[Allison]

no no! no more TBR! haha. I'm stressed enough.

[Allison]

hahahaha!

[Becky]

Is that a seedling I see sprouting there at the top?

[Jackie]

Came back to almost 300 posts...not bad ladies!! I thought for sure it would be more though.

Allison, your ability to devour books always amazes me! I've already added Graceling to my pile btw. Let me know about the Georgette Heyer you bought. I saw one of her books at the library, but resisted since I have so many out.

Okay, next question from the observation deck: Where do you all live - well, not exact address, but maybe country, county, state, or whatever ...

Liz from USA: Massachusetts

[Jackie]

Jackie: Connecticut..yayyyy we're in the same time zone :-)

[Jackie]

Is it just the keyboard that is giving you trouble?

[Jackie]

What kind of laptop is it? Can you call the company and trade it in?

[Jackie]

Well at least you have that option. You can try going online to look at what other budget laptops are out there and look at the customer reviews.

[Jackie]

Yeah, but you shouldn't have to spend extra money for keyboard when it should work.

[Jackie]

I really need to write reviews for the books I've read, but I have nothing clever to say :/

[Jackie]

If I could get another laptop I would definitely get a Mac, but I just got this one last year and it works perfectly fine. I think they had Macs on sale since the new ones came out. You should look into it if you take yours back.

[Becky]

You could get one that reads your mind. Then you wouldn't have to worry about it. ;)

[Becky]

You would just have to make sure that it knows to filter out Evilness. There should be a setting somewhere for that.

[Jackie]

I don't think there is filter strong enough for Fiona. lol.

[Becky]

Maybe you could get a "Typing Wand", like Homer Simpson's "Dialling Wand"...? Hehehe...

[Allison]

We have a Mac desktop and I LOVE IT. I would kill for a Mac lappie, but I have a like....5 year old Dell that is still chugging along, so I'm satisfied for now.

Jackie, I'm really looking forward to reading the Georgette Hayer I bought! It isn't the one I wanted the most, but don't think all of them are still in print (not sure). I'll let you know when I read it :)

[Allison]

although, like Fiona, I do think everything Apple is overpriced.

Seems like everything is switching over to it though.

[Allison]

alrighty then, finished An Assembly Such As This, but I don't really feel like going on with the next in the trilogy right now, so...

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell it is. YAY! I'm so excited to read this.

I'm, from Northern Israel.
I think I have a kidney infection which kept writhing around in pain all night so neither me or hubby slept well.
Now I have to decided whether to stay home form work or try to survive on pain killers.

[Becky]

Esther, go to the doctor! I had a kidney infection once and it was seriously one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. They can get really out of hand too, so go to the doctor!

Oh me and kidney infections are well acquainted I know need anti-biotics. And painkillers. I had my kids with natural childbirth but with this type of infection I take the strongest painkillers I can get.

But the Docs is opposite where I work so I could nip over mid-morning. And I too sick to deal with all the cr*p involved in not going to work.

[Allison]

ewwww, bugs are my enemy, dead or alive.

I would have screamed and thrown it too. Except then my dog would have probably thought it was a treat and eaten it.

I tried to go to sleep early last night, so I only got about 25 pages into North and South...so far so good! I mean, I feel like I already know the characters so I'm having fun reading it.

Probably I'll finish The Stand after North and South, or perhaps I'll take a break from N&S to finish it...I dunno.

[Allison]

eeeek! I don't think I could read it at night, I'm probably a weenie.

Have you read Wives and Daughters? We should read that one of these days.

[Allison]

yeah, I don't think we get the BBC station that actually plays the mini series here, although I'm not sure. Its like a BBC America station and it seems like it only ever has shows like Cash in the Attic/You Are What You Eat...and shows like that, not movies.

[Allison]

WOOHOO! The library just called, and Howl's just came in for me :)

[Allison]

yeah, I would probably veg out in front of BBC 24/7 if I could watch the movies all the time.

Yes, after reading a fantastic book called Graceling by Kristin Cashore I am excited to try Howl's Moving Castle.

[Allison]

hahahaha.

[Allison]

the crunchy cheetos are the best :)

I would send you some, but they would be smashed.

[Allison]

LOL...I read a Stephanie Plum novel over the weekend where...well...wait...first of all, Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter, when people get a bond and get out of jail, and then don't show up for court...she has to go track them down and bring them in.

ANYWAY...one of the people was a lady that held up a Frito Lay truck and stole all the "Cheez Doodles." And ate like a 100 bags of them. LOL. It cracked me up. Then she got stressed about having to go to court and held up ANOTHER truck, and ate a ton more...and then couldn't find any clean clothes because everything had orange stains on them.

HAHAHAHAHA.

[Allison]

So, it could be worse. :)

[Allison]

I'm going to start calling them knobley cheetos, I can see it now. I've already started calling our trailer a caravan...hahaha.

[Allison]

yeah...gypsy sounds way better than white trash.

[Allison]

I AM completely cracked :)

[Allison]

thats true.

[Allison]

all this talk about cheetos has made me hungry.

Lunch is 1 hour away! :(

I have leftover homemade pizza though :) yummm.

[Allison]

and tonight I get to eat here:

http://www.freddysfrozencustard.com/

then I'm going to see Confessions of a Shopaholic. I'm excited to see it! The books make me laugh.

[Allison]

everyone in my office right now is standing around and talking and goofing off...I want to get out my book and read! lol.

How sad is that?

[Allison]

I am DYING to meet Mr. Thornton in N&S. I can't wait to read the book, and go watch the movie with my mom next week. yay :)

So are the characters in IT children? I don't really know anything about the book.

[Allison]

I know she describes "the big moment" as a "delicious silence"...right?

[Allison]

*swoon* so romantic...

I want Mr. Thornton. Big time. Forget cranky Mr. Darcy.

[Allison]

I get so mad now everytime I think about how popular P&P is, when it SHOULD be N&S.

[Allison]

I really want to read Ruth too, it sounds very good.

[Lisa Julianna]

Hey Fiona how is It coming along?

[Lisa Julianna]

I know what you mean. I love to finish one I get all excited and then love the dilema of what to choose next. hehe!!!

[Allison]

My favorite feeling in the world is when I finish a great book that I know is a 5 star (most recently this is Graceling by Kristin Cashore), and the second I read the last word I immediately want to just...start over and read the whole thing again.

When a book is that good, it makes reading so worthwhile.

*sigh*

[Allison]

hey Fiona...that plug was a BIT more subtle...sorta.
