    Getting to know...

    They require some very specific care. I've killed a few. I think my thumbs are black though. I can grow african violets and aloe plants without issue though.

    Getting to know...

    OK, I'm a newbie, so forgive me if I'm way out of line here. I'd like to get to know y'all a bit better. I thought maybe if I posted a few questions some of you would jump in and start answering. I'll start. What do you do for a living? What kind of reader are you? Passionate about? Pet...

    I am a Kindle Killer

    Yep. Amazon stores everything in an archive so you never lose your stuff unless you deliberately delete it. That is tough to do. The only thing that didn't transfer is my Samples. That is nothing though, I can easily find the samples again.

    Inactivity

    The advent of Twitter and Facebook have taken a toll on all message boards. There are still those of us who enjoy this experience as well though. I've not been here long, but I'm enjoying it here so far. No troll action (that I've seen), and little spam...way to go Mods! I'm still feeling a...

    This one...I know its the Cheshire cat, but it looks like Toothless the Dragon to me.

    I am a Kindle Killer

    Well lets hope we don't see that kind of negativity. Let me tell you, I love the feel, the smell of a book in my hands, but lets face it...when you travel, a Kindle is WAY easier. I'm hoping 3rd time is a charm. I got a skin for my Kindle so I'll be choked if I have to peel it off!

    I am a Kindle Killer

    So, I am now on my THIRD Kindle since February. I received my Kindle for my birthday and was just absolutely tickled! I went a bit nuts downloading all the freebies, buying a ton of stuff I'd been unable to get quickly at the library and generally having a blast. One day I was reading and my...

    What is a good young adult literature book to do a literary argument/paper on?

    The Curious Incident is a great book, I didn't realize it was young adult. I'd second that recommendation if you're allowed to read it. Is there a specific age target you need to read? There are a TON of really good young adult books out there. Here is a list of YRCA winners from our library...

    Secretariat. Quite enjoyable. They managed to create some excitement even though you knew he was going to win.

    Harlan Coban

    I haven't read it yet. I really enjoy his books. I prefer the Non Myron Bolitar stuff. I think what I like best is that his plots feel more "real" than some other suspense writers. His characters are Joe Average.

    March 2011: Seth Grahame-Smith: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

    My daughter just came upstairs with Pride and Prejudice in her hands. My jaw dropped. I didn't say anything, and she just told me that she figured she should read the original before she started Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I'd not even heard of this book before joining this forum. I'll...
