What a sweetie!

Thanks for sharing!

Gee, and she seemed so knowledgeable. How to kill a career.

"The only thing standing between me and greatness is me". If you think of the word "greatness" as standing in for words like "success" and "happiness", this quote sums up my life, and my life's battles, in a nutshell.

I know how you feel. About once a week or so I get the "protein plate" at Starbuck's for lunch. It's good. Has a hard-boiled egg, a mini whole wheat bagel, 2 pieces of cheddar cheese, apple slices, grapes. And a packet of "peanut butter" complete with sugar and salt. Why do they think...

I agree that you should have a blog, Clare!

Sorry to hear it. I don't know much about it, but isn't it possible that it won't slow you down at all? I used to have bad pain in my feet, and was told by a podiatrist that I had moderate to severe arthritis in my feet. I did absolutely nothing about it, but today my feet are completely pain...

I just have to share this: I ordered "Case Histories" by Kate Atkinson for my Kindle for $7.99 and I noticed that my Kindle downloaded both Case Histories and One Good Turn, also by Kate Atkinson. I checked, but I only paid for the one. :) I've read that the prices of Kindle books will be...

I wouldn't change much, but I sure would have a new attitude about it. :cool: I would hire a personal pilates trainer and have lots of lasar hair removal.

I know most of you drive, but for anyone who walks to TJs, I found a wonderful device for walking the bags home. It holds up to 8 bags of groceries. (Our TJs is about 3/4 of a mile away).

Thanks, Mattea! The more opinions the better. I guess I'll be reading about Mary Russell in the near future. :D

You DO know you can buy it from Amazon.uk, right? It's about double the price after shipping and currency conversion and such. I'm giving it serious consideration.

Lolita is quite a book. There have been a few movie versions, but the one with Jeremy Irons and Frank Langella is superb. Generally, I don't like seeing a movie when I've read the book, but that movie is an exception.

Wonderwoman, I went to TJ's for the first time in 2009, when one finally opened near me. It took me a few trips to really start appreciating it, so give it time. There isn't a single nationally advertised product in the whole store. TJs has its own suppliers and manufacturers, and the quality...

You are very welcome, Robin, but I can't take all the credit. The book was recommended to me by several people on this forum, including those who posted in this thread. Clare, you haven't said a word about whether you picked up Hornet's Nest in the UK. I'm assuming you did, and you've read...

I can't believe he died and we will never know more about Lisbeth Salander, one of my favorite characters of all time. Where do you go after Lisbeth Salander? What can you read and enjoy just as much? Any ideas? I fear all will pale in comparison.

I am completely spoiled by TJs. Now I expect everything I buy to be of the highest quality and absolutely delicious at a price lower than I could have imagined. If TJs goes away, I have no idea how I'll ever get used to real life again. :eek:

Oh, Robin, I'm glad you're enjoying the Steig Larsson book! I'm about half way through The Girl Who Played With Fire and I was horrified to read that that the third in the trilogy won't be published here until May 25! I checked on Amazon.uk and found that I can order it for what totals after...

I've never tried another e-reader, so I can only tell you why I bought my Kindle 2 and why I love it: 1. No more book clutter! 2. Kindle books cost less than paper books, so, it saves money. 3. Instant gratification. Anywhere I am, I can think of a book I want to read and download it...
