David Estes Fans and YA Book Lovers Unite! discussion

What is everyone doing this weekend? What are you reading?

My family and I plan to drive to Baltimore. I have a very dear friend who is celebrating her sons bar mitzvah. I'm so excited to go. I'll get to see some friends that I don't get to see often.

I hope to finish this amazing book by my lovely friend. Rising. I highly recommend it! Must put it on your to read list. Stephanie Judice writes beautifully and the story is so good. I have a new book boyfriend from it!! Woo hoo. If I finish that book, onto Obsidian! Wool hoo!! Can't wait.

Have a great weekend everyone!

D'vora

Have a great time D'vora! We will be going to my daughter's dance recital this weekend...they are always so cute!

I am working this weekend. Yuck! I do plan on getting my books and reviews done if I have time. Luckily I only work every other weekend, so the following weekend will be full of fun.

Anything exciting going on out there this weekend? My daughter has a friends bday party on Sunday and mt parents might come here for the day on Sunday to see the kids.

You?

Nothing but work this weekend, but next weekend a mini vacation/2nd honeymoon!

Nothing that I can think of right now. But theres always tomorrow!

Editing. That's all I'm doing. *yawn*

Going to go watch Ice Age 3 with my son, have a sleepover with him at my parents, sleep in, and then go hit some golf balls - very excited!!!

Then I'll start up revising The Star Dwellers from some of the initial beta feedback I've received

"On the beach" - you and your tax-free work environment!

Lol you got it!!!

Okay, scratch my previous weekend plans. Made it out with my son for Ice Age 3, then got a call from my wife that my oldest daughter SWALLOWED A QUARTER!!! It was stuck in her throat (thankfully in a position where she could breathe). So spent from 7pm until 5am at two different hospitals and thankfully they got it out. Boy how things change from one minute to the next...at least we know what to get her for Christmas - a piggy bank;-)

Heading to Cleveland for a long weekend with the hubby. Happy weekend everyone! Talk to ya on Monday.

Enjoy Tina!!!

I'm back :) I had the best time in Cleveland. We went in a WWII submarine(loved it), to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame(so so), the Natural History Museum, the Art Museum(beautiful) and the Cleveland Zoo and Rainforest. So much fun, and can you believe I didn't read the whole time. Now I need to catch up! LOL

Wow - that's a fun weekend. A WW2 submarine. That would be epic-ly fun! I live in VA and the naval bases are only a couple of hours from my house and I have never been (my loss).

It was so interesting. I couldn't believe how cramped it was. Men had to sleep on bunks right on top of the torpedos and you should've seen this tall guy try to move around in there. I am 5'2" and it was cramped for me. LOL

Wow crazy! Glad you had a good time :)

Tomorrow my boys have their first football scrimage of the season, then school shopping and dinner. Sunday, last trip to the lake before school starts! Summer is almost over. :(

Sounds like a great weekend Tina! Enjoy!! We're in Nashville and going to see Keith Urban at the Grand Old Opry tomorrow night woohoo!!

School clothes, check
Shoes, check
a new book, check LOL

Hope you had a great time at the concert David!

Lol your whole list is done!

The concert was awesome and there was an inspiring story I'll share on my Facebook page in a few minutes :)

Yep. It was pretty easy. Now I just have to take them next week to get schedules, pics taken, school fees, books...LOL

I will check it out on fb. I am so glad you had a good time.

Today is my sons 8th birthday!! Party!!!! We are having around 13 kids. ALL BOYS. my husband thought it would be a good idea to get a piñata. Yeah. Smart. ::::::shakes head:::::::: I'm staying inside for that!!!!

Wow, it's gonna be a fun- (mad-) house!

Piñata stuffed, balloons blown. Mommy needs a pill!!!! LOL

Hahaha!

LOL. You will need some alone time after the party. I remember those days too well. LOL

Very successful party. Everyone is completly wiped out! Bedtime can't come soon enough. Well for the kids. You all know I ain't sleeping tonight!!! LOL

LOL I am glad the party was a success!

This saturday i don't know what i'm doing and this sunday i'm going to help my mom put up the Christmas tree

That's sweet! I miss putting up the Christmas tree! But now that we're travelling it's a bit difficult. Maybe in a couple of years once we settle down again :)

Well Friday was last day of the winter semester for me. Went to the movies with my friend and saw The Hobbit (which I suggest highly that you go see it, was fantastic and I found myself attracted to one of the dwarves...:)). Saturday, slept till three in afternoon lol, then left around 5 with my dad went to mall, Best Buy, Walmart, then ate at IHOP. Got home, put up my Christmas tree, then I wrapped presents, making some of them look like tootsie rolls...:)) He he

Yep, been pretty good so far. AND YES! You definatley have to go see The Hobbit, effects are awesome, cast is great, and there are more funny parts in this one. I would love to see it again. And I hope you have a good Sunday too!!! :)

Weekend's not here yet but my last weekend was sooo full! I didn't get time to read at all so I missed school today and finished A Christmas Carol. It was goood :D

Aww nice!! I'm looking forward to this weekend, might go get some Thai food at this little place in Mexico :) That will be a nice break from all the Mexican food (although we love that too!)

Oh and comes out on Friday, so I'm super excited about that!!!!

Get ready to start school again. School holidays are over :(

Nice ;) Enjoy the commercials!

I too am going to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday. My granddaughter is having an overnight Saturday and I will take her home and we will all watch the Super Bowl. Go NINERS!
Last night I bought David's book Fire Country and have put down my zombie book in favor of Fire Country! Yay!

Ooh the Super Bowl, I almost forgot because it doesn't get talked about much here in Mexico lol!

And aww wow, thank you so much, I hope you enjoy FC!

Oh, David, where are you in Mexico? I used to go once or twice a year when I had a good paying job. I went to Puerto Vallarta and all around there, Cancun and all around there, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, all around there., and Cabo and all around there. I love Mexico! But they are into soccer which I am not.

By the way, in FC the character's name is Siena. PLEASE tell me how to pronounce her name! I thought it was See Ena but her nickname is Sie so is that "SEE" or "Sye" (rimes with eye)? If it is SYE then her name Siena may be pronounced SYENA? Help!

Haha! It's "See Ena" or "See" ;) You had it right the first time!

We've been in Mexico for almost 4 months :) A month in Cancun, a month in Isla Majueres (might've misspelled that), a month in Playa del Carmen, and a month in Tulum (current location). We also did a week in Merida, which we LOVED. Actually, we've loved all of Mexico although Tulum and Isla Majueres were probably our favorites. Not a bad place to spend the U.S. winter!

I have been to all those places and have a friend who goes down every winter. He lives in Wisconsin so I get it. I would love to escape to Mexico for the winter but can't so it anymore. Playa del Carmen is my favorite place of all but did love Isla also. Tulum is pretty awsome, too, love that area. Cancun is too commercial for moi. Like a US city. Playa has great beaches, small town with bars on the beach like Puerto Vallarta, but the beaches are amazing in Play.
