Ha, I had to take a break to post this. I like the series so much, I went straight from the second into the third one. (Thankfully I had enough smarts to request them from the library at the same time.) It's going to suck to have to wait until the fourth one is published. :(

"Dang Stacy! They must be good. You're making me want to read them and I am already reading too many right now...LOL! That's how I was with The Clique series too. I need to start the Alpha series too.

I haven't started another one yet, not sure what I want to read.

The Pretty Little Liar series is a good one. They are easy reads as well.
I liked the PLL series until the 5th book. I had to stop for awhile after 6 because it became too whiny for the characters. I will possibly pick it back up here soon though. The only thing that keeps me wanting to keep on reading in the books is the dang cliffhangers. Sara is extremely good at those.

Lisi is good with the cliffhangers too!!! That's what made me start right in on the next book with the MH and Alpha series! :)

Good luck!

I will probably get back to them here soon.

Thanks, I'll need it for this one. I don't know that it's going to be super hard, but it will be super time consuming. And you know how much time I (don't) like to spend on my classes.
Don't stay out of the game for too long, makes it harder to go back. But that's cool that you only have eight left, you'll be done in no time. I've got it figured out that if I start getting a little agressive with my classes, I can be done by the end of spring quarter next year. :)

I have a feeling I will be exhausted when I start working full time again.

OMG, seriously, if you go on for your B.A. and have to take Statistics, DO NOT take any other classes. I feel like I should've taken a sabbatical from work in order to get everything done. It's not that it's hard (not yet anyway), it's SO time consuming. Each problem has so many steps to get from point A to point B, it's ridiculous. Just ridiculous. I am so mentally exhausted from working on it for six hours straight last night - just the homework problems. I didn't even get the critical thinking assignment done (worth 40 points!) and she doesn't accept late work. :( I don't know what kind of grade I'm going to get in this class if I keep running out of time to get stuff turned in. If I hadn't done my participation at work, I wouldn't have even had that for yesterday. UGH! 35 days left....
Mod
No, I'm not pushing myself so much this year to read. I need to change it to 30 books though because I think that's what I put for my GR challenge. I'm stepping up on my classes and trying to take more again so I can be done by the end of Spring Quarter next year. That means less reading (and everything else) time. :( But, when I'm done, I'll be done! Unless I get a job someplace that'll pay for a Master's. :)

I should have taken each class separately. I think I was doing 80 hours of school work each week and I didn't have time to read or participate in anything. I took Business Law by itself because I though that would be the harder one and I barely had any work to do. It was so easy. I will remember to take that class (if I have to)by itself. Actually, I took that class at KVCC so maybe it will transfer. Good luck!

I am looking for something that has tuition reimbursement but so far there is not much out there.

Another book I wish I hadn't waited so long to read. OMG, I was SO able to relate to this book. There are some real weirdos out there on the dating websites!

"I am still waiting for this book from the library!!! Was it good?"
Yeah, I really liked it. Makes me nervous about all the advances in AI. Get the Playaway, who knows when the book will be in.

I didn't realize it was on the Playaway. Thanks! I'm going to look it up now. :)

Nevermind! I decided to check my library account and the book is ready for me to pick. YAY! I guess I will get it this weekend.

Cool, enjoy, it was really good. But stick with it in the beginning, otherwise you may get confused with all the different characters if you start, stop and start again later.

On No!!! I hope I don't get confused. I am picking it up today. YAY!!!
