I just bought a subscription to Games Magazine's World of Puzzles. It's all Cheryl's fault! She started talking about Sudoku and logic puzzles, and the next thing I knew, I was shouting CHARGE IT!

Give me a crossword puzzle instead : )
Puzzles! My preferred entertainment when flying (I can never concentrate to read on planes) - I've spent nearly 24 hours doing Sudoko's when I flew back home last time!I've picked up three Kindle books today:
The Knife of Never Letting Go
The Burn
Everything You Need to Survive the Apocalypse

I got this from Judy in the mail today:
And Darren bought me:

All 5 books look great, Kimberly.
I won a copy of

When did you win it? Hopefully you get it soon I've heard this one is a really good read.
I got the notice about a week ago. They say 4-6 weeks delivery. It does sound really good. And I love the cover. :)
They usually come in within 2 weeks.., :-)

Janice wrote: "I just bought a subscription to Games Magazine's World of Puzzles. It's all Cheryl's fault!

And you bought a subscription so you're in serious trouble.
Autumn wrote: "They usually come in within 2 weeks.., :-)"I wish I got mine that fast they rarely come before 3 weeks. One of mine got lost in the mail and the author refused to send me another copy.
Then perhaps I got lucky when I got mine..
I've got, um, nothing since Sunday. Four days. Withdrawal symptoms kicking in.And I'm not even TRYING not to buy anything - maybe the TBR guilt is bigger than the "ohhh pretty" feeling!

I'm going to get in a supply of pencils in preparation. :)

LOL I love crossword puzzles and other types of puzzles and I also use pencil : ) My boyfriend and son are both Sudoku fanatics and do them daily (sometimes a half a puzzle book or more a day) and they both share the love of using pencils.
I didn't know that there were pencil lovers in this world. :)

Janice, I hear you. One sheet of paper on a solid surface and pencils feel great to write with. But on a softer surface, like in a notebook, I'll got with a pen if it's handy. (Geez, are we nerds or what? Look what we're talking about; in front of other people, yet!) LOL
LOL! Somehow I think they'll understand. :)

LOL @ Nerds....I guess we fall under the category of bookworms too.
Robin, no question about it; we're all a bunch of bookworms. :)
Anne wrote: "Robin, no question about it; we're all a bunch of bookworms. :)"And I don't really care...I will be a nerd and a bookworm...just give me pencils,puzzles,books and computer and I am happy : )
Anne wrote: "I didn't know that there were pencil lovers in this world. :)"Oh, yes, pencils are serious business. You've never heard of The Palomino Blackwing pencil? Apparently the earth stopped revolving at the same time it went out of production but lucky for us the company was purchased and the pencil is once again available!!!

Anne, you know that this is an all-inclusive group. Welcome your pencil loving sisters with open mind and arms. ;D
Very nice pencils, Mikki. (Do you use those Blackwings? ) Don't get me wrong. I am pencil loving sister! I use them all the time (the "automatic" ones). But, as explained above, I used pencils and pens for different things.
No, I use gel pens because they're easier for me to write with (don't require as much pressure), but if I did use pencils those Blackwings would be very tempting to try at least once!Maybe one of the pencil users here will purchase and let us live vicariously. Janice? Robin?
I've never heard of them. They may not be available in Canada. I prefer mechanical pencils.
