    What Did You Read in February?

    I'm currently going through a lucky phase, where I'm finding books I want to read as fast as I can read them. I go for long periods where I can't find anything I like to read, then sometimes I get lucky. I think my lucky phase is slowing down, could be that in April I'll have read only a couple...

    Jealous readers

    That's appalling, not to mention extremely rude. No matter if you love them to death, I'd grab the book (or newspaper) back and say "then you can wait till I'm done with it". If they can't wait, suggest they go get the same book, even if they have to buy it. I wouldn't leave books or...

    A Quick Quiz

    I'm confounded. The only "double" extensions I can think of is "double-team" and "double entendre". I need more coffee, or maybe someone else will get this one! :D

    What Did You Read in February?

    If the mods have a problem with this thread, they'll do something about it. Moto, this smells like still more pot-stirring and it's getting really old. What are you doing, pushing the envelope so you get banned and then can go complain about TBF on another forum, or what??

    What Did You Read in February?

    Moto, why should this thread bother you? did you even read any books in February? Or lately? I don't see you participating in any book discussions. Here are my February reads: Are You Afraid of the Dark?-Sidney Sheldon The Dark Lady-Sally Spencer The Golden Mile to Murder-Sally...

    Children doing work experience

    Good for you! :) Her choice of work experience will give her an idea of how much work small children are, I know that helping to take care of my sister's first baby during my school summer vacations made me realize that there's nothing romantic about taking care of a baby, so I didn't have any...

    Children doing work experience

    There's a difference of course, between volunteering and being required to do something. Are the kids allowed to choose where they'll work? If nothing else, it gives them a taste of the real world-not everyone bounces out of bed in the morning breathless with anticipation at going to work. The...

    Children doing work experience

    I didn't have to do work for school credit, but I did volunteer as a candy striper at a hospital, I worked in the X-ray department filing X-rays. It was interesting and I got to see (in a limited way) what goes on in a hospital without being a patient. I don't think "work experience" or...

    I think a Quiz / Games Sub-Forum...

    very funny, Shade. I'd think a games sub-forum would need little moderating. Unless some people start a fight over a trivia question. :rolleyes:

    Elinor Lipman

    I couldn't find any threads discussing this author, so I'm asking if anyone reads her? I'm almost done with The Dearly Departed and it's so entertaining. I'll be starting Isabel's Bed next. I've read all her other works, I think.
