julie Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Devi Have you been able to talk to the Doc yet about your test and what he says about it ? I'm glad you went and bought you a treat afterwards . You deserved it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devi Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Devi Have you been able to talk to the Doc yet about your test and what he says about it ? I'm glad you went and bought you a treat afterwards . You deserved it . No not yet, I have to have a second heart monitor test on thursday before I can go see her to talk in detail. Awww . I'm glad the book shopping helped a bit, look forward to see your list later. I do feel rather guilty though, I am buying way more than I am reading... but I enjoy the 'hunt' just as much as the reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 We'll be waiting to hear after your next test then, of what the doc tells you about both tests . I hope it's better news than you were expecting . I think the waiting on things like this makes you think the worst . It seems somehow easier to handle when you hear the news ,even if it's bad , than the not -knowing .

julie Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Devi It looks like you have chosen some really good books. You can't go wrong with Hosseini . I know the other fiction books you bought have all been really popular over here so they must be good too . I'll be interested in the true crime book , especially . It's one I haven't read before . It sounds like it'll have lots of stories in it, so maybe I'll at least be familiar with some of them . Happy reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 M.L. Stedman - The Light Between Oceans is on my TBR. I don't actually know a lot about this book, I saw it for cheap and it sounded interesting . I hope it's good though! It has some good reviews on GoodReads. x I do feel rather guilty though, I am buying way more than I am reading... but I enjoy the 'hunt' just as much as the reading.x I understand, that makes sense. I am the same, I buy much more than I read too. I do plan on tackling this in the future once I'm less stressed etc. If you're not poor though and you're not running out of space, if it makes you feel better and it's not too out of control, I don't think buying a bit more than what one reads is a bad thing. For example, I couldn't deal with having a very small TBR. But I do think I should try and buy less compared with what I read (my first solution will probably be to read more rather than to buy less XD). x Agree 100%. The not knowing is the worst. Least you can deal with it once you know.x I fully agree. I hope it will be okay . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devi Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 I am now officially over the halfway mark with Game of Thrones! I think I will be reading a few short books after this one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I felt the same way! After reading it I had to read some short books in between, still am reading some shorter books. I hope soon I'll have the courage to read a bigger book again and tackle the second book, A Clash of Kings. Congrats on being over the half way mark !

Devi Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 I went to the library and found two books, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and The Complete Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) I'm reading the latter atm! I'm enjoying it . Of Mice and Men I've heard good things about but I'm not sure if it's a book for me so I haven't bought it yet. But if I happen to see it cheap or if I read some more reviews about it, I might be tempted. I hope you enjoy both books ! EDIT: I went out shopping and found a cheap second hand copy of the book . See my thread (once I've posted in it). Edited July 12, 2013 by Athena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devi Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Well, I couldn't help myself and bought four more books, I know I know. I buy way more than I read. Non Fiction Blood Brotherhoods : The Rise of the Italian Mafias - John Dickie The Blue Door - Lise Kristensen The Boy in the Attic - David Malone Fiction Under the Dome - Stephen King Shelves are filling up fast. I had my first seizure in public today, felt really embarrassed over the whole thing. Edited July 13, 2013 by Devi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Devi Wishing you success when you try your new medicine . I hope it works well for you . I'll be watching to see how you like Under the Dome . It's been a tv show over here for the past few weeks or so . I meant to watch it, but missed the first one, so won't try watching now ,in the middle . I haven yet to read the book ,so it'd ruin it for me if I saw the tv show first . I'm not a HUGE Stephen King fan, but of the books of his I've read, I've liked them all .
