Maybe your gettin Old TOposh.

Hiya ............

haha barb nothing a little plastic surgery cant fix i guess, lol... *gets a surgen on the phone* *Tell me im pretty!* lol

I remember you saying that before. They're trying to make one super library where my mother lives which will mean the library won't be convenient to her anymore either. I hope they don't do that to me.

dodge, I like to read and I think it's interesting to get others point of view -can't really do that online. Vocal expression adds so much. I read a book called Oral History, which I did not like at all. Had to make myself finish it. Then I heard other thoughts on it and had to re-think the whole thing. Turns out it is a good and interesting book. I was missing it though.

I feel pretty. Oh so pretty.

lol! looking good and feeling gorgouse! fiecre fierce fierce, Your on fire! rawr. lol im a bad speller tonihgt

ok........Toposh wants to be pretty......(You must hunt for the Beauty within).

Bestof4, wants some vocal thoughts. I could give you some, but they wouldm't be colorful enough..

Everynite

or maybe too colorful.

lol! why cant i be both? lol

pretty and a good speller. Too much to ask I'd say.

im not a bad speller evernight

Might suffer brain damage......
gimme gimme gimme............
Seen Jack la lance on tv today .. he said dont eat anything man made.
An live to 100.

was he talking about brownies that my husband makes. Gotta eat those. They're gooooood.

Jack wouldnt.. He didnt say womenmade.

guess I'll only make it to 99 years old then cuz I'm eating the brownies.

Hang in there, I have seeds that look like gobs you might want to eat.
I must go to photobucket.

Here are some gobs for you to feast after the brownies.

thanks but I'll stick with the brownies.

I finally broke down and went to Barnes and Noble as well as reserving a bunch of books from the library. The book I just started is called House of Leaves. It's supposed to be really creepy and disturbing, we'll see. I also got a couple of memoirs and I found someone near my house that is selling books for $1 each so I get to go pick up 6 Stephen King books I haven't read yet for only $6!!!

Cheryl, have you ever read JR Wards Brotherhood series?

I'm on the last book of 5 and it's SOOOOOO good! The first book hooked me and I stayed up until 4am reading that night.

I might buy them for my sister for her birthday because I know she'll love them also.

We do much reading aloud here.

Over Christmas break I read aloud the entire four books by Tolkein The Hobbit plus the triology. Maxi kept me supplied with cold water so I wouldn't lose my voice and we got through them (plus appendizes) in a week.

They are marvelous stories. Now he wants me to read them again, but I don't think so!

I think I am going to start reading him the popular Redbank series although I do not like books with the main characters being talking animals who possess human qualities. But these books are a hit among kids his age and teens, so we'll give them a try.

For myself, I enjoy reading Janet Evanovitch's series about Stephanie Plum, the bounty hunter. Having grown up in the Trenton area, I am familiar with all the places she describes. I also get a kick out of how she characterizes Trentonians so accurately and with such humor.

Merme

:ding:

Your a good mama......Kids love to read thru the eyes of mama.

I never heard of those but must be good it you did.

wow. that sounds like some heavy duty reading you did. I like to read to my kids as well. just today we hit a used book store and we all got some books. I got a couple of stephen king, son got a book called hatchet which is a newberry award winner and stowawy by karen hesse. I recognized hesse as being a good writter but I don't know about that particular book. daughter got 3 books in a series about horses...they are early chapter books 'sheltie' is in the title of those. last summer I read to them 'summer of the monkey's and 'holes'. Not in a week or two though, merme. I get exhausted reading aloud. I guess it took us 2-3 weeks on each book.

didn't know there was a book thread here. I just got two stephen kings today I haven't read. 'the girl who loved tom gordon' and 'the dark half'. I've always said 'i'm not much of a reader'. but I haven't read a stephen king yet I don't like. I also read some koontz. koontz books are a bit of a crap shoot for me. some of his works I'd say were better than king but some I read 3 chapters and never pick up again. anyone have any suggustions on other authors? good grief! I feel I should broaden my horizons a bit.

sorry, I used the cr.. word again.
I'll be more careful!

Ya gotta type 'cr@p'

Someone better close up and open #2.............
