The size of the books was a little intimidating to me. I can handle bigger books now. I don't care how long they are anymore, I'm going to read them with great anticipation.

I can't see your picture:( We went to the Midnight Madness for the last 3. Darby and Brady dressed up, but Shaun was "Too cool" for that. He wasn't too cool to stay up all night reading, though!!
Oh, but it's so much fun. They handed every child a pair of Harry Potter glasses, a little (tiny, only 4) bag of Bertie Bott's every flavor beans, and they got a polaroid with the cut outs of Harry, Ron and Hermione. There were readings, games, it was great. Ours was at Barnes and Noble's.
yeah they were fun! I went to them for the last 3. Total chaos, it was fantastic.
I got Wives and Daughters in from BookMooch today too! Yay.
I didn't like the miniseries that much. But I think the book will be much better.
Allison, you ahve an exciting life with all these deliveries of movies and books. I get excited about mail! (well, mail that's not a bill)
lol, I know. BookMooch rocks. I only have a couple more things coming though...then I'm taking a break from it. Shipping got a tad expensive.K...I'm off again, hubby and I are going to Subway. :) Its within walking distance, very nice.
I'm hungry too. I ate those two little eggrolls, and that's it.I have 2 hours and 15 minutes left. aaaaargghh
I thought sims was where you simulated a farm or amusement park or something. Is there also a different kind of thing?
Is it a game? You mean you just make up kids and things? Can you win? HOW do you win?
Ummm... WOW! I had no idea! I didn't read the entie thing yet, but I haven't gotten to the sex part. I swear, that's like something out of an Asimov novel.
Haha! I just read the part about the cheat code allowing you to see Barbie and Ken like genitals! Hilarious. You couldn't make that up and be believed.
Today is Barbie's 50th birthday. They made a cugar Barbie video.http://jeffandjer.star941sandiego.com...
I feel better :) I love Subway. I just hate the way you smell when you leave. When I worked there I always dove straight into the shower when I got home.
I hate the way my car smells when I've driven around with the sandwiches for even just a little while. Gross. But I love to eat them. What kind did you get?
That's why I don't really think King is a horror writer. Yes, he is writing about technically scary stuff, but it's not even remotely realistic to me. Misery, Cujo and Gerlad's Game are things that could really, truly happen, so are much scarier to me.
A dog that gets rabies. He lives out in the middle of no where, and havoc entails. It's very, very good. King draws all the characters with such detail, that you physically hurt for them. I have always carried in my car a box with water and snacks because of that book.
A club to carry in the car as a result of Cujo? LOL
See, I can imagine blood coming out of a book very seriously, but if a director tries to film that, it just doesn't translate!
As far as Cujo goes, that book completely translated to screen. Dee Wallace Stone (the mom from E.T) plays the main character, and she should have won an Oscar.
Ha ha! I didn't know if anyone would get it. My Templeton doesn't look like a rat.
Damn I came back to 400 and something posts!That cougar Barbie video was halirious!
I think it feels like tons! I have been conciously trying to check between every task at work for an opportunity to post.
Oh! I friended myself. It really does say silly! Too cute.
Okay! over 600 posts since I was here last. I don't think I can catch up. I think that 9000 posts would not be out of the questions for March 1st. You all up for it!
Rachel that picture is so cute!
I've only read the first Harry Potter book but told my son that I will read them to him once we finish war of the worlds.
But we need only a couple more for 7000. You can't go to bed!
Jackie: you aren't the only one to come back to tons of posts! I think your a head of me. I'm going backwards.
Come now Fiona you can't leave yet with so few to hit 7000.
Do any of you think that this particular thread is the longest thread in any GR book group?
I think potentially that it is.

Emilee, I've been meaning to re-read HP for the last year and just haven't made the time for it. How did you son enjoy it? Has he seen the movies?
No, but you could read a really short kids books.
Some of us were talking about trying to schedule a time to do a re-read of the whole HP series. You could read for the first time with us:)
I haven't read that book since like 1989. I remember that "It" was huge. My girlfriend and I read it one night when we were suppose to have a sleep over. We couldn't sleep it scared us.
I think I would like to listen to them on CD. I never did, and would probably enjoy that and it would count as a re-read. It would take forever, though, since I listen on my work commute only.
You are an adult Miss Sassy Pants. I bet it was scary to little girls!
I'm off in 8 minutes. I don't think I'll see 7000:(
There you go, Harry Potter re-read. Sad thing is that I own all of them in first editions but couldn't get them away from my daughters. I read them the 1st book after that they were reading on their own.
We are going on vacation April 2nd so I told my son we would take at least the 1st & 2nd HP book with us and read it by the pool if the weather is nice we would lay on a blanket by the Mississippi.
