Jessica (j_p_higgins) Hey guys - how do you make a favorites shelf? You know where it shows the book covers of your favorites above the regular bookshelves on your profile?

If you go on your profile (you know where other peoples favorite shelves are?) It should say make a favorites shelf, And then if you go to a book page on a book you've read it says edit shelves check the box that says favorites! :D Or if you can't do that i think this will work:

When you click on edit shelves click ''create a new shelf'' And type in favorites and go back to your favorite books and add the to that shelf along with ''read''. Or when you are finished reading a book and a page comes up where you rate it you can add it to your favorites shelf from there (this is what i do).

Jessica (j_p_higgins) Finally got it, thanks!

message 208: by Tess (new)

Tess You're welcome Jessica! I didn't realize you were the same Jessica we've talked to before your icon change confused me lol.

And Mariana i haven't read it but i ordered it :D


message 209: by Jessica (new)

Jessica (j_p_higgins) lol oopsie, I just thought I'd put up a real pic. Didn't think about that though... Jessica is such a common name. I swear when I was in school there were always at least 3 more of me.

i wanna read it so bad :(


message 211: by Jessica (new)

Jessica (j_p_higgins) i can't wait to read that one either - it sounds really interesting and different.

Tess, let me know how you like The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. I haven't made up my mind about that one, if I want to read it or not.


message 212: by Jessica (last edited Oct 20, 2011 07:59AM) (new)

Jessica (j_p_higgins) oh and girls - I do not have a sample of my story ready yet, but I have a bunch of really weird names. I was trying to do something different that goes along with what kind of people they are.

Would anyone like to read some names in a message and tell me what you think?

You won't know exactly where they came from, but you could just say what ones you think just don't flow well or are just too weird completely. Or if you think one sounds more like a last name than a first name, etc.

message 214: by Jessica (last edited Oct 20, 2011 08:06AM) (new)

Jessica (j_p_higgins) oh it was a graphic image of a red haired girl with the wind blowing in her hair - it was a fairy but i cropped her wings out. it's what i imagine a character as. here, i put her back just not as the icon, but on the extra photos.

I was kind of writing a short story/book (fanfiction type thing) based on the song ''The Hanging Tree'' from Mockingjay :) but i'm a terrible writer :/

haha I'm going to have to adopt an alias so I have something more unique and interesting than that! let's see... I shall call myself... J. Sima Coves. That way I still have the J, so I'm sort of keeping my name haha... at least one letter!


message 231: by Jessica (last edited Oct 21, 2011 05:06AM) (new)

Jessica (j_p_higgins) haha this is what it says about my alias:

Sima
A really smart school girl who will go with strangers for candy.

Ooooo, that's a Sima.

and then:
Sima
SIMA is self-induced mental abuse. (see ma)

Most victims and complainers are persons of SIMA.
I think stupidly, therefore I SIMA.
Bad habits are various forms of SIMA.
SIMA is as SIMA does.
“Some women believe SIMA men can be retrained. These women never succeed because they evidently have SIMA also.”
tags: think, stupid, victim, complain, self, restrain, men, women

I guess at least it's more interesting lol

He's also dating the hottest girl who HAPPENS to be taller than him. well no actually hes not dating her any more. She broke up with him. Were kinda frnds. WEre like Damon and elena. We like each other, but wealso hate each other, and pass snarky comments, witty repartee

message 248: by Jessica (last edited Oct 25, 2011 08:47AM) (new)

Jessica (j_p_higgins) You never know Daphne... love is crazy, hardly ever what you expect. Sometimes you meet the right one early on and sometimes you have to wait. I met/was friends with my husband when I was 15! We ALWAYS flirted with each other, pretty much never paid attention in class if we had a class together. BUT I was dating one of his two best friends... and continued to date this guy all thru high school... and my husband dated the girl who is now my best friend, but she was just sort of my friend in high school... she was in my group of friends but not my best friend at the time. I moved several times, once during high school, and then for college... so I never thought I would end up with someone from my first high school. We met again at a reunion thingy for the guy I had dated coming home from the marines. So our maid of honor at our wedding was his ex and one of our groomsmen was my ex LOL. But we are all just really good friends now. Anyway so not just trying to give you my life story - just saying I guess... I know love can work in strange ways, it did for me, it's unpredictable. Yea, even if they are dating someone now, you never know, maybe or maybe not. (and I mean maybe he lyk lyks you and maybe you'll date, you never know, not talking about marriage here, that's just how it ended up for me after several yearssss).

anywayzzz... I'm all good over here, I guess you could say in the newlywed phase still. 3 years this May!! My only problem is I get SOOOO tired of people asking me when I'm going to have a baby or if I'm pregnant (just b/c I decide I don't feel like drinking alcohol when it's offered or something stupid like that). It's like at first people automatically think that everyone who gets married nowadays just gets married b/c they are pregnant and then now they are like, how can you possibly have not had a baby yet? Umm... marriage does not have to = baby, at least not the minute after you get married. I've just about resorted to telling people I don't want kids to make it easier, even if all I mean is I don't want kids right nowwww. I don't think you guys could really comment on that though ;)


message 249: by Tess (new)

Tess Jessica and Mariana are right! you're awesome and love can work in strange ways! (a couple of my mother's friends children didn't know they were gay and then they started dating each other and found out they were related O.o)

No problems for me at this point in time i personally think someone my age is too young to date considering i'm just about to turn 14. The people at my school have decided its awesome to date when you're only 11/12/13 (either, or) And i swear they have at least 2 bf's/gf's at a time and a new one each day and they swear they're in love (sorry for my rambling) it's really annoying.

And Jessica i've always wanted kids but i don't plan on it for awhile though i do know how annoying it is when people keep pressuring you to do something you're not ready to do. :) (i do stand my ground and tell them no because i've always thought some of the things they do are stupid) (like trying to get me to drink/smoke when i don't want too) (sorry for my rambling yet again) But i'm glad you aren't doing what you aren't comfortable doing just yet.

And the thing that's always scared me about having children is the actual birth/not being a good mom. Luckily i don't have to worry about that for awhile.

When i was about 4 and my mom didn't want to tell me about sex (i had asked where baby's come from) she told me if you ask god to give you a baby he will and if you ask him not to he won't so i always prayed for him not to give me one because i didn't want to get hurt hahaha.
