Sue (youvebeensued) Cool! :D


message 3: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) Hello, my book buddies! How are you all? :)


message 4: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) Sure! I love books mainly of horror, suspense, thrill, romance (it's a must!), paranormal/supernatural....I hope you get it.
But I also like books with a sweet romance..something that is a light read. You know, the ones that end up having a sweet smile on your ace. :)


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments Oh I once read a book that was so sweet and then, the ending was so sad that I was crying and shouting "why??!!" at random times for a whole month.


message 6: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) Hey Rue, I totally agree with you! Happens with me a lot! ;)

I cried so much when I read Bridge to Terabithia!!!


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments You guys should try reading Forbidden. It's so horribly sad!!:'(


message 11: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) I agree..Bridge to Terabthia is so emotional!


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments Lol. I haven't read it yet. And you mentioned it twice. Is it good?

It has a soothing effect! Admit it!! Though I can honestly say I've only ever seen that happen in movies - that theory has never been tested in real life by me!

I tried eating Hägenn Dans or some German or French ice cream while re reading Sing me To Sleep. It made me finish the book without crying. But I did tear up.


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments You should SO try it!!! It works miracles!!!!


message 19: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) Speaking of ice-creams, what flavors do you guys like the most?


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments Vanilla, Chocolate Chip and Green Apple.


message 21: by Lauren (new)

Lauren | 23 comments oh wow lol cookie dough or oreos ;) mmm, this is making me hungry


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments Omg!!! I love that too!!! But it's SUPER hard to find in Singapore.


message 23: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) Guess I'm the only one to like Strawberry! ;)


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments Oh! What the hell. I love all types of ice cream!!!!!


message 25: by Lauren (new)

Lauren | 23 comments Reading back on the thread I see the natural progression and think it was inevitable... *Laughs* somethings just go together although personally i haven't tried this one.... I have done the ice cream and movies thing..
* is now wondering if i should try it with a book and will it make a mess....?? thoughts?


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments No it will not make a mess. Did you not read my equation above??


message 27: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) No, it doesn't make a mess. Well, I do make a mess sometimes! *laughs sheepishly*


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments Lol. Do you at least clean it up???


message 29: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) Yeah, I need to. My mom obviously won't clean up my mess! But the book is saved all the time! I'm da one who baths with ice-cream while having it! And for that, my mom claims that I'm still the same 8-year old! ;)


Rue~alwaysa1directioner~ (Ruealwaysa1directioner) | 104 comments Haha. So which part of India do you live in?


message 31: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) Kolkata, West Bengal. Are you an Indian by birth, I mean, by descent?
