So I generally have a big thing about starting and not finishing books, but I also have a thing about, if I am not enjoying a book I shouldn't waste time trying to read it. Reading is supposed to be enjoyable right? So, I was reading, or trying to read Finders Keepers - Stephen King. I have managed to get some of the way through it...I figured I would give it shot, I don't like it. I can't get into it...so I am putting it down and moving onto something else. Maybe I will try it again another time. Not sure whether it's the book or me just not having the right frame of mind for it. Anyone else had this problem? Either way, I have put it down and picked up Elianne by Judy Nunn instead. Shelfy

Hi Paul, welcome to the forum for starters. Old books are incredible. I recently got given about a dozen of my late pops old books, some of them have inscriptions to him or from him inside. It's amazing the history. Anyway, welcome to the forum. Shelfy

I finished Salem's Lot - Stephen King, this morning, (I have been awake since 6:30am..stupid body clock) I have started reading Finders Keepers - Stephen King. Shelfy

Air conditioning. Kind of a fan on a colder and grander scale. The air conditioning at my current workplace is kind of not great. Hence the yayness (I know, not a word) of it in my new job. Thank you!!! Shelfy

Getting very excited!, I haven't said anything to my boss about my new job just yet, waiting until I have something in writing. Which won't be until about two weeks after my docs appointment tomorrow. So I am thinking start date would be around christmas? Getting very excited and nervous as hell (although I won't admit that if anyone asks) I do know however that my hours will be 8-4:30, which means a sleep in! Not a big one granted but a sleep in all the same!! Combine that with, more pay that I am getting now and air con (a massive decider for me hehe) and I cannot wait for it to start!!! Sorry, I still haven't been able to tell anyone besides family (while telling them to keep it quiet on facebook) and my partner and housemate. Current job is becoming very frustrating, getting a lot harder to keep from saying something silly. Now I am just venting.. Shelfy

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it Shelfy

Welcome to the forum. Shelfy

So after starting The Colorado Kid last night, I managed to finish it today, and am about to start Salem's Lot, so I can pretty much kiss any sleep this month good bye...I've only watched the movie and that terrified me, so I am assuming that the book will be along the same lines. shelfy

I have noticed that with the wheel of time series. Lots of different characters to try and remember. Game of thrones as well. Shelfy

Hawaii 50, season one. Really enjoying it so far. Shelfy

This sounds like fun, except that Christmas in the land of Aus is summer not winter....Still took down some ideas of books to add to my To Read List. Shelfy

Feeling very accomplished today. My partner and I put a massive dent in our christmas shopping list. Have a couple more to sort out, also finished a book in just over 24hrs. Been a while since I've been able to do that. Glad to hear boris is doing better Athena, hopefully he continues to improve. Shelfy

Just finished a combined copy of The awakening and The struggle - L.J.Smith. Forgot how much I loved this series. Now going to start Colorado Kid - Stephen King. Shelfy

Most of the way through The Struggle - L.J.Smith. Which is the second book in the Vampire Diaries series, I think. I forgot how much I enjoyed this series, and how much better the books are compared to the tv series. Shelfy

Settled on "The Awakening" L.J.Smith. It's been a while. Shelfy

Just finished reading "Song Of Susannah", I have to say I'm not a fan of how it ends. The ending is very abrupt and unsatisfying. Other than that I did enjoy it. I now have three to choose from: "Colorado Kid" "Salem's Lot" Or "The Awakening" and "The Struggle" Vampire Diaries books one and two by L.J.Smith. Not sure which one to read next. Shelfy

They are quite a big thing here in Aus, the trick is finding somewhere that sells a decent one with perfect pastry. There is one place on the coast of NSW that sells insanely good ones. The pastry is perfect and the mince inside tastes amazing! Shelfy

Hehehe. Oh nice yeah that could cause some chaos... Shelfy

Glad it's not his intestines. Fingers crossed that he gets better soon, and whatever it is doesn't get passed onto your other dog. There is few things worse than a sick dog Shelfy

My partner and I recently went and saw "The Last Witchslayer". I personally loved it, I thought that Vin Diesel was great in it. My partner disagreed with me though, he thought Vin Diesel was very wooden. A very different story line though, was a nice change. Shelfy

Hmm I might have to add it to my To Read list. It's growing very fast hehe. Thanks Shelfy

Thanks! It is a little bit yeah. Aww, that sucks! I hope Boris is ok and everything works out. Hopefully everything works out ok for you. Shelfy

Christmas shopping almost done here, also very excited! I can't say this on Facebook, because I have my current managers on there as friends....and if I don't tell someone I am going to burst! I have a new job!! Does anyone else have their managers on facebook? I mean it's not weird...some of them are kind of friends as well.. Ok now I am babbling. A very excited Shelfy

The movie versions of books are always better.....*hides behind pillow* Shelfy

I was a little annoyed by the cancellation of Witches Of East End...Ah well guess I will have to start reading the books instead. I am intrigued by Lucifer, anyone know if that is any good? Shelfy
