I may need to look for the book elsewhere! By the way -- it didn't really end up snowing here! Haha, I know a couple of inches isn't much to complain about, but I've never had to drive in it so I was scared. :) Things turned out perfectly, though: the big snowstorm never really hit, but schools were canceled so there was no traffic on the way to the airport! My car was totally icicled to the ground when I got back, though!

Isn't funny how much we let our insecurities take over? Even when it has to do with people we may not necessarily know? I was thinking about joining this book club, but opted out due to having no time right now :( oh, and the email addresses are like that for 2 reasons: 1-spammers can't email you 2-if someone google's your email address the post or comment won't show I only say this, because i recently wondered the same thing! :) I wanna know your favorite books!

I've been looking for good books to read and would love to get some ideas. I promise I won't judge. I really liked Harry Potter too but had to quit reading after the 4th book because they got too scary for me! No joke! I was really bummed when you didn’t post you favorite books!

I know - I had to like force myself into reading my first non-school book (and also non Harry Potter book) last year. It was so weird/sad that I had never read a book since about my junior year of HS. I kind of had to retrain myself to be interested in making my mind do imaginitive work, instead of seeing it flash before me on the computer or TV. ANYWAY - good job on your book club. I've been in a few of those. Good way to keep you reading. Nice work! I know – I had to like force myself into reading my first non-school book (and also non Harry Potter book) last year.
