Hi Frankie. I wasn't online much on the weekend, but I had a great time. I had breakfast with my Mum and then my ex took me to some of my favourite secondhand book shops where he bought me some books I restrained myself a lot though (I'm actually getting better...I used to buy books I wanted even if they were a horrible edition or very tatty; now I'm a little more careful).

I took a photo of the inside of one of the stores to show you because it's chaotic and I think you'd like it. I meant to take more photos but forgot

And I got the second Stieg Larsson book from my brother.

Thanks Stephanie, I had a great day!

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Fi. I had a lovely day.

Hi Mia, I'm glad to see you are back. I hope you are doing well.

Happy Birthday Lucy! I hope you have a lovely day.

Thanks Stephanie; I've had a lot of BCF people add me as a friend recently so I knew who you were I'm well thanks, how have you been?

No worries Rachel Thanks for adding me. I didn't realise so many of us were on FaceBook. I think I have just about doubled my number of friends in the last day or so!

Thanks June, that's very nice of you

Hi June, I just sent you a friendship request on FaceBook, but didn't add a message explaining who it was. Just thought I'd let you know.

Happy Birthday Melisa!

I've heard that dark chocolate is better for you too and that you don't need to eat as much of it to be sated. I recently went and bought a block of dark chocolate with this in mind, but it was so nice that I ate way more than I should have.

If I ever need to move, I'll ask the moving company if I can check out their men first.

Sounds like you have a great weekend planned! I'm glad the move went well...did you get any pics of the eye-candy?

I love dark chocolate but I usually go for milk chocolate

Yay indeed! I've started my weekend and have just finished an awesome book (I cried ). A great start to the weekend, I think.

I'm afraid I don't like coffee at all. Please don't hate me for saying this , but I've been known to be outraged that good chocolate gets wasted when it's used on things like coffee beans and liquor (which I also dislike). I tend to like my chocolate pure. I hope we can still be friends.

Are you all packed up now? How many boxes of books do you have to move?

I only have an hour left . I don't really have any plans to do anything other than read. I'm really pleased that my current read is going quickly and I should finish it tonight so hopefully I'll start GwtW tomorrow. I'm really excited but also a bit scared because it's just so big. And I plan on starting Macbeth for the reading circle too.

I'm still on for Hawaii! It's not quite as hot here as it has been. I think we have a few days of rain coming up so that will keep the temp down a bit hopefully. I hope it rains all weekend. That would give me a perfect excuse to stay inside and read all day long!

Hi Abby! I'm not too bad. I'm a bit busy at work today because almost all of my colleagues are away. I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. Is it getting any warmer for you yet?

Hi Michelle, how are you going? I just thought I'd drop by and thank you for giving us this wonderful forum to discuss our books and lives. The forum and its members mean a lot to me, and I don't thank you nearly often enough for having given me such a positive thing in my life.

Hi Abby, I just wanted to say that I love your new avatar. It's so great to put a face to the name and I think you're as gorgeous on the outside as I already knew you were on the inside.

It's easy to get sidetracked by another book when the first one isn't gripping your attention, isn't it? I hope you get to finish it soon.

Hi Inver,

Thanks for dropping by. How have you been? I'm doing well. My reading year is off to a great start.

Hmm, I thought I was looking at a book before this most recent release, but I could have been wrong in the size of it. At any rate, I think I'll get The Child Thief, as the Peter Pan aspect of it really intrigues me!

Happy Birthday Ceinwenn! I hope you have a lovely day.

Happy Birthday Weave! I hope you have a really lovely day

I love the colours on this page; it looks awesome!

Aw, is that because of your plans for Swaziland falling through? It sounds like you have a lovely day planned and book shopping will definitely cheer you up. I expect to see a post in the Book Activity thread listing lots of lovely books that you've treated yourself to!

I'm a couple of hours into my day here. Just about to head out for morning tea to run some errands. I sold a stack of DVDs on ebay last night to make room for more books on my shelves. And now I have some money to buy more books! Heehee.

Good night!

Happy 28th Birthday Frankie! You've got a couple of months on me...I'll be 28 in Feb. I hope you have a fantastic day! Have you got any plans?

Happy Birthday Andrea! I hope you have a terrific day today.
