[Hello from the states]

It is cute, isn't it?! Thank you for the welcome!

[What's up in March?]

Aww thanks! I wish I could be so optimistic! I swear they are everywhere. Its like they all have twins. Instead of 4 kids we have 8 and they are VERY vocal!!! Everything seems to revolve around the mouth and the butt, in one end and out the other and you had best be quick with the wipes, the diapers and the butt cream, thank you very much!   But Lord knows they bring us hours of laughs. The hubby and I have tired to hide but ... they keep finding us. So, we just sit in stunned and numbed silence and practice keeping the reflects sharpened. The 2 year old and the one year old shoot for distance and you don't want to be in the way of a flying match box cars and blocks!

 

I'll just hose the house down over the weekend.

[Nostalgic books?]

My favorite nostalgic book as a child would be The Hobbit. As an adult I actually have several nostalgic books that I constantly pick up and re-read. Funny how I can be minding my own business reading one book and then that book triggers my old favorites, so I have to pick it up and read it again! Its a right wonder I can get through any books! But my favorite go to books are Anna Karenina, Emma, Wives and Daugthers and of course the Harry Potter books! Whats the best way to get that special feeling then by going back to Hogwarts?!

 

I often wonder how I would have turned out had these books been around when I was a child...probably crazier than a one-eyed frog.

[Hello from the states]

Thank you Julie and Althena!

 

Hi there Chrissy! I tried to message you but I couldnt. Its something about the settings I guess. Can you try to message me? I can't wait to catch up with you!

I could only find a few on netflix streaming and a few through their dvd's but was able to get the others from the local libraries.

[How many books do you read at once?]

I do about 3 or 4 at a time since I'm reading my nook from my Samsung Galaxy Note. I love the convience of flipping from book to book without having to constantly pick up and put down the hard copies. Makes shifting from book to book so much easier!

[Your Book Activity - March 2014]

Anna Karenina, Church Folk, and Gone with the Wind.

[What's up in March?]

Spending the majority of the week with my grandchildren (three boys, ages 5, 4, and 2 and the baby girl, 1). Mommy and daddy hav appointments all this week. Unfortunately they drove off with carseats and shoes for the 4 year old. The two screaming demons-in-training are trying to out screech each other. Ugh.

 

The house is deteriorating at an alarming rate as I no longer have th energy to keep it and THEM clean. A cup of coffee would be wonderful but I no longer drink it so...a cuppa it is!

[Your Age?]

46 in August.

[What are you watching now? - 2014]

My cold/rainy day staple, LOTR extended editions!

[Hello from the states]

Thank you dtrpath27!

[Elizabeth George]

I'm addicted to Elizabeth George. I can't put the books down once I've started and I've watched just about every Inspector Lynley Mystery movie on netflix and dvd. I don't know what it is but I love settling down and getting lost all over England!

 

Anyone else a fan?

[Hello from the states]

Thanks Marie H!

[Hello from the states]

I use to be a member a while ago. Felt the need to leave but found I missed talking about books and a few buddies. Looking forward to being more active with the group and touching bars with a few people. Hi Chrissy!!!

[What is your favourite series of Crime, Mystery. Thriller]

I love the M. C. Beaton series (Hamish McBeth). Seems I'm hooked. I'm now on her Agatha Raisin series. Something about Scottish villages with quirky locals that does it for me!

[The Casual Vacancy - J.K. Rowling (Review thread)]

I'd hoped to have this book read over the Christmas holidays but it didn't happen. Guess I'll have to go hide this weekend and dig in. It sounds GREAT!
