SO SO Sorry to anyone who has received a million billion updates from me! I've been updating my lists as to which books I own etc and my brother just phoned to say he had 112 updates from me overnight! Ooops, didn't know that would happen. So if my update-super-fest has affected you I apologise. You'll be pleased to know my lists are finally updated so no more.

Maggie you are able to change your profile settings to limit what your update feeds are. I would recommend this to everyone as most of the time I am not really interested in what you ate for breakfast. :D

[[deleted user]]

That is your choice Carmel. I think Goodreads has it backward. We should be able to filter what people feed us. (a little at least)

Read-it, read-it, read-it.

KL I am shocked by your obedience. Maybe you've been spending too much time in that naughty corner and it's finally had some impact on you. I need to influence you back to the dark side. Mwahahahahahah.

Was that...'you have read it', or 'you must read it'?? Cos what I took it to be, and what Knowledge took it to be, are different ;D

There is nothing like a little ambiguity to cause confusion. It works both ways and now I have one of my minions reading it, so I'm not going to complain or explain. :D

Not feeling too well...I wonder what caused my stomach ache?
Could it possibly be that I went to Hungry Jacks after school with friends. Then to KFC. Then to the pancake store?
Maybe. Im such a fatty ;)

[★ Jess]

Well, I can count how many times Ive eaten from places like that on one hand. This was the first time in ageeeees. So yeah, I'll forgive myself.

My congratulations to Kim Scott too. a great Aussie writer who gets down into what it is like to be an Aboriginal battling to be recognised in their own country. Laurel
