-resuscitates-

-floats in- =^0^= Hello!

Hello ^.^ How is you?

- jumps in thread -
o 3o

So much jumping and floating XD

who else is floating??

You know it bro. ;U

Nobody, Rainy XD It just reminded me of the Mary Poppins scene. :3

The local library is so tiny, all the scfi/fantasy fits on one small shelf. It seems like they don't get entires series either -- just a couple from the middle/end of several series. What are your local libraries like?

I don't go to the public libraries in my city actually. xD;;
Unfortunately we owe money from a long time ago... so we don't go. >.<
It's fine though, if I want to check out a book and don't have money to buy it I can just go to my school library.
They have a good selection of books, plenty of fiction. ^^

Eh, I know how that goes. The replacement fee for an audiobook at a library about an hour from where I live is $70 -- O.O! Crazy. We didn't have to pay it because we didn't lose the audiobook, but now we don't check audiobooks out at that library XD

I'm pretty sure most libraries don't really hold a person responsible if a book's been out for a certain amount of years. You'd have to look into it for your local library, but for mine, my friend had a book checked out for something like ten years because she'd lost it, and she was afraid to go back. Then she went back just to check what she owed and they'd completely wiped their records of anyone who hadn't checked out a book in x amount of years.

But then again, my library system makes you renew your card every year, so they're very strict about clearing the system of unused accounts.

I think the books we had out were things I used for a science project... back in like elementary school or 6th grade or something. xD;;

My old library was like that, Johnny. It was also much bigger than most other libraries I've been to XD Since it's been so long, why not go back and check, Mew?

- shrugs -
I would like to get a library card but it's not really worth it right now. ^^;
Maybe when we're not so broke, just in case there is still money we owe.

The library system in my city is huge.

There are four "main" libraries (only one is actually called the Main Library, though) - ones that are open every day of the week, have over 10,000 books, etc. - and 17 other, smaller library branches. And they have a system set up so that you can order from one branch building to a building closer to you, and you can get them to buy books they don't have, etc.

My city might be pretty awful in terms of education, crime, and entertainment, but we've got an excellent library system. xD

We haven't really had such situation with losing books or anything like that. ^^;

Fffff, I want a big library system like that!

My books going missing usually has sibling sneakery involved. /not sure sneakery is a word.

Move to Jacksonville, Florida!

I could use a Library Buddy.

None of my friends really read. ]:

At least, none that I speak to on a regular basis.

B'aw that would be awesome! I could (and have) spend hours in a library. The big library that I miss didn't have a book checkout limit and sometimes I would end up with a cart full XD I used to devour books. I live in Kansas, though. Bleh XD

I've been neglecting this thread. >:
Although... I haven't really posted on Tris at all this week. ^^;;

Anyways, just finished a book last night, The Maze Runner. It was quite good, although some things were predictable in the end.
The first book I finished on my Nook, and I plan on buying the sequel to it once I can. :]

Hello. ^.^

I love reading fantasy novels.

I was going to read Lirel by Nix, but can not find my copy.

Is it hard to read the Nook in sunlight, Mew?

Have you read the first book in the series, Angel?

Yes. ^u^ I have read Sabriel a good while ago and enjoyed it very much.

I haven't actually gone outside to read it but it shouldn't be. :O
Since it has that e-ink screen it's supposed to be readable in sunlight.

Sounds interesting, but I am cautious about readers since they are not ink and paper.

I think it would be cool to have one, but I dunno how much I'd use it. I love the smell/feel of a book XD

Me, too! I like paper and pages and ink and alphabets as well as words and stories and characters.

Ya I still prefer a real book to one on my Nook, so if I really want the book then I'm gonna buy the actual thing. But it's easy to read on the Nook, doesn't hurt your eyes or anything. ^^
The books are also cheaper when you buy them for it so that's another reason. xD;

Anyways, I just finished a book, Behemoth by Scott Westerfield, and I loved it just like the first one in the series. ^^

That is good to know that the Nook is easy on the eyes. ^^

- pokes thread -
Anyone reading anything good? D:

I'm sort of working on Daughter of Prophecy still. The terms are starting to annoy me -- lots of fantasy writers will substitute something along the lines of "an hourglass's turn" or something for the word "hour," to sound more authentic, I suppose. That doesn't bother me. When they do that but they also still say things like "Adam's apple," it bothers me. If you're going to be picky about the word "hour," you shouldn't use the term "Adam's apple."

/rant XD

xDD
Besides those things how are you enjoying it?

I'm thinking about getting Pride & Prejudice & Zombies but I'm not sure. xD
Should I read the original story before I pick that one up? :O

Oh, besides that it's okay. Pretty cliche XD

Hmm, I would probably read the original first XD To appreciate all the changes. It's very hard to follow though XD

How much more of it do you have to read? :O

Haha ya I was thinking that. xD;;
Unfortunately I'm not really into those sorts of books... but with zombies... I could get into that. xD <3
I have it on my Nook cause I got it for free so I guess I'll just read it sometime, then get the edited version later. :O

. . . >.> Most of it XD

You could also watch the movie first. The one with Keira Knightley is REALLY awesome. Yay for free literature!

xD;;
Have fun with that.

I might if I'm not lazy lol.

I should get around to reading The Pretties.
