Hi, I am Alice too! or I sometimes sign myself Alice cullen since I am a Twi-hard. I already know a few people here from other lists. Some of my other aliases (is that plural?) are:

Alice Lavender

Lady Alice which I got from Lady Danielle last year around Christmas

I have read a few Daniel Silva's as my son reads them.

Thanks Hugh and for adding me as a friend. I warn you I am a big fan of the neverending quiz so you will have to let me know if I am overloading you. Lady Danielle knows and maybe Mike too.

Hi Mike, we know each other from at least two other groups.

Better late then never....

Welcome, Marge, Norm and Amy!!!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Hooray! Welcome Back Eileen. Better with you than without you too.

[Amy]

Hey Eileen!!!!

[Jason, Gone but not forgotton]

Welcome back, Eileen! :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Glad you are back, Eileen. The gang's all here!

[Eileen]

It's nice to be back! Thanks!

[Eileen]

I think I forgot to say Welcome, Alice!

I'm also a Twilight fan.

[Amy]

If you guys want to take a look at some adult action/adventure I hope you get a chance to look at my video sometime :)

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

You have a video? (how adult we talkin?)

[Amy]

Very funny!!! Well, there are lions in it - and except for the stone manes - they are completely naked. :) Something for animal lovers... LOL I hope your game went well!!!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

It did, my daughter was the star of the show. Well, at least in my eyes. She was teaching the girls cheers during their break.

Thanks Eileen, I am always THRILLED to meet another Twilight fan. Want to join a grown up group for Twi-hards?

[Amy]

Good for her, Hugh! My daughter is the same way - leader of the pack! :) It's nice to be blessed with great kids!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

You should see her dance/Gymnastics. My girl can pop out a power cartwheel (more difficult than I thought for a 6 year old) with toes pointed, then drop into the splits fast enough to make Daddy and Bubba (brother) wince then do a back walk over. Without a spotter.

[Amy]

Holy cow. I would break every part of my body if I tried to do even one of those things. Mine is a runner and is studying to save sharks. Yup...sharks. A pure animal lover she leaves NO species out :)

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I think my son (4 y/o) is going to make bullet trains with wings that fly over water and land back on tracks.

He loves Thomas the Train, and all things train.

I think my daughter is setting up a run for public office. She'll say "hi" and start talking to anyone.

[Amy]

Your son's job sounds more fun...but we definitely could use a GOOD politician - so she should keep at it. And, of course, I have to keep at it too. Back to the world of Hypatia LOL.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Looking for the ghost of the super-librarian? (meaning no deference to Noah Wiley)

[Amy]

LOL. Yes...

Wait till she goes to her first cheerleading banquet...she'll be hooked for life.

Kids sure make life fun.

[Amy]

Hey everyone, I have to share...a magazine just released an article about 13 and its connection with famous libraries - a great piece that I've put up on my blog page. Hope you can check it out!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Do you have a link to your blog?

She's already hooked. When we went to the beach this summer, she was doing her power cartwheels on the sand, toes pointed, and dancing. three people unrelated to us came up to tell us how good she was and that she should be in gymnastics, cheer or dancing classes.

I hope I don't seem too much like a proud pappa.

[Amy]

You can never be too proud of your girl, Hugh!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Okay, I'll take that for action, Amy. I was throwing the football with my son. He's got a pretty good arm for 4. Not sure how that compares. More Accurate than he used to be.

[Amy]

Maybe you're raising the next Montana.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Maybe. We aren't sure what he's going to want to do yet. He's kind of shy. he's also spooky smart. (as my mother says).

[Amy]

God bless spooky smart - we need more of those.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I keep tellin' him that he needs to use his Jedi Powers for good, not evil.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

My 4 year old son, and that's what my mother says about him meaning he solves things very quick. Puts together puzzles rapidly, figures out how things work without being taught. Not magic, just a good inquisitive work ethic.

Kindle is good for indie publishers and for classic books. You can get some really good deals on ebooks in both categories. I think some people prefer Kindle for space reasons. I am a paper book person, but ebooks definitely have their advantage. I read a lot of ebooks for my review gig and for classic horror. I'd never give up my paper books.

[Amy]

Maybe he could help me with my books, Hugh. I love solving puzzles :)

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

He might, but he takes payment in hugs and giggles.

[Amy]

Whew...as long as it's not hundreds, I'm good :)

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

At least not yet. He can put a fifty piece puzzle together by himself in ten minutes. And he zips through memory games on my wife's cellphone so fast it's hard for me to follow him. He has a very good memory.l

[Amy]

Good Lord. I used to be like that. Now, with age, it's hard to remember my own name. :)

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Uh... who are you again?

(P-{D> (Just kiding.)

[Amy]

LOL. I don't know - sometimes I have to look in the mirror for a reminder (that's scary!) But I did write my name on a sheet of paper just to keep it in mind. It's...ah...here it is...Sophia Loren.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

They make me wear a nametag at work.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

That's the plan here, soon you'll have to wear a name tag any time you're logged in on Goodreads...

I think I'm finally going to break down and go Kindle even though I enjoy the actual 'read a book' thing. Several reasons. I'm starting to run out of bookshelf space. I can't drive now because of vision impairment and I'm 20 miles from town, so library trips are once or twice a month AND the library is going to be adding online Kindle as an option soon. Plus, even though I don't buy a lot of books, all of my purchases are online, so regardless of price, there is $4 shipping on everything. It wouldn't take too long for just the savings on shipping costs to pay for a 'no frills' Kindle.
