I am married and have one very spoiled little Bichon who runs our household. I am a huge Auburn Tiger fan and I love Contemporary Christian, Classic Rock and Classic Country music.
My husband and I love to travel although we don't get to as much as we'd like due to our jobs. Cruising is our favorite form of travel these days.

    I'm glad you are back!

    I have an iPad2 which I've uploaded with books but I find I don't read much on the device. For one, it's hard to hold the iPad for long periods of time, unlike pulp books which just seem to be custom made for the human hand. For two, the iPad is a device I worry about droppinig and destroying it. Pulp books can take a licking. My iPad doesn't tuck into my handbag very well, when a paperback is an easy fit. Pulp books are user friendly in bright sunlight, the iPad is impossible to read in sunlight.

    Take care,
    ~Toastie~

    Hi Susan H,

    Was wondering ... how do you read books, pulp or digital, or both?

    Hi Susan:
    The Q has added a 'return to the top' note at the bottom left of each page.
    I guess others had the same complaint you did. I am sorry to hear that the
    Gulf oil situation has hit you personally. I hope it improves in the NEAR future.

    Hi Susan, how do you like the Q's new set-up? I like everything except the boxes
    in which we must type our posts. I think the boxes in the other system were more
    user friendly.

    I read a couple of Chiaverini books years ago, then picked up this latest one. They probably would be better if read in order, but as they're more like historical fiction than anything else, I was able to read this one and enjoy it as more of a stand-alone.

    Started Cutting for Stone last night and am engrossed!

    I liked it - I've read the first 3 in the series and have the other 2 on my TBR list. How did you like Silenced by Sirah? I have that one, but haven't read it yet.

    I'm reading Jennifer Chiaverini's book, The Lost Quilter, and after that, Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese.

    Oh my goodness, I am currently reading the exact same book that you are. I am to the part where the ladies are making a trip to the neighbor's home to deliver cookies while the family is away at the funeral.

    How about you?

    This is my first book by this author, but I like her enough already to go ahead and get another one, maybe I'll try the first one in the series. I ususally don't like to read books out of order.

    Hi Susan,

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Hoping for a year with less personal and national
    drama. Anticipating a fun year of Shelfari-ing and
    QVC-ing!

    Hi again, I just remembered that I didn't tell you how to enter tags. When your cursor lands on a book a window pops up. The word tag is included there ~ click on it/type your tag/save. Have a good one!

    Hi Susan: Tags are a way to personally organize
    your library. Some folks have hundreds of tags.
    Personally, I think having hundreds of tags defeats
    the purpose of tags. You can click on the tags in the
    area below the shelves of your Shelfari friends and
    others. I am using tags to highlight about 300 of the
    900+ books I have on display.

    Enjoy your party prep!

    Susan, if you get a chance, pop on the Q board to say hello and tell us what you are reading. If not now, definitely after the holidays! I also bake a lot at Christmas and love those sappy Lifetime movies! lainey
