You're a star! :)
I've been reading The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton to my niece in Melbourne via Skype. A wonderful 45 minutes each night. Does anyone else use Skype this way?

Enid Blyton used to be the only author I would read as a little girl - she was a good start to my reading, but I'm glad I've diversified now!

And congratulations, Melanie! What is the job and what are you studying? Good luck with both!

Brenda, anyone? Where do I find the part that shows me "Authors like" as in authors who write similar to another author?I have seen it before and can remember where now; silly me:) Appreciate anyone's help here - ta!
Mod
The only thing I can suggest is you join another group which has authors you like...you can do that in the search box, and there will be comparison authors there. For example, I belong to another crime group which gives me different authors similar to the ones I enjoy.
Of course our varying threads will give you other authors too, which are similar...it depends on your genre choice...good luck:)

View from our table:
and further around the beach the kite fliers were out and about:
How beautiful was the weather!!

Looks like you had a great day. Wonderful pictures.
I also spent a lot of the day outside in the beautiful weather. I was doing some gardening which I enjoy and I also cleaned a few windows. A bit of a spring clean you could say :)

They are showing for me Michael?? Maybe reload/refresh the page?
I'm having the same problem as Michael, Brenda. I have reloaded the page - no pictures :(
Mod
The images actually say that you deleted them. And even if I click on them and go to photobucket, they're apparently deleted there too.
Mod
Yes Michael, firefox. Can you see the photos I put in the favourite photo thread? http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Yes! Looks like you had a wonderful day!

What a beautiful day for you. Are you trying kite flying anytime soon:)
Couldn't see your garden photos Brenda but these ones are lovely. Glad you had a lovely day. So did we at Greenwell Point. Also sunny. Had fun feeding pelicans.
Gorgeous day down here at the end of the Great Ocean Road too! My sister and I went to the Allansford nursery; bought my 75th rose (Mother's Love) for the garden and a beautiful camellia (Hawaii).
We had a lot of laughs trying to fit the 5ft camellia into the Lexus:) Finally gave up and the guys delivered it around 5pm. I was still gardening at 6.30pm...

That is a very cool feature, Bette! And I was totally unaware of it - thank you! It's very small and I haven't noticed it before :-) And of course, I was just dying for more suggestions of things to read ;-)
Man I feel like absolute crap today. No idea what's causing it, I just feel really flat and vaguely sick. On desk at work I feel like I'm about to pass out constantly. :/
Mod
That's no good Liam...try drinking some water, you could be dehydrated.

That's a shame, but at least you saw her."
Apparently of all the footage they took, one bit they didn't cut was me in the queue for the signing!! Unfortunately I forgot to watch Today Tonight last night: two people sent me an email to tell me they saw me!
It was a very enjoyable lunch once we dried out from the rain.
