using only my Medicare vs Cigna plus Medicare.

Michele (guilliem) | 2131 comments I just finished An Exaltation of Larks (Venery, #1) by Suanne Laqueur and I am just speechless. Wow! What an amazing book! Thanks for the nudge Grey! I so loved it!! It's an obvious 5+ stars for me!!

Teri (ldyridr) | 85 comments Wasn't it great! I loved, loved, loved AEOL too. Have you read this authors Fish Tales? On my all time favorites list...

Yes!! I love the Fish Tales! I actually haven’t read the third book in the series (Here to Stay) yet...it’s on my short list ...along with A Charm of Finches. She is definitely one of my favorite authors!

Yay! Glad you liked it! :)


message 146: by JudyCa (new)

JudyCa | 1709 comments Ok, so I finished Rainfall and I'm sorry to say it was only a 2..5* for me...I just didn't feel the connection to the mc's...the story itself was unique (to me) and it was sad and heartbreaking but I honestly didn't like her writing style...I really have a hard time when an author places a book in the states and then uses slang from elsewhere...I've come across this before and really bugs me...I know some of you really liked it and I can totally see how it would wreck you, but I just didn't feel it :)


message 147: by Ela (new)

Ela | 4291 comments AND THAT IS WHY I WILL NOT BE READING THAT BOOK. Psssttt Judy, are you a fan of the C- or Cunt Book?


message 148: by Michele (new)

Michele (guilliem) | 2131 comments Ela, help me...what is the thing that will read my book to me on my iphone...can't remember the name...help...I'm addicted to Abruption.


message 149: by Michele (new)

Ela, there were other nibblets that I didn't mention as well, so I don't really think you'd enjoy it...
and before you read this spoiler, let me get out of striking range, lol...(view spoiler)
