Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Oh I super excited both for you and because I finally get to read more of it. You don't know what it was like only getting to part of the book!

School work is always good to get done. I should really listen to a lecture this afternoon, or what's left of it, but I really don't think it would stick when I am this tired.


message 302: by Holly (new)

Holly | 46 comments Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm so close to finishing the class......it makes me want to study all the more, you know?


message 303: by Haley (new)

Haley Well it's not like I was contributing much as a mod, but glad to hear it! And I'm so glad you're looking forward to it, Christa—I actually think it came together really well


message 304: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Yes!!! Which book is it?


message 305: by Haley (new)

Haley Rising Calm :D The one I had to take down from the site, unfortunately. I got the cover this weekend too!


message 306: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Ooh cool!!!!! XD


message 307: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments For fear of spoilers I can only say I think you will enjoy it Tabi as it has.....never mind, spoilers. But it is super cool.

I know what you are saying Holly. When I was close to finishing algebra I did like four lessons a day for two weeks. I so wanted to be done.


message 308: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) I read a bit of it when she had it on GR XD


message 309: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Did you stick with that title Haley? Not that I dislike it or anything, just wanted to know what book to look up :D


message 310: by Haley (new)

Haley Yep! Stuck with the title because there's an explanation for it toward the end of the book, and because the titles for the sequels match :)


message 311: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Awesome! I am so horrid at coming up with titles. There is a guy in another one of my groups that has the best titles for all his works. It is so cool when a title fits the work so well. I find it a very important thing. Even though I am not suppose to, I judge a lot of books by their cover/title.


message 312: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Ugh I SUCK at titles....the only one I really came up with that fits is for my book "Freaks Only."


message 313: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I haven't read or heard anything other than the title Tabi, but right away I think of misfits. Probably one of two things. 1. Kids with powers or 2. Kids who turn into werewolves or Nymphs or other mystical creatures.


message 314: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Well it is about kids with powers so I guess the title is good then! :)


message 315: by Haley (new)

Haley Yeah, titiles aren't really my thing, either. I like Rising Calm, obviously, but I'm not overly excited about the titles for any of my other stories. And I have a horrible time trying to come up with titles for poetry.


message 316: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I'm in another group where we write poetry every week with a theme the mod picks. I am so awful with titles I usually just put the theme as the title.


message 317: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) I just pick something that kinda goes with it or a line from the poem and stick to that lol


message 318: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments For anyone who liked the Avengers, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the rest, I think you will enjoy this short about how awesome Agent Phil Colson was. May his memory never die.

Here's a link to my stories.

message 320: by Haley (new)

Haley Hey, I know I've been gone for a bit so maybe something changed, but are we going to create a poll for the Feb book of the month soon? Either there isn't one yet, or I simply can't find it, or maybe it's already been decided?


message 321: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) I don't know, Christa usually puts those up...


message 322: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Sorry, thanks for the reminder. I'll do that soon.


message 323: by Haley (new)

Haley Hey everyone!!
My first book, Rising Calm is coming out in two weeks, and there is officially a Goodreads page for it:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

I'd love for you all to check it out and mark it to-read (for now :)), and with Christa's permission I'd like to repost this in the announcement folder. I'm always looking for reviews, and I'll let you all know when it's finally out and available to read!
Thanks!


message 324: by Nikhilesh (new)

Nikhilesh hey... are we reading of mice and men? where do you guys discuss it?


message 325: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I'm so sorry. I have had the flu all last week and have been unable to get on the comp and thus attend to my moderator duties. You will receive a email in just a bit about what book we are reading and where. Thanks for your patience.


message 326: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Ugh...my family has been working through the flu as well. Had to take my little sister to the ER Friday night because she had gotten so dehydrated. Thank God she's doing better now.


message 327: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I'm so glad to hear it. My dad got it first then is just passed through the ranks ending with me. I'm the last, but we are very happy no one had to go to the hospital.


message 328: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Well so far I haven't gotten it (praying that I don't lol because stomach bugs are my bane in life) and it's moved through quickly except for my sister.


message 329: by Lora (new)

Lora (lorabanora) I hope all you folks are doing better! We haven't had a stomach bug, but the coughing one that made us skip much of Christmas and all of New Years. Well, streamlining holidays can be a stress reducer, anyway. We ended up feeling all close and sympathetic, so maybe it was ok.


message 330: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments My family is all better. I am glad we weren't sick during the holidays though. I am looking forward to starting piano again, it's been four weeks! But I couldn't risk letting my teacher catch it.


message 331: by Holly (new)

Holly | 46 comments I really want to get out of the house....go shopping or something........*sigh*


message 332: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I got a huge cookie today on my way to work, made me feel fat, but I like to think I worked it off :D

I'm sorry you are feeling a little stir crazy Holly, are you snowed in?


message 333: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Man, today while making dinner I burned my finger real bad. And here I am with the urge to write and I can't do nothing about it cause I can only type with one hand! This sucks.


message 334: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) That sounds like my sister about a month ago! She burned her hand in an ATV rollover and couldn't type for about a week. She was so mad lol!


message 335: by Haley (new)

And good luck Haley! I'mma check it out now :D And I am requesting it at my library.

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I normally keep political views off the inter-web, but this is an attack on our rights as citizens as well as the 2nd amendment. For all you constitutionalists out there please watch, like and share to others.

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Hey Haley, Enders Game is coming out.

I am very scared.

I KNOW. I saw that it was coming out forever ago, and then nothing happened so I hoped it was just one of those projects that gets picked up but never produced. That is not the case :P I am SO nervous. This movie will seriously have to be PERFECT for me to think it's at all acceptable.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!


message 346: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Thanks :d Yes I am having a great day Brian, a quite birthday with family and swimming.

I share your terror Haley, so scared about the movie.


message 347: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Hey all I'm going to be on vacation for a bit, so see all you people in August! :) Or in random times if I find the time to hop online.


message 348: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Have fun Tabi!


message 349: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I'm sorry folks, I was on vacation, but I am back now, clearly, and will be active once again.


message 350: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Same here! :) Just got back a day ago.
