Converse away and enjoy your time on here.


message 2: by [deleted user] (new)

Anything interesting going on? I'm sitting at home thinking about hitting the library.

Oh, I just got Tweak Growing Up On Methamphetamines by Nic Sheff by Nic Sheff in the mail today.


message 3: by Andrez (new)

message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

No it isn't but we can start a thread for that book on for the other group. I also have the book and I'm looking forward to that read!


message 5: by Andrez (new)

Kate (katemreads) | 225 comments Just to let everyone know right now at Barnes and Noble all teen books are 50% off! The sale goes to the 27th.

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Darn it! LOL; wish we had a Barnes and Nobles here. All we have is Books A Million for the most part.

Thanks for telling us anyway! :)


message 8: by Kate (new)

Kate (katemreads) | 225 comments Actually I think it's just online, though I could be wrong. I usually order online since our Barnes and Noble is almost 30 minutes away.:( I just thouhgt I'd let everyone know! I know I'll be getting lots of books this week!


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

That is a great deal. I'd stock up if I didn't just get the nook. I'm going environmental friendly and doing e-books now.


message 10: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) That's a good thing! My mo likes her Kindle a lot; she just got her iPad in the mail today and guess what?! She said that she's going to get the GRs app, and she said that she will make an account and join our group! :))


message 11: by [deleted user] (new)

LOL! That will be a bit odd and fun! Whoa hoooooooo!


message 12: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Yepps; right now, she's just playing around with it and trying to work her Kindle app. Goodreads will be so much more fun (not that it isn't already ah-mazing) with my "mumzy" on here. LOL! :)


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

I was going to get an ipad because I use my iphone so much but there are already four computers in the house. I think we are covered. What we need is more internet connections. I sucks that when someone is on the 360 live no one else can use the net.


message 14: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Why is it like that?


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

Because then it is disconnected from the wireless.


message 16: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Wow . . . that must not be very fun for you and the boys. Or for anyone else when you have company. :(


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

It isn't too bad because otherwise I would be on the net all day! Well, most of the time anyway. I have my phone for anything important. I'm not without that is for sure.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh, I made deans list again. The letter I received said that I was one out of only 62 students. I can't believe that there is such a small amount on the deans list.


message 19: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Wow, that is pretty surprising. There were only like 10-15 students at my middle school (7th and 8th grade) that had all A's the entire year. I was one of them :) Congrats, Elyssa!

You deff don't seem without. 4 comp.'s and a phone. We have 2 phones capable of internet, 2 working desktops, 1 laptop, and a desktop that isn't hooked up.


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

Congrats to you too! Good Job. We are team awesome!


message 21: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Lol, Not sure about ah-sum. Maybe ah-mazing!! LOL :)


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

Ahh... ok. I'll let you win. I just finished another book, well, two.


message 23: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Which ones?


message 24: by [deleted user] (new)

Added them to my pages. A choose your own path Goosebumps book, which I red to my son about a million and one ways. And slogged through Nighlight to finish it. UGh.


message 25: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Said you just had to finish it so it would count, huh? Was it really that bad? Wow, and I had heard it was so funny... :(


message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

Yup, I figured since I wasted time on it already I should just finish it. It is really short 150 pages. No, I didn't like it at all. I really didn't think it was funny. I never once laughed. It was more stupid then anything.


message 27: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Well that's defintely a book that you should one: put in the Books you DONT Rea=commend topic and two: never ever ever ever read again :) I def am not going to read it now.


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

Ah, That is a good idea.


message 29: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Well I sort of thought that you would think of that, being that you were the one to start the conversation. But then again... :)

For Marked, do we just read til the end or do we have certain days that we're supposed to read the assignments?

message 34: by Kate (new)

Kate (katemreads) | 225 comments I have a weird question. Does anyone know what swag is? On blogs and some other places they've either been giving away "swag" or they'll tell about the "swag" they got. I think it's just like extra stuff you can get from authors such as bookmarks and stuff but I'm not sure.


message 35: by Zakiya (last edited May 31, 2010 06:49PM) (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) SWAG

1. Slang: stolen money or property; loot; plunder
2. Australia: a) a bundle containing personal belongings. b) a large number or amount


Source: Webster's New World Dictionary of American English, Third Edition


message 36: by Kate (new)

Kate (katemreads) | 225 comments Hmmm. Not sure if that's exaclty what I'm looking for but thanks! I think it's more like bookmarks and stickers and stuff. Stuff from "Goodie" packages, well, I think.


message 37: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Ahh, well I've never actually heard of that definition before. Good to know, though :)


message 38: by [deleted user] (new)

It's is like what Kate says, extra stuff. Like Z under the first defintion. LOOT!! Like as in treasure... Rrrr!


message 39: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) You really are obsessed w pirates... LOL! :)


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

Or just depp! ;)


message 41: by [deleted user] (new)

I can't believe it is June already.... A whole new month. Rrrr!


message 42: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Lol, Lyss. I know right! A new month with whole new possiblities and a lot more reading to get done *looks around at giant stacks of books and picks one up to start reading*


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok... posted questions for rebel angels!

I have to say that I am liking this book 100 times more then the first book. It is like her writing and story line got so much better. But I have more of the book to read. I'll see if I stand by this statement when i'm done with the book.


message 44: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Ha, same here.


message 45: by Jenny (last edited Jun 05, 2010 09:40PM) (new)

The dead tossed waves... let me know how that one is. I've been kind of eying that one up. And ballad and the prophecy sisters. LOL.

OMG!!! You went to the mall, and didn't tell Mrs. Penny to come pick me up?? Meanie alert... J/K


message 50: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jenhysaj) | 98 comments @ Lyss - So, I'm smack dab in the middle of the dead tossed waves. Before I even started, the cover had like this ominous feel to it. Like I hadn't even opened the book yet and I could feel my tummy rumble with the thought of zombies. *shudders* didn't stop me from digging into it. Deep into it!!
