  1. Vuvuzela What? It's fun to say!
  2. Thanks, hun. :friends0: Your words have meant a lot to me, thank you for being there, I really appreciate it.

     

    How are you doing today?

     

    xoxo

  3. How are you feeling today, any better? :friends0:

  4. I don't know how weird it is, but I love sleeping with my head at the foot of the bed and my feet to the wall. Its just more comfortable for some reason.
  5. As much as I did like The Lovely Bones, there were other books that should have had a place on that list before it. A Thousand Splendid Suns is on my TBR pile right now, may need to bump that one up a bit. I would have liked to see Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi on that list as it was a very powerful, well written book.
  6. Read a little bit more of Burned and am planning to spend a couple hours this evening buried in it.
  7. I agree, the concept of the MC being the source of attraction for so many people is a bit over the top and annoying. If the Casts would have just stuck with the Zoey/Heath/Erik triangle I think it would have been much better because a triangle is much mroe believable than what they are trying to do. I've never been a big fan of the whole Red Fledgeling storyline or Stevie Rae. When that part of the series started being incorporated into the storyline I almost stopped reading it, TBH. In the end curiosity won and I'm glad it did. Is there? I'll have to go search for that Thanks, Kylie! Any little tips or advice is very welcome and appreciated. Right now it seems like I've developed literary narcolepsy. Read a few pages and wake up a couple hours later with my nose in the crease.
  8. Oh dear, Robert Pattinson is going to be in it? *sighs* I just can't look at that guy as anyone other than Edward. Hopefully it will be a great adaptation and help him break away from the Twilight mold.
  9. I just found this little article on how to change the equalizer settings to filter out the noise of the vuvuzelas. Personally, I know nothing about technology so sorry it doesn't work, but for those of you looking for a way to cut out the sound here is the article: http://www.fastcompany.com/1660044/world-cup-hack-a-simple-fix-to-eliminate-that-annoying-vuvuzela-drone
  10. For some reason its still not letting me send you a PM so I just wanted to send you a :friends0: and tell you what a beautiful, lovely, talented jewel you are!

  11. Sex on Fire- Kings of Leon
  12. You've Got Mail
  13. You might like The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger. The synopsis on Barnes and Noble.com was pretty short and to the point: A real-life thriller that leaves us with the taste of salt on our tongues and a terror of the deep.
  14. Thanks guys Hopefully this little incentive will help motivate the mojo a bit. You know, two months ago I couldn't even sleep with the help of a pill, now it seems like my body has done a complete 180 and everything makes me sleepy! Burned is really good so far. Its not my favorite in the series, but a good continuation from where the last book left off.
  15. Glad to have you back Paige!
  16. Sydney Opera House Bottled water or tap
  17. Say what you will, I'll send Justin Bieber after you. Human- The Killers
  18. Oh come on. You and I both know I have awesome taste in music and a very large library. Closer- Kings of Leon
  19. Water for Elephants is on my TBR list right now I'm glad to hear you give it such high praise. I think they are in the process of casting for a film adaptation right now.
  20. It really is. I just discovered MCR yesterday and am addicted! Famous Last Words- My Chemical Romance
  21. Cancer- My Chemical Romance
  22. Got a few more pages of Burned in before falling asleep while reading.
  23. Lately it seems as if I have buying nearly 5 times as many books as I have been finishing. Because of this I have decided to give myself a bit of a challenge to try and focus more on the books in my TBR pile rather than the ones for sale in the bookshop. Here on out I am not allowed to buy a single book until I have read 5 from my TBR pile. At the end of every five (three of which I must write reviews on so that I can practice that skill) I will give myself an allowance of one carefully selected book purchace. To help with this little challenge I am going to start avoiding going to Barnes and Noble for coffee and computery stuff. As much as I love it there it is much too hard to simply walk in the front doors and make it to the back of the store without being distracted by the pretty books. I've broken them up already into groups of 5 so that I can just set a pile next to my bed and work my way through it. The List Burned by P.C. and Kristin Cast Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang by Chelsea Handler (reading now) The Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath Dear John by Nicholas Sparks The Book Thief by Markus Zusak If I Sould Die Before I Wake by Han Nolan Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan O, Juliet by Robin Maxwell The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson Secrets of Mary Magdalene by Dan Burstein Push by Sapphire Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen Columbine by Dave Cullen A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini Stories I Wouldn't Tell Nobody but God by Rasheed Clark The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorn The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova John Lennon: The Life by Philip Norman The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (started but never finished) As of right now my TBR pile is exactly 25 books. Hopefully this little 'challenge' will help me to get through them and help whip my rebellious little mojo back into submission. Off to go read some of Burned for a bit. It would be very nice to finish this one today!
  24. Exactly! Don't you know that The Beatles are good for your health? Its true! Studies have proven that its impossible to not want to wiggle and waggle while listening to them, therefore working your hips and core. Depending on the level of jammage you could even substitute your regular workout for an hour of Beatles listening! I know, pretty awesome!
  25. :clapping:You're doing great so far, frankie! Just think of all the awesome Beatles merchandise you can buy with the money you're saving by not smoking! *runs and hides*
