I'm 35 and a native New Yorker living on the beautiful New Jersey Shore. I love to read. Ever since reading Bronte's Jane Eyre I've been hooked. I'll read just about anything, but there is nothing I like more than a good mystery.
Other than reading I enjoy vegging on the beach with my husband, traveling, shopping with the girls and... more »

    Hi! Thank goodness I got notice about another message because I wouldn't have seen yours otherwise. Things are interesting at our household but we're holding up. I've been on a book reading dry spell myself. I've been reading ... but not books. How are you?

    Hi Sweet Pea, I just saw what you are reading The Red Queen now. I am very interested in reading this however I am undecided...I love reading about kings and queens but I don't like to get too caught up in the historical details of the period, so that there is more details regarding the period and less story. So seeing that you are reading it now can you let me know if it is worth starting?


    Thanks so much.

    Hi Sweetpea! I haven't been on in an age and wanted to drop you a note. Are you going to be baking in the sun at the Jersey Shore? My girlfriend and her brother will be there this weekend!! I an envious for sure. As you know I live in AL now and the heat has been unbearable, really. Most of my greenery is just about brownery, LOL! What are you reading and what is on your TBR list this summer? Any new mysteries you would recommend?

    Oh I am so sorry! With Shelfari working differently, I didn't even know that I had any messages. I'm doing fine but you'll probably not be too happy with my shelves right now :( I've been on a book slump and have been reading mostly fan fic. I'm starting to get back into it though :)

    The avatar is really cute, isn't it! I wish I could say it was my cat but my 2 (Lucy and Ethel) would not stand for any dressing up I'm sure. Google Images has been a wonderful source for great pictures for me to use.
    I think your avatar is just beautiful and I would love to be there dangling my feet in the water right about now as it is already in the mid-high 80's here in Texas.

    Hi Lorin,its been a while since we saw you on Forever Summer Reading.I know its a quiet group,and you have since started using 12x12 for logging your reads,but I hope you can pop in just once in a while to tell us how you are getting on.Sometimes I find myself the only one posting,but the group provides one unique service,my 3 month TBR,which keeps me on track with my reading! lol.On 12x12 I just would wander around unfocused,but my Winter TBR on Forever Summer keeps me at least partly on track! lol Anyway,happy reading! :0)
