Hi everyone,
I just recently changed my profile picture. Because I had a picture of a puppy, I was getting a lot of friendship requests from children. I think children are great and mine is 19, but since I am 44 years old I really just want to keep friends with other grown ups. So if you are a kid and I took you off it's nothing personal. Thanks. more »

    The note about the puppy made me laugh out loud -- but you didn't say, what's the new picture? It's got, what they told me at school was, "attitude." Sorry - awful sentance, but I hope you'll get my drift.

    Thank you then for teh recommendation. I know manga is becoming a big hit for adults for some reason now. Did you read any? If so, which ones do you like? I'm writing an artcile about 40 year olds, and the attraction of manga. It used to be liked by teenagers and kids, but now people are saying adults are reading it too. Your opinion?

    Yes I greatly enjoyed the Charlaine Harris books, and I'm working on watching the TV show. I've read the actual novels by Hamilton, but I haven't read the graphic novels. Are they worth reading?

    Hello, Esmeralda

    Since you like to 'fantasy cast', I thouight I'd tell you about our website just for fantasy casting. It's called StoryCasting (www.storycasting.com), and we have a large group of people who show up just to cast. Based on your experience here, I'd be VERY interested in your comments, not just on the website, but on the whole book-casting thing. We'd someday like Amazon/Shelfari to partner with us - it just seems natural, since they also own the iMDB, too.

    Hope to hear from you!

    I'm almost finished with Twilight (the first of a series of books) by Stephanie Meyer. I think that you might enjoy these books! My school librarian referred me and I can barely sleep or eat because I have so little time to read for fun and I love this book!

    Hey Esmeralda- I'm not a kid - This is a pic of my lovely daughter!! I noticed you have a lot of Diana Gabaldon books on your shelf. I read the lst 2-3 of her books then got away from them. Would like to pick her up again. Do the others follow the same story line or are they different?

    I will post a thread that has the letters of the ABC's list, then start your own thread for example mine would be Sherry's ABC's and list the books that you read with those letters has the first letter in any title of book, it doesn't have to be in the genre either. Each person will be responsible for sending me their points via the group email at vampireswitchesweresallthat@yahoo.com. For every book you read during the time period (until the next letters are posted) you will receive 10 points in the email you must list the title, author, and pages so that if there is tie, we will use page count to break the tie. Everyone is eligible to win, even admin's as a third party will be keeping track of the points for me...so post the books you read...I will post the first letters on July 1.

    As always happy reading..

    Fellow Shelfari Friend,

    i recommend strongly you read:: How Wal-Mart is Destroying America. See
    what your conclusions are , and then share your thoughts top other consumers. Here are my thoughts...( note: I try to be a fair, siomple minded, common sense person at all times. This book has me a tad perturbed, to say the least




    Here are my thoughts

    Is anyone as Disgusted and Disturbed as I am after reading this book? I realize the author has a bit of a slant as he abhors WM, however it is downright scary.

    Can this company be any worse for America?

    Where do we start?
    Importing tons of CHEAP product from overseas
    Greedy
    Taking advantage of its workers
    Beating its suppliers out of business for its own gain
    Killing economies as they move into town.
    Utilizing and taking advantage of government subsidies to get their "boxes" built.

    So we all save 10 cents per box of popcorn or a gallon of cranberry juice.

    This to me sums up how silly we the American people are. We are outsourcing America to death. Pretty soon there will be no jobs so we won t be able to shop anywhere.

    Not to mention the service is awful.

    We the public have the final say and we CHOOSE to shop where we want.

    Will some peope read this and STILL shop there to save a few pennies?.. of course. however i think if most read this........ they ll choose to spend their dollars elsewhere.

    Walmart is , in my opinion eating America up. We all need to wise up here. I don t know of a situation where monopolies are any good for the consumer. Do you??

    Thanks,
