I'm still on the waiting list at the library for Twilight. I did get the DVD the other day though.

Kat W. Oct 14, 2009, 12:55pm UTC

Have you watched it?? What did you think?

☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 14, 2009, 1:10pm UTC

Haven't watched it yet. Maybe today.

I think I'm about 1/2 way through #35 at the moment. I'd have to check, lol.

I'm on the 4th book I got from you. Two of them were aweful and I struggled to read them (now I know why I neve rbought those titles from my regular authors) and the last two have been awesome.

Kat W. Oct 14, 2009, 2:28pm UTC

I don't remember which books I gave you. Which ones were the good ones?

Marianne R. Oct 14, 2009, 5:44pm UTC

The Erica Spindler two are fantastic. Love em!

The Heather Graham was piss poor. I won't be getting the other 2 in that zodiac series that's for sure.

And while the Wendi Corsi Staub one was alright. I just wasn't into the whole pregnancy thing, which is probably why I never bought that one of hers.

I admire you. I do read this many books per year any more. Life got too busy. Maybe one day I'll settle down again and read more. You are doing good.

You stay so busy on gather and running around I think with Marianne taking photos, how do you find time to read????
LOL. You know this is Norma , but Donald reads a book every two days. He does tell me about them , the good ones he reads more than one time. Right now he is re-reading the one about the Dragon, where the boy finds the egg and thinks its a jewel. But it grows into a baby dragon, because he had a dragon egg all along, I think the name is Aragon, ,,,,,,,,They did make a movie about it.

Kat W. Oct 14, 2009, 3:40pm UTC

I read will I workout on our elliptical machine, lol.

Marianne R. Oct 14, 2009, 5:47pm UTC

Kat & I don't live near eachother anymore. So she's safe from me dragging her around town on photo shoots, lol

A series reader, heh Kat. I have no clue how many books I've read this year. I read a lot of articles for my graduate work in art history, and down time is romance novels or fellow writer's I've met here on Gather.

I see a couple of Kathryn Smith books on your list, I've only read "Night After Night". I enjoyed it, but wonder if I'll feel the same way about others. What did you think of those that you read? Honestly, I want to spend my buck$ smartly.

Vivian A. Oct 14, 2009, 3:50pm UTC

Btw I just pointed a link from HarperCollin's for Barbara Kingsolver's Poisonwood Bible on my page thing. It's highlighted and easy to find if you're interested.

Kat W. Oct 14, 2009, 4:16pm UTC

They were not the worst that I have read nor the best. The four went together but I felt that the storyline was too drawn out.

Vivian A. Oct 14, 2009, 4:56pm UTC

I totally get where you're going. I wondered. Thanks.

I love to read and I have so many great books on my bookshelf it isn't funny. Wouldn't be able to read 50. I barely manage one a month only because of real life stuff which includes two kids. Good job, keep up the good work hope you succeed.

Pam H. Oct 14, 2009, 9:56pm UTC

I keep very busy with the kids, but when I lie down at night, that is when I make time to read. It helps me to relax and fall asleep.

Wow, you are doing great. I have given up:)

Pam H. Oct 14, 2009, 9:56pm UTC

J, you truly have your hands full with the new little one. While my kids were really young, I did not have much time for me to read much less read to them.

Kat W. Oct 14, 2009, 10:05pm UTC

One of the joys of having kids that are in their teens is being able to get lost in a book.

I wonder if I can find out from the library's website how many books I've checked out this year. I'll have to check into that. I took 3 books back today and got 3 more and already had 5 at home to read by the end of October.

Kat W. Oct 14, 2009, 10:09pm UTC

I keep a list on my computer not just for tracking purposes but so I can remember if I have read certain books so I don't buy them again.

Heather M. Oct 14, 2009, 10:45pm UTC

I'm reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver right now. I also started another David Rosenfelt book; I read two more of his since my last review; I just never got around to writing the reviews.

Donald M. Oct 14, 2009, 11:43pm UTC

We didn't really care for Lisa Jackson's books. Did you enjoy her books?

Kat W. Oct 14, 2009, 11:50pm UTC

Really? I've liked everyone of hers that I have read so far.

Donald M. Oct 15, 2009, 12:05am UTC

'goodnight , Rest well.

I've never read the books, so I was wondering how close the books and the show True Blood are to each other.

M M. Oct 15, 2009, 7:03pm UTC

I have read almost every James Patterson book. Some Mary Higgens Clarks. A few other authors. Not sure of the count though, but it's a lot. I love to read.

You are making really good progress! I haven't read a book in quite a while, need to get back to reading because I really do enjoy it!
