It took us a few days to reassure him that he didn't have to hide behind the sofa every time he saw a pair of feet. To start with he would attack legs for no reason at all but he calmed down after a few years.

I think book covers are very important. Sometimes a reaaly good one will cause me to buy the book without even checking the description first.

It.s true the books are better but I like the show also and love it when Bill says Sookies name.
Sheri wrote: "I love Bones...didn't know it was based on a book series."You really need to read them, so very much better than show. Totally different relationships with characters.

Thanx in advance for your help.

Can't really go wrong with red dwarf, comedy Sci-Fi. Definitely a light read.

by John Corwin. I liked it :)
Sheri wrote: "How about by John Corwin. I liked it :)"Have you tried the Sabriel, Lirael and Aborsen? It's a series by Garth Nix. Looking at that I think it's something you might enjoy. I certainly did.

I think I will be moving back to Austin so thats a major deal because I won't have to live so far from my job.
Second I might be up for a new position at my job but I have to wait until March to find out if I got it or not....
Third I just finished Half Black Soul and it was insane! There is nothing like this series because it surely rocks!

Product Description
Centuries ago, when Earth was not under the control of God, it was controlled by a cruel and heartless creature, called Neuron. Coming to our planet, God saw, how Neuron treated as his subordinates. God and Satan decided to take to hands the authority on Earth. It was very difficult mission. God and Satan adapted all the people and their feelings.
In XXI century a young man from a wealthy family found new potentials, that ancestors of humanity and Neuron had. It becomes to him what had happened centuries ago and behind it hunting of angels has begun.
If by "light" you mean not too intense on the science, my novel Twin-Bred may be suitable. Lori wrote: "I'm doing a Feb. Challenge in another group and would like some "light" Science Fiction suggestions to read next month.

And if so, I can't find the group on my page anymore and am trying to figure out if the group got cancelled or if I got kicked out. Anyone have any info on the group?Oh and Tt, good luck on the promotion!!!!

@Tana, I thought you may have been because I keep wondering if our names are sounded out the same...lol@Sheri, it was a group that was dedicated to all adult books...no YA allowed. So, BDB, Dark Hunter, Anita Blake...etc. etc. I liked it because it turned me on (pun intended, haha) to new authors.
Mod
I believe there were, but I also remember reading back in some older post people saying "oh, awesome I'm so glad the group is back"....so it seems like something like this has happened before??? I dunno, I was thinkin about looking in past emails to find a mod and ask, buuuuuttttt am I that invested? I may just wait and see.....

Pretty dress! I have 17 y/o twin girls making me look at on-line prom dresses all day long. Yikes - there are some budget busters there!
Mod
She just turned 17. She's been bugging me for weeks about dresses! This one was twice what I would spend, so she's making up the difference.
That's so funny - One of my girls was showing me dresses on that very site today. Small world.
Mod
I was apart of that group also.I didnt realize it was gone until you said so...I used to get some good books from their and they had a ton of followers. I wonder what happened :(

"Do you have enough friends? The answer should be no. No matter how many friends we have, more of them increases our wealth. That's because friends are one of life's valuable assets. You just can't have too many friends.
Make a Friend Day is a great opportunity to meet someone new, or do something to make a new friend. Making a new friend can be easier to do than you think. There must be a gadzillion ways to make new friends. It often helps by smiling and just being friendly or helpful.
Spend "Make a Friend Day" being just being friendly, and by doing special or nice things for others."

I am not a mod and I don't do any blogs or anything like that......and I am still hooked on this website. I left my laptop behind last weekend and about went crazy without my few hourly check ins with the site. LOL
Mod
I'm sorry I haven't been around as much as I use to but I have been super busy this past couple of weeks that I'm trying to catch up on everything! But thankfully we have some awesome mods who help to keep the group going. :) So thanks to everyone who has faith in this group and I enjoy you guys every time I come here!
So that's why you've been a bit quiet, Tt. Glad to have you back!
