I do find it very amusing how many different types of people have read this book. I resisted the hype for a long time and didn't read it, we had the set at the thrift store I was working at and one day 2 of are regulars came in and spotted it. Now these were the 2 sweetest older ladies you ever...

I try to find an old thread beforestarting a new one, if I can. I also like reading some of the really old ones :) Sometimes I will come across something I posted years ago and cringe a bit though, funny how much you change in 8 years.

Your avatar is great, perfect for a book forum :)

I actually prefer when there is no switching, because you are able to recognize a member right away. I just haven't found one I can stick with yet, I have identity issues :(

The Meaning of Everything, was very good and I had stumbled over my copy at a library sale :) Before reading it I guess I had never thought of what went into the making of a dictionary, very interesting stuff and as SFG said Winchester manages to keep it from being dry. Also, you may like Henry...

Resurrecting an old thread here, but I am curious now that audiobooks are more common, are they cheating? I often have long dog transports and I prefer audiobooks to music because I think the dogs find it more relaxing. I will listen to a book I have already read or a book I have heard a lot...

I am really liking Graham Joyce, I just finished, Dark Sister, and it is my favorite so far. The Tooth Fairy, was quite good as well, both were a bit dark fantasy mixed well with contemporary drama. I did not care for, Facts of Life, or, Silentland, quite as much, they were not bad but I found...

Hello & welcome :) I think everyone is a bit insecure about grammar and spelling, often writing is a personal thing and it is hard to open yourself up but stick with it your skills and confidence will grow :) Also, you might check with your public library, many have teen writers workshops...

I have decided to try and at least stick with a theme for my avatar, goldfish, I will most likely still switch fish. I picked something I love, but have no luck with in real life :) We will see how it goes.

I had never read/ listened to any of Sedaris's books until the last month or so, when my library had 3 audio books of his, Dress Your Family in Corduroy, When You're Engulfed in Flames and Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls. I enjoyed them immensely and can't believe it took me so long to get...

Blue is my favorite color as well and my most recent hair color :) it was a lot of fun! If you don't want to go through the full bleaching and dying, they have hair chalks that are easy to use and you can just add some touches of color. And back to avatars, this current one is here because I...

I am the opposite my hair has been changed on about a monthly basis for 25 years, I am no longer sure what my natural color, texture or amount of curl is.

I believe this thread was started about 6 years ago, so that I think more of us have at least tried ebooks by now :) I still prefer traditional books, mainly due to my habit of getting books wet.

Maybe I just haven't found my right one yet :oops: Sometimes I get one I really like but a week later another comes along.

I have noticed some of you are very faithful to your avatar, how do you pick just one? I want to change mine everyday :) I do the same for my FB cover and hair color.

Why must there be other people at work :(

They do seem quite different from Outlander don't they. It doesn't look like he's done any historical dramas really.

The doll should be nonbreakable (the odder the better) and map was just a generic world map. You didn't have to put directions to your house or anything :) Anything besides doll, map, pics in the box is a gift to recipient. And only 1 or 2 people got to see your address, the person that sends...

Well it started with a doll, he gets mailed with a map & a pic, if I have doll I mark my location on map and add 1 pic of doll with me, in my fave spot or at a local site (you chose) or you can opt out of pic all together. But the doll, map & pics go from place to place and we would keep track...

I don't think she has been cast yet or they have not announced it yet.
