Its ok so far almost half way, think I wasn't really in the mood to read it so not enjoying it as much as I would have. I wish she would just tell him she saved his job because its annoying me.

Let's do it more towards the end of the month then. Say the 28th? That will give us something to read over the weekend ;)

No i've just this second finished and really liked it, must have just been in a funny mood when I was reading yesterday.

Me too, I've had it for a couple years now! I've heard so much good about it, and my best friend back in high school read it multiple times and gushed over it every time, but I just haven't gotten to it yet...
I'm currently struggling with
. :( Not in the mood for it I guess... *sigh*
Oh, I hate when I'm not in the mood for a certain book. How far into it are you, Gisela? Because, for me, that was a good one. But, I've had books were everyone loved them but me.
I might set aside in favor of
.
I'm now reading Gone Girl
Almost everyone I know had already read this and raved about it so I'm gonna read all of it by the end of this week!
I just finihsed reading
it's one of my freebies but wasn't on GRI added it to GR !
It was a funny short story . It's from a dog POV!
Added the bookcover and other info on that one, Shosho!

I finished
which I really liked. I wasn't happy with the heroine in the second half of the book but I loved Christian. The writing was superb. Now I'm reading
by Ernesto Quinonez and
by Alex Hughes.
I'm reading
it's my first by her and I'm loving it. The banter between Adrian and Sophia is great.
Oh, I was looking at that one, Susan. Wasn't it on sale recently?
Rachel wrote: "I finished which I really liked. I wasn't happy with the heroine in the second half of the book but I loved Christian."Yes, great book, Rachel. But I'm with you; I wished the heroine would have come to her senses a lot sooner. She drove me crazy.

Lisa Kay wrote: "Yes, great book, Rachel. But I'm with you; I wished the heroine would have come to her senses a lot sooner. She drove me crazy."Thanks, Lisa Kay! I'm so glad I wasn't the only one! (view spoiler)
Jenny wrote: "...despite all the reasons I normally wouldn't have."LOL! I've had books like that. Sometimes they end up on my "favorites" shelf.
I'm reading
.I'm also reading
and I'm only on page 19 after a couple of days.The problem is the book is so heavy (it must be about 1kg)I only can read it at home and I've been so tired after work and dinner that I haven't had the energy to read for long and fallen sleep!
I'm trying to go vegan; I've made it almost seven days so far. I'm reading
and enjoying it. However, it was best in the beginning. Maybe b/c I'm a nurse, some of it he rehashes too much for me. But some of his theories are really interesting. Stopped by B&N today and picked up:
Done with

today. Taking a break and will be starting on a book received for review and
tonight.

But no matter I can never do it . How are you doing?
I'm juggling 3 books at a time. Just finished
and today started reading
for a buddy read,
for a couple of team games and now have to start
for my RL Bookclub which meets on Thursday. Argh!

CaroB wrote: "I've heard really good things about Gone Girl "Well I enjoyed the book but I didn't like it much. Both characters are unlikeable as they are too self centered and the ending is really abrupt and bad. The twist in the story in the middle of the book is good though. Kept me going till the end.

ShoSho wrote: "How are you doing?"I'm doing great, Shosho! I started b/c my BFF wanted to do it. I spent a week being vegan for breakfast & lunch, but not dinner (though my protein servings were smaller than previous). I totally thought this was going to be tough to do with the remodel.
Then I went strict vegan for two days and the swelling in my feet dramatically reduced! It was amazing! Realize, my feet were terribly swollen and the skin HURT! After five days it was completely gone. While I still have swollen ankles, my feet are back to normal and I can see the bones in them for the first time in years.
I've been strict vegan for eight full days, with this being the start of my ninth. All my joints still ached for days (as they did b/f this), I'm sure from arthritis, but today I woke up pretty pain free and moving much easier.
With such dramatic results, it is pretty easy to stick with it. I'm shopping more at Whole Foods and they have some wonderful meat substitutes. I'm reading everything I can get my hands on.
And, I've decided the first thing I'll cook in my new kitchen - and fabulous oven - will be a totally vegan meal. So, I'm really scouring the cookbooks. It is fun! I must admit, I'm enjoying Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook: Crazy Delicious Recipes that Are Good to the Earth and Great for Your Bod is the best! But, I'm dying to try Sell Your Soul Pumpkin Cookies I found in Isa Chandra Moskowitz's book, Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar: 100 Dairy-Free Recipes for Everyone's Favorite Treats. I'll let you know if they are any good; if so, I'll post the recipe under our recipe folder.
That's wonderful, Lisa Kay. :)

that's great, Lisa Kay!
Rachel wrote: "That's wonderful, Lisa Kay. :)"Thanks, Rachel! I thought it would be much harder to give up dairy, as I'm an ice cream addict. However, I've resorted to an ice cream alternative, and nibbled on it just a few times. I'm also amazed that I'm not hungry on this plant-based lifestyle at all. Well, if I eat. I've had a few occasions where I've been running around and couldn't stop to eat - which I did b/f this. But, when I take the time, I'm totally satisfied. I've even gone to a vegan restaurant, which I loved.

You're really tempting me I have had a few recipes before when my aunt came over for holiday.
Well, Elishia, it might be for you! I was very skeptical. As I said, I did it mostly for my best friend and because I was
so
miserable. I really thought I'd fail. It has all been a big surprise to me. I love to cook...something I haven't done much of lately (unless I go to a friend's house). I'm loving the beautiful cookbooks! So pretty! This is all new to me. I'm also doing an on-line kickstart program and getting ready to do a video kickstart, too.
I have TiVo and, when I did a search, I discovered they have 50 three minute recipes to watch! Who knew?
Don't think I could do it full time but I might find some nice recipes. Off to have a look.
Lisa Kay, you can probably also find some great vegan cooking vids on youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKgFDh...
