Really looking forward to this. It is a Lehane book and more importantly it is a buddy read with my Goodreads friend The Belladonna.

I have a weird question. Has anyone ever had one of their reviews stolen from someone else here for the same book? On a book I read awhile ago I just read a review that is basically word for word as mine. I probably will not do anything. I don't even know if Goodreads would do anything. I just think it is unusual.

Buddy read with my Goodreads friend Trashique.

Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble with this website the last couple of days. I have clicked on a book or a series and the title and description are in a different language (I believe Spanish). And now I just clicked on a series where I have read books from and none of them are marked "read". I have to go to each one individually to see them marked as "read".

I have a question. Do you do anything if someone commented on one of your reviews by saying how a specific character died without hiding it with spoilers? I don't think there is anything I can do but I hate to think that someone will might read my review and be spoiled of something so important.

I wish goodreads and my kindle paperwhite would stop marking this book as "read" every time I stop reading it. I have to keep on editing my bookshelf because of the reading challenge. If I didn't I would have read this 5 times already.

I promise I will like more challenges but I must have reached my like limit. I will never understand why that happens.

1300 pages!!! It will be the longest book I have ever read. I am going to give it a try. The only problem is that this probably going to kill my chances of me completing my Goodreads reading challenge.

We all have probably said that "I liked the book better than the movie" when a book has been adapted to a movie. I can't imagine this being the case this time though. I shall soon see.

This is it. Before I joined Goodreads I started on a journey to read every Dragonlance book. I believe it is close to 200 books. This is my last unread one. It has taken awhile and I have enjoyed the journey. And I do feel like it was a journey.

I know GR has had some issues lately. I just wrote a review and marked a book read but it was not added to my reading challenge. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is one of the issues?

Is it me or does it seem like all library holds seem to come in at the same time? I received two emails over night that two kindle holds are ready to be checked out and I am pretty sure a third is almost ready to be mine. And the kindle holds cannot be renewed because others are waiting for them. When the two weeks are up they disappear. I don't mind dealing with this type of problem.

I was wondering what other readers felt about an issue I am having with a currently reading book. If there is bad editing or constant misspelling of an established character, does that take away from the enjoyment of the book? Or do you ignore it and try to enjoy the story?

One of the characters was reading Dean Koontz "Watchers". I loved this little shout out.

I turn on my Kindle to read the book I am currently reading. To my surprise I see Stephen King & Owen King "Sleeping Beauties" on there. Gave me a startle as I thought I bought a book without realizing it. Or worse that someone hacked into my account. Then I realized I won a giveaway. The more plausible explanation and the one that makes me happier.
