Happy new year everybody!!

Happy New Year to everyone!

I'm at work for a few hours this New Year's Eve. I hope to be off at 7 or so

I've been spending a few hours in the local used book stores spending gift cards.

I've picked up 4 WW II histories to add the growing pile of books by the bed and this one by the actress Emma Thompson.



I've been told as a toddler my absolute favorite story was "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". I had it memorized to the point that my mother could not change an "a" to a "the" or vice-a-versa. : When I saw it, I just had to have it :)

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I also have fond memories of Peter Rabbit. :)

[ItsMeMel]

Happy New Year to all!

Wishing you all a terrific year filled with good health, wealth, and luck and of course, lots of great books! :)

[Lisa]

Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year!

New Year’s resolution: read more books! How about you?

I did not read enough in 2018.

[Andy]

Happy New Year to all

Me neither. 2018 was my worst reading year ever!!!

I plan on reading more NF this year.

[Linda]

Happy New Year!

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

2018 was a bad year for my reading quota too. But I expect I won't do any better this year either. lol.

Last year I was all enthusiastic about how many books I'd fit into the year. Fail.
A little more timid about promising more attention to my tbr pile this year.

What's weird about 2019...I can no longer see my page count or do my page count form my Home page. Is anybody else noting this? Is this a 2019 thing or have I just not noticed it until now?

[happy]

I can't see them either - I hadn't noticed this before the turn of the year.

A couple of us had noticed it a couple of days ago. But I have just see it’s back up and running. You could still do it on the phone version.

With NF I'd suggest picking a "project", its really helped me stick with more NF & learn about stuff :)

I'm still learning how to navigate this site. I didn't know you could see a page count on your home page. When you say home page, do you mean your Profile page? If so how/where do I see a page count?

Sorry to be such a novice about this.

On the bar, if you click "home" that's the pg we're referring too. On that pg you'll see "currently reading" where mine (for instance) shows War of the Wolf pg 91/352 - its this pg count that we're referring too, in that for a few days it disappeared. :) Hope that helps

Thanks, Andy.
My home page shows the number of books I've read toward my challenge. It doesn't show the number of pages, though. I think that is probably because I never bother to put anything down for "currently reading." I guess if I need to know the number of pages I'm reading, I should start putting that down.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Andy! You were the biggest inspiration with reading the series you’ve been reading :)

I got to my project after watching this video.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY9P0...

and thinking.... How the ?? lols

[Allison]

Interesting video.

Had my volume up higher than I thought and the first time the music really gets going scared the sh*t outta me 😄

[Andy]

Hee Hee Scardy Cat :D

[Bobby]

Music is from the movie Gladiator!!

I have spent the last three hours bringing my Books Read up-to-date. I was marking Books Read on my Kindle but was too lazy to get up and make the list more detailed on the computer. I thought I only had to bring 2018 up-to-date but, no, dummy-me let 2017 go unfinished too! I don't think it's the whole year but at this point I QUIT. Lke Scarlett O'Hara said: There's always tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day.

[Marilyn]

Well, I just checked my list and apparently I went AWOL starting in mid-May 2016. @##!$%!!!

[Adrian]

Question for Terri... have they changed the rules re author events? You used to be able to list events and invite people but the capacity seems to have disappeared...unless my technical bathos is showing yet again.

For anyone interested - Otis is doing well. He had his stiches out last Thursday. There is some significant scaring, esp on the left side. Never the less he still is an avid and enthusiastic walking partner :)

[Allison]

Yay Otis!!!

[Marilyn]

Three cheers for Otis! 😊

[Ace]

Good to hear Otis is recovering well happy.

[Lisa]

Well done Otis!

I haven't heard anything about author changes, but then I am not really up to date with any new author rules.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Yay Otis! :-)

Is anybody else not getting all their notifications? I went for days thinking not a single person had commented in group and then when I checked in yesterday there were heaps of new posts!

I'm going to have to recheck my notification settings in case something is awry.

Works fine for me, sometimes its jus a matter of logging out n logging back in again if you always stay logged on :)

[Marilyn]

All is ok on my end.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I got the notifications for you guys commenting. And Robert commenting on Insurrection thread. So all seems to working okay now.

Bit weird. Might have been a GR glitch for a week. Goodness, it has happened enough over the years where some people have notification issues and others don't and everyone gets confused. lol Just gremlins. :-D

( I never stay logged in.)

HI all. Sorry I am missing for most of the month.
Unfortunately because I am the Mod when things go wrong with me or I get too busy with off-internet stuff, I have to explain why I am missing.
Which, of course, makes it sound like I always have drama.

The thing is, that when you are just a member of a group and not a mod, you have that luxury of cruising in and out of your groups. Maybe posting once a month maybe. You don't feel like you have to explain why you are not around for a month.

I wish I could do that! :-D

But I am a mod, so I have to explain every time something takes me away from visits here.
This time it was a sore back where i could only lay down or lean back in a recliner. No sitting up straight.

I did something to it while doing farmwork. Back to normal this week, only now my husband is home on three weeks holidays from work and we are either in the paddock doing things on the farm, or hanging out together. So my visits to A&M will be sporadic for another couple of weeks while I try to stay off the computer and hang out with the hubby.

Hope you have all been well!!

[May]

We are well & certainly wishing you better days! Seems like your husband’s work break is perfectly timed!! Enjoy!

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Thanks, May! :-D

I'm really putting him to work around the place. He probably can't wait for his holidays to be over.

[Mark]

Good to see you back.

[happy]

Terri, Good to see you back - life does get complicated!

I just love early Spring - 70 degrees (tues) and sunny one day and 6 inches of snow on the lawn 2 days later (thurs) :)

Most of the snow has melted.

[Shell]

Nice to meet you Terri, I am just new here. Sounds like you have been over doing it and could do with a couple of weeks sit down and read.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Hi guys. Sorry for the radio silence. I've been to New Zealand for a holiday, but I have also been very busy.

I have work being published in two essay anthologies due out later this year. I have also completed my first novel and it has been submitted to a publisher for consideration.

Some of you may have noticed that my profile page has been changed to an author page. I figured that with work in one anthology, and another two definites to be added later, that it was time to make the leap to author on here.

However, I'm still moding this group with Terri and still only really on here as a dedicated reader of historical fiction. :)
