Hi folks! Does the Easter bunny leave the baskets at your house inside or outside? When I was little, the Easter bunny always left my basket on the front porch and hid some candy around the yard. And now that's the way I…

Series of Unfortunate Events, Book the Tenth
My daughter and I have read the first nine together but decided to try listening to one and it's great! Tim Curry reads it and he does a wonderful job. (I've always had a soft spot for him anyway since my youthful Rocky …

Change in question -What in your opinion is the ultimate fluff book?

Lots of romances!
I love historical romances as fluffy escapes. I often learn something in spite of myself but basically they are just fairy tales for grownups. Lots of fun without any real brain work.
When I read romances, which I love as wonderful escapes, I often think those relationships would not survive long-term. So often the characters are from such different worlds I can't imagine them staying together. Also, …
Didn't he practice in Scotland? I always loved his books. You might try them, especially if you're an animal lover.

I'm Bootsie, the mother of Missy-Moo and Schmoopie!
Ever since I was an infant, my parents called me Bootsie. I thought I would be rid of that name when I was grown, but now my husband calls me that part of the time (when he's not calling me Mom!). My nieces and nephews c…
Is roaches! I could even be considered a fan of spiders, snakes, mice, and all those other critters that people are often afraid of, but I will hide behind my 8 yo daughter if I see a roach and let her save me from it!

My family gets frustrated because I end up staying so long. I just take a good book, or even a crossword, have a seat, and let nature take its course in a relaxed fashion. It's a place where I don't feel guilty for readi…

Re: US ONLY.. FAVORITE MEOWS ...BOOKRING
I pm'ed you with a question about procedure--do I keep the bookmark or whatever that the previous person sent and replace it with something new or do we pass all the items along so they end up back with you?
I have found myself using these books as examples in some of my responses to other posts but have not seen anyone else talking about them. My daughter and I have been reading them together and really enjoy them.
I will …

Fave: GWTW, Least fave: Series of Unfortunate Events
As several others have listed, Gone With the Wind is a wonderful translation to the big screen. The few things that were left out really don't affect the story that much (and it may actually be better to think of Bonnie …
I know they are juvenile fiction, but I find them to be fun and unpredictable. There are lots of crazy plot twists...
Recently I have gotten several fun books of obscure words and neologisms:

The Superior Person's Second Book of Weird and Wondrous Words, by Peter Bowler

Does anyone else find David Sedaris' writing not funny?

Re: Just goes to show how individual tastes can differ.
Oh, I feel your pain! I also find Mel Brooks extremely un-funny. My husband thinks Blazing Saddles is the greatest movie ever made and I cannot stand to be in the room when he watches it. (I did like Young Frankenstein w…
My all-time favorites are T. R. Pearson and Dave Barry. Some others I love are Elizabeth George and Anne Rivers Siddons. My current favorite is Jeffery Deaver. I also love Janet Evanovich. And I'm finding new ones to lov…

Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus, by Orson Scott Card
I went to my local used bookstore hoping against hope that they would have a hardback copy of Ender's Game because Mr. Card will be at our Barnes & Noble this week and I would love for him to sign it. I didn't find it of…
I picked up this romance at the library on the basis of title alone. It is a sequel to "Nerd in Shining Armor," which I have not read. The story is pretty good; the sex is fairly graphic. But I loved the title and the id…
