About me What's there to know. I'm a workaholic that loves to read and I have 5 cats and 4 dogs. I think my family is crazy, but I love them all (even if I do have to visit them individually cause the hate each other). Plus the hubby is pretty amazing cause he just laughs when I say I need another book and he gets them for me. :)

About my library I keep every book ever placed in my hands, regardless if I did not like it, have not read it or took over ownership from the hubby. I tend to lean toward reading YA, fantasy, memoirs and biographies the most. But will give any book a read that is recommended to me, it just may take a while to get to it, my TBR pile is out of control.

Hello!! Thanks for the congrats on soon to be graduating. I cant believe that I will be done with school soon and teaching full time. I am still in the middle of City of Ashes, I cant find the time to read it because I am trying to finish my big portfolio project for my mater's program. Why is it when you have the most things to do you all you want to do is read? I cant wait to finish it though. I loved Stephanie Meyer's books so I thought I would give Host a try. I didnt realize that it was already out though. I guess I know what my next read will be. I have never read any of Brunonia Barry, should I and if so which should I start with? Well be better get back to writing instead of playing on Librarything.

Hello! I have not been on librarything in forever. I am getting ready to graduate from Trinity's MAT program and have a huge project due soon so of couse I am procrastinating. What are you reading right now or have been reading lately? I just reread City of Bones and am now reading City of Ashes. Are you looking foward for summer almost being here?

hey there! I just finished City of Ashes and noticed you were the only other reviewer out there. Then I realized we have similar tastes in books so I added you as a "friend." Hope you don't mind. :-)

Hello! I hope that you had a very merry christmas! Did you get any good books from Santa? I finally finished reading the last in the golden compass trilogy. It is a sad but good ending. I'm about to start The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. Have you read it? Have a fabulous day!

You are so very welcome! I really like "I am the Messenger," and I think you will too. I hope you have a lovely holiday season; it was great being your SantaThing! :)

Just wanted to thank you so so much for your Secret Santa choices. I have been wanting to read a Holly Black book for a long time now and I've heard only wonderful things about "The Kite Runner". Once again, thank you so much. You did a wonderful job! ^^

Hello! Time has gotten away from me too!! I have no idea what happens to my days. I could never decide if I should buy the Book Thief, would you recommend that I buy it? I loved the Looking Glass Wars!!! I can't wait until the third book comes out. Since time has been disappearing, I'm still reading the Abmer Spy Glass but I am excited to finish it. What are you reading right now? I'm just starting my holiday shopping and have no time to read but I'm still trying to make time. Have a wonderful weekend!

My Bible is the Confraternity Version of the Old Testament, edited by the Reverend Joseph A. Grispino. I highly recommend it.

Hello!! I have actually read City of Bones! It was good. I heard that she was going to write more but I have not heard anything lately about a second book, have you? I've seen Book Thief in the stores but never knew if it would be good enough to read. Is it worth buying? This week has been so long and now this weekend is going so fast! I'm not ready for next week.

hello!! I'm glad you loved Extras too! I was surpised to see the cutters come back too but i was glad that they did. The books just would not have been complete without Tally re-entering. I thought it was crazy that the city was in Japan but you didnt find out until the book was half way through. I finished The Subtle Knife the other night. It is so good AND i cant believe that it just ends in the middle of all that chaos. I really need to go to B&N and get the third book because I have to know how it all ends. But until i go and buy the third book I am reading The Looking Glass Wars. Have you read or heard about this book? It's the "real" story of Alice and Wonderland. So far it's good and i have heard a lot of good things about it. How was your trip to you concert?

Hello!! How is the reading going? Have you read Extras yet? I loved it! I thought it was a very good ending for the books. Right now I'm reading the second in The Dark Matter series. I really like. It seems to be as good as the frist one was so far. I really like the character Will.

Yeah it is interesting that Lyra just leaves Roger in the snow but hopefully he will come back into play sometime if not in the second book than at least in the third. I have not read Kite Runner but have heard good things about it. My roommate is reading it right now so I will have to borrow it from her after she is done with it. i didnt know that they are going to make it into a movie though. Do you know what is around the corner? October 2, which is the release date for Extras by Scott Westerfeld. I cant wait for that!! Hope you are having a good Wednesday! They are always so long feeling to me!

Hello!! I've read the Golden Compass so far, which I really liked and am excited to see what they do with the movie. I've bought the second book in the series but I haven't had the time to read it yet. Right now I'm rereading Pride and Prejudice because I just love it!! The Dark Materials series is pretty dark though but are you enjoying it so far?

Thanks for informing me about that group. That sounds like something I would want to do. I'm not really sure how groups work though. How do you add yourself or do you just jump in and reply to other comments? I'm so glad that you love the series. It is one of my all time favorites now.

I'm so glad that you loved Twilight! I actually was the first one in my family to read it and I made my 12 year old sister read it after me and the we both made my 27 year old sister read it too. We all love it. It is crazy how many different ages love these characters. They are just so real. I hope you like the next two in the series and I cant believe we will have to wait at least another year for the forth book. Hope you have a good weekend and fun reading time.

posted by sandypants at 3:55 pm (EST) on Aug 25, 2007

hello. how are things going? Have you had a chance to read Twilight yet? The thrid book in the series was just as good as the first two. Have you read anythig good of the late that you think that I should read?

posted by sandypants at 9:34 pm (EST) on Aug 16, 2007

Hey, I was just checking out people I shared books with, and I also remembered seeing your name from the 50 Book Challenge group, so just thought Id stop by and drop a line!

I'm so glad that you loved Harry Potter book 7. I also loved the ending and seeing who married who! Oh and the children's names!! Have you read Twilight and New Moon by Stepanie Meyer? They are so good and the third book in the series come out August 7. I hate waiting for books. Hope you are having a good week.

posted by sandypants at 10:12 pm (EST) on Jul 31, 2007

Well I finished Harry Potter over the weekend. Let me know when you finish it and what you thought! I loved it! Hope you have a good week!

posted by sandypants at 12:15 am (EST) on Jul 24, 2007

Hello! Guess what! Harry Potter book 7 comes out tonight!!! I cant wait. I hope that your friend reads his book fast so you can read it too. I'm nervous about the ending but love always conquers all. Harry has to win. Have a good weekend.
