Abigail Sharpe (abigailsharpe) | 2010 comments Being in my car and watching the rainfall is a lot better than getting out my umbrella and going into work.

I hear that.

I love watching rainfall. I can drift in my mind and write the next scene. Thanks Lisa.

Rebecca Winkler (goodreadscomrebecca_winkler) I'm fairly new to goodreads and I'm having trouble manipulating around and finding my place. I write romance/mystery. Romance is story driven not sex driven regarding any sensual/sexy scenes. Any suggestions from the crowd as to what I need to do first? I clicked on add cover so you can see my first book. I hope it comes through.

Lizzie (lizzierw) | 2533 comments I feel a little better thanks Lisa. Just a little weak.


message 3460: by Abigail (new)

Abigail Sharpe (abigailsharpe) | 2010 comments Rebecca, do first for what? You may have more luck asking more specific question in a romance writers group instead or a romance reading one.

No bookcover in your post, Rebecca.

Carol Dobson | 402 comments Daughter and grandchildren have just spent the week with me. Have also been ill with a mild, flu-like illness, which somewhat hampered my running around on wind-swept beaches and after bicycles doing many circuits of Torquay seafront.

Carol Dobson | 402 comments Happy Easter everyone. I will have a quiet one, hopefully. A large chocolate rabbit has been left behind by mistake by visitors and is being nibbled at for its medicinal value.


message 3466: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14527 comments large chocolate rabbits do have medicinal value! ☺

Abigail Sharpe (abigailsharpe) | 2010 comments ...so, I wish I could say your overuse of pronouns is confusing and your modifiers are misplaced and you don't use apostrophes correctly (or at all), but I don't know this person and there was no request for help.

Lizzie (lizzierw) | 2533 comments Morning ladies xxx

Lizzie (lizzierw) | 2533 comments Just got back for a swim, Mum is making me jacket potato with cheese for lunch before she goes to work. Dreadful weather out there.


message 3475: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14527 comments sounds yummy. I go swimming tomorrow.

Abigail Sharpe (abigailsharpe) | 2010 comments What's jacket potato?


message 3477: by Carol (new)

Carol Dobson | 402 comments Abigail wrote: "What's jacket potato?"
It's a baked potato with its skin on and very tasty too. What do you call them in the US?


message 3478: by Carol (new)

Carol Dobson | 402 comments It has just started to rain here and I was expecting sunshine so :(
We lit our coal fire last night and will light it again tonight. That will just have to be our replacement sun for the moment! I read somewhere that sitting in the sun or by a coal/wood fire lowers blood pressure.


message 3479: by Abigail (new)

Abigail Sharpe (abigailsharpe) | 2010 comments Carol, we just call it a potato. :)
Maybe baked potato. Do you slather butter and sour cream on yours?

Usually it's cheese or butter. Have never had sour cream on it.

Melissa Our local library started their summer reading program yesterday! My daughter is excited and so I am.

They have some sweet baskets that you get to put your name in to win... and all you have to do is READ a book for 30 minutes and fill out a card saying what the book was about.

(the teens get to do a lot more than the adults but I am pretty excited about the baskets) Last year I won a basket full on knitting supplies for my mom.

This sounds like a really awesome idea for a reading program.


message 3483: by Carol (new)

Carol Dobson | 402 comments I think libraries are looking for lots of ways to 'win customers' as there is so much competition now with the internet.


message 3484: by Abigail (new)

Abigail Sharpe (abigailsharpe) | 2010 comments How fun! Yay for encouraging reading!
I love winning things. :)


message 3485: by Lizzie (new)

Lizzie (lizzierw) | 2533 comments Going back into the library myself.


message 3486: by Carol (new)

Carol Dobson | 402 comments I visited Agatha Christie's house at Greenway on Sunday. I had been there once before at a Xmas, so it was lovely to see it in the summer. It is on the bank of the River Dart and the setting is spectacular.

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14527 comments I try to visit our library about every month or so. I would love it if they had activities/challenges for teens and adults but all I have ever seen is book reading for children.

But a good kind of exhausted, right? And if you want to feel even better, do an extra 15 minutes in my behalf, but concentrate on the tummy flab when you do my crunches, okay? ;)


message 3499: by Lizzie (new)

Lizzie (lizzierw) | 2533 comments I admit I leave stuff at home sometimes lol.

Abigail Sharpe (abigailsharpe) | 2010 comments Sandwiches, chips, SHRIMP, and gourmet popsicles OMG. I had granny's apple pie. Today I may try mango champagne, if there are any left.
