madcow Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I managed to read for an hour and a half this morning whilst sitting at the hospital with hubby for his appointment. I now feel the need to continue this spurt as I don't know how long before the mojo vanishes again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautifuldisaster7 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'm reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets now I read the whole series and once you start one book you can't stop Since you are only on the second one just wait till you hit the next book. I will say number 3, 5, and of course 7 were the best and I was really sad to stop reading the series when it was over:irked: Also as a tip you might want to read The Tales of Beetle the Bard in between the 6th and 7th book so you get a background on some of the stories in the 7th book:D Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was the talk he gave?Queued hardly at all really I was one of the first to arrive so I went to get my orange juice (I was was famished so wine wasn't a good idea) and sat down. After the talk, they called us up into smaller queues to make it less taxing. Review and photographic evidence of the encounter here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaraPepparkaka Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Kylie, I have a suggestion- next time you go to a bookfair I can come with you. I wouldn't feel so guilty about buying a lot of books if I had someone with me who buys as many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catwoman Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I finished 1st to Die by James Patterson last night. I have wrote a review on my book log. Now moving on to Dexter in the Dark by Jeff Lindsay. I want to read it real quick as my resservations for the next Sookie Stackhouse Novel and Eclipse by Stephanie Mayer have arrived at my Library but I have too many books on loan to take out. I have had my mojo but it does not seem to be working as well. I think the next Sookie Novel might fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
