I have one main thing at the moment...
I'm in another forum, where I make banners as signatures for people. My shop is currently closed for requests while I finish the gazillion that I need to complete. But there are some members who don't seem to understand that all I do throughout the day, is not make banners, so I cannot work as fast as they seem to want me to, and I'm backed up with orders. That means, that they need to stop poking their heads into my shop and posting every five minutes "When can I place an order?" Honestly, is patience such a difficult concept to grasp?
Alright, done ranting. I do feel better.

My choices would be (in no order):
The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales, by Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm
Your Favorite Seuss: A Baker's Dozen from the One and Only Dr. Seuss, by Dr. Seuss
Peter Pan, by J. M. Barrie
Coraline, by Neil Gaiman

Finished The Bell Jar finally and liked it a lot even though I struggled for weeks with it. Next on the list is "The Book Thief". I saw so many talking about it here that I bought it last week
I've had that one in my sights for a while but I never decide whether or not I want to read it. Will be looking out for your thoughts on the book once you finish it

It's nice to be here again but I still don't know for sure if I'll be permanent *sighs*
And I know how that goes, what you're going through. It's horrible when we can't just read all and anything that we want throughout life and do nothing else. While still being able to support ourselves

Oh gosh I haven't read the Dark Tower series either....

I truly do! And I might just do that. Thank you for stopping by, anisia. I need to take a peek into your thread as soon as I'm able to so that I can see what you've been up to

I for one think that it would improve the work of a few of them, so it couldn't hurt them in the least.

Here, have some cookies ...... sounds like you need them
They've been gladly taken. Now I just need to decide on what book to pick up first from the pile that I've requested. That might make the decision on whether I've completely lost my mojo or not.

Thanks, Rawr!
The busy time is lessening now, so yea, I might just drop by permanently. I definitely miss reading and blogging (the blog had to go so I need a new one).

I voted for The Monster Book of Monsters. Sure, it's a tad violent and not at all safe to open without precautions, but it's always been my favorite whenever it's appeared either in one of the books, or movies...most likely because to its dangerous qualities

I have a few favorite poets, among them (in no order)...
William Blake
Sir Walter Raleigh
Dante Alighieri
John Keats
Matthew Gregory Lewis

I really enjoyed Angels and Demons (definitely going to go and watch the film when it's released in theaters) but I wasn't too crazy about The Da Vinci Code. Nonetheless, I'm most likely going to read The Lost Symbol out of curiosity and hope that the book will be in my good graces by the time I finish it.

I don't mind reading in the car. But the problem is that when I ride in a car someone always has to have some sort of music going, therefore the radio is either turned on, or there's a CD playing. And being one of those people that prefers as much silence as possible when she reads, I hardly ever read in the car.

Eco's "The Name of the Rose".
Ditto. I hardly even remember most of the details in the book because I recall forcing myself through it after I'd read through mid-book. It was not a 'bad' book, but it's not a huge deal either. Haven't seen the movie yet however.
Another two I would put right up there with Eco's is Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera and F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. They are two of the most boring books that I have ever come across. I was never able to finish Marquez's because every time I picked it up I ran the risk of falling asleep (and did, twice!). And the only reason I read through The Great Gatsby was because otherwise I would have failed my exam in English class in high school.

I've read fanfiction a time or two, a long time ago, but it doesn't really hold my interest (to those that do enjoy it however, kudos to you). I do prefer to stick to the fact that he original movie/book/TV show presents, but I can definitely see the appeal that fanfiction would hold.

Hi, I'm Andaira, and I'm deathly afraid that I have lost my mojo.
I've not had the time to read a single book in at least a month (I know, that in itself is a crime), and though I've requested a few books already to start reading again soon, I was having trouble keeping the concentration in place and being happy with the book that I was reading before I had to take a break.
I confess it...I'm frightened.
(Well, if that doesn't sound like a 'Dear Emily,...' letter
) -
Like some here, I think that prologues are an important part of books. For me at least, they hold some piece of information that I might read when I'm reading the rest of the book. Just like with epilogues, I never skip prologues, and I do prefer it when a book has both. Though a prologue and epilogue are preferable.

After what feels like forever of taking these quizzes...

Welcome! I hope you have a great time here.

White rice, meat strips in a light tomato sauce, and potato chips. Oh, yes, and almond chocolate ice cream
-
This might sound really strange to some people, but my favorite meal consists of white rice, two fried eggs, and french fries. It was a huge comfort food when I was little, which mom would make me, and I've never stopped loving it.

In no order whatsoever...
Nickelback
Papa Roach
NIN
Linkin Park
Bon Jovi

My current favorite song lyric is from the song Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
