You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

hehe...smirk...evil grin...someone said "nekkid?" tee-hee (juvenile giggling and snorting)

It is a name you won't forget. I think the Mighty Mango must be their best seller because sometimes they are sold out of that one, so I try to go on the re-stocking day now. It is yummy!!!

I love Kroger's health food section, too. Fage yogurt is one of my favorites and Van's French toast sticks (cinnamon). Mmmmmm!

Debra, you are a hoot! You keep me ROTFLOL! I love you girl 'cause you make me laugh! ; )

Awwww shucks!

I really liked Seed. What did you think of it?

I really like it, too. It is deliciously frightful. I cannot remember being this creeped out by a book since The Shining.

I gave it 4 stars because the characters are so well developed that you want to keep reading to find out what will happen to them. There are several characters that I fell in love with while reading the novel. It is a book that makes you feel good about the characters and is a sort of beach read. It is a really fast read. I laughed and cried while reading the book. I guess I would recommend it if you are looking for something fun and light to read with interesting characters. Two of my favorite characters are a 79 year old woman and her dog. You cannot help but fall in love with this little old lady.
I got my money's worth out of the book.

Ooooooh - a creepy book like The Shining? I will have to read it.

I got a kindle version for $2.99. It will scare the pants off you! ; ) LOL

Just picked up "Blue Machine", "Green Machine", and "Protein Zone Mango" of the Naked variety. Each concoction has two servings. Will share this weekend, and see what we think.

Thanks for the head's up, Connie. I picked Seed up on Kindle for $2.99. Let's see if I can squeeze it in for the August Orange reads.

It's a short, fast, page-turner. I'm sure you could fit it in a read it in 1/2 a day! Perhaps someone should start a buddy read for The Seed? I'd add my comments if others want to. Bet we could get Almeta to pipe up, too!

Judy wrote: "Does that mean you are squeezing oranges, Janice?..."

I've finished one orange and have 2 on the go. It's just possible, I could get this one finished.

I can do a jig. I can do a dance. I can do a jiggy dance. I'm not exactly sure what a do-jiggy is. Unless you mean the tracker tapes?

The thing-a-ma-jig or the who-ma-ha? I think a spread sheet will work best. I'll fire up my other lap top so that I don't have to switch pages back and forth.

What did you think of The Secret Scripture? I started listening to it on audiobook and decided it migt be better in print form.

I LOVE this book! It takes a little while to get into it, but it will start to come together. It is one of my favorite books of the year.

I like this book. As a reader, I totally understand where she is coming from with her idea to read these books as a way to deal with grief. I got some good ideas about books from her, too.

These are wonderful books! You will love Falling Leaves! It is a very tender and heart touching story. I really enjoyed it!

I got some more books to add to my TBR list from you, Connie. Good books! Thanks!
