Just managed to get back on Goodreads for the first time in months. :/ The first thing I saw were a bunch of bitchy messages from fans of "warriors" by Erin Hunter. ugh. Who knew not liking a middle grad series about talking cats would set people off so badly?

I'm pretty sure the fans are kids with to much screen time on their hands, nut I can't prove it. :/

and we all thought the trolls for clare books were bad.

I am so done with social media. Goodreads used to be fun. 😕 it's not fun anymore. judgmental, arrogant jerks. People thinking I'm stupid. I'm just exhausted with it. Reading and review used to be fun. Now all I feel is dread every time I turn on my tablet. 😤 I'm thinking about closing my account. What's the point if all it does is stress me out?

So over authors being dicks. 😡😡😡

lanie's advice for the day:

don't insult others for their reading choices. (We don't have to agree on which books are good or bad.)

Don't assume you know what people believe based on books they love. (It's a poor way to judge people)

Don't bother trying to share your thoughts with people who think they're smarter than everyone else. (They never want to listen.) (I'm talking to you, there, big brother! XD)

Not as realistic as I'd like, but I'll suspend my disbelief. It's actually quite good. I almost cried just now, reading about her Dad.

I'm going to talk go someone later about a new job! Uber excited about it! XD more money and hours, hopefully. My friend's been telling her new bosses how good a worker I am, so hopefully I get hired quick. :D everyone root for me! I need money to spoil my cat and fund my library!

Lol. My roommate's room is becoming a library when she moves out in August. 😅

Not the best book ever, but still ok. The audiobook is pretty good. :)

Omg. I've got 33 followers on my wattpad account! People are reading my writing! They like it! Omg. Is this what real writers feel like?! :) I feel Loved! :)

Btw. If anyone is interested in reading my stuff, I'm under SherwoodDemon on wattpad.com. :) go look it up. I'm writing a historical fantasy novel about a man who wants to kill Robin Hood. :)

This is amazing so far.

I hate having to justify my reading to my family and friends. -_- yes. I know twilight is crap. Yes, I I am reading it again. Yes, I DID put it on a neat little stand so we can see it's pretty cover. That's what I do with the novel I'm currently reading. No, its not any of your business why I'm rereading it, so leave me alone, so I can enjoy my trash fiction in peace.

This is such a calm, comforting read, you know what I mean? Trashy, simple mindless fun that requires no effort. I need this after The day I've had.

It's not very Halloween-ish, but it does have vampires. ;) I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately where all the novels I try to read aren't working. So I thought I'd re-read something I know I like.... Even if it is bad. Lol. I actually needed to re-read the series anyway, so I could finally read "life and death" and the bree tanner novella. :)

Just got my Halloween to read shelf in order! I LOVE Halloween! Get ready for SO many scary books!!! Love, love, love me some horror!!! XD can't wait for October to officially start!!!

Not to bad so far. :) I picked this up randomly when I was reorganizing my shelves to fit new ones in and haven't put it down yet. :) hopefully it stays fun.

Just went to an awesome bookstore with my family. :D so fun! Got some books I needed. Completed my "matched trilogy" set & got a hardback of "Harry potter and the sorcerer's stone". Now I just need chamber of secrets and I'll have the whole series in nice hardbacks. :D

I'm going to take a break from goodreads for a couple weeks. I'm writing something for my sisterhood birthday and for it to be completed on time, it's going to take all my free time,

Dude. Dude. This is heart wrenching. Watching my sweet frog prince forget everything he cares about! :'(

I'm not crying, you're crying.

If froggy and red don't get their happily ever after, I am going to be SO FUCKING pissed.

Six book franchise. Lol

Omg. Yay! "Matthew and his husband Henry" XD

This opening is fascinating so far. :)

So. I know, I'm a grown ass person. But I really need some motivation when it comes to reading the novels I already have. I always want to go to the library and get something new that I haven't been looking at for months, lol.

Is it lame that I kinda want to buy a stick chart for like little kids and give myself a sticker every time I finish a book? Then when I reach ten, I get a prize?

Probably a new book. XD

Humans often fail to see what is close to them and obvious to others.

Lol. So true, don. So true
