@Orpheus: See I'm at a gym, sooo people are annoying. At night there's no one there so I just lock up and go. xD

@Terrena: I don't really use that anymore. ^_^; I prefer GoodReads. It doesn't have as many glitches and seems more organized to me.
But - yes - books are fun! xP

TerrenaAnimula 05-30-2010 01:37 AM

GoodReads? I have heard of it. I hadn't even heard of Shelfari until a few months ago. XD

Dream_and_Die 05-30-2010 01:39 AM

xD Well my goodreads link is down there too if you want to look at it. I just had to many problems with books in a series being categorized as separate editions of only one books. Confused me to much. x_X

TerrenaAnimula 05-30-2010 01:40 AM

I clicked. It's seems nice. I'm currently joining it. I'll get my books I've read on it sometime soon. I need to since I'm not going to renew my website for not enough money to renew it. :/

Dream_and_Die 05-30-2010 01:42 AM

What website?
Have you thought of joining the 50 Book challenge thread? It's pretty fun.

TerrenaAnimula 05-30-2010 01:43 AM

No. I don't even think I've read through it. I know I will more than likely read 50 books this year. I've already read more than what I did last year.

Chikuma 05-30-2010 01:43 AM

Is that what the 50 book challenge is, just read 50 books a year?

TerrenaAnimula 05-30-2010 01:44 AM

I would assume so...

Rainbows 05-30-2010 01:45 AM

Oh, crap, I forgot about my 50 book challenge.
I'm well over 100 for this year, but my goal is 250... I haven't written anything down in a long time @[email protected];

Dream_and_Die 05-30-2010 01:45 AM

Not really. It's a challenge, 50 is just an example.
It's basically: Come geek out about books, and possibly keep track of your books! xD
I talk in there more then any other thread (except events).
My goal was 150. I started in October so I have about 5 months left of my year. I think I'm going to make it. ^_^

@Rainbows: See, sorta keep track. XD

Chikuma 05-30-2010 01:47 AM

I couldn't do that. I read all the time and if I choose I could do the challenge but then it would not be fun for me. I would keep thinking 'I have to finish this for the goal' rather than for simple enjoyment. Though I must admit I still think it is a good idea. Some people do really well with this kind of challenge.

TerrenaAnimula 05-30-2010 01:47 AM

I kinda keep track...but I'm lazy and never feel like updating my blog with what I read. But it does eventually get posted on there. XD

Do you mind if I add you on GoodReads?

Dream_and_Die 05-30-2010 01:49 AM

Yay goodreads friends! xD

See I just like that the challenge makes me keep track. Otherwise I forget what I read. I don't care if I hit my goal, I just like knowing how much I have done. ^_^

TerrenaAnimula 05-30-2010 01:50 AM

love how they put the book number on it! And that they're are pretty much listed in order! It makes it nice so I don't have to go to my book shelves to figure out the order. XD

Dream_and_Die 05-30-2010 01:53 AM

Yup. xD
Helps out a lot with the series that have 20+ books.

Titania 05-30-2010 01:54 AM

man, i have to get back into reading.
i was plowing through little brother and i just screeched to a halt in the middle at a crappy relationship drama part . ;_;

dreammm, depending on what goes down this year, i might have to think about moving up to jersey and living with you. :3

TerrenaAnimula 05-30-2010 01:55 AM

Yea. I'm currently adding books right now. XD

Although, I should probably go take a shower and hope that it might wake me up a little. So I can focus on the screen. XD

Dream_and_Die 05-30-2010 01:56 AM

@leenie: OH MY HOLY CRAP IS YOU SERIOUS?!? DON'T PLAY WITH ME LIKE THAT!?!

Edit: Yes adding books can be addictive. xD

Chikuma 05-30-2010 01:57 AM

I tend to burn through books and keeping a list of what I read would be a chore. I would like to eventually get an inventory of books I own because I tend to pick up ones I've already bought

TerrenaAnimula 05-30-2010 01:59 AM

I've started just buying books of series I won and that's it. I need my money. Although, I did start buying e-books for my kindle app for my iTouch. I like reading on that because I can read in the dark! But some of the books I wanted aren't e-book yet because the author's publisher decided it shouldn't be an e-book. :/

Chikuma 05-30-2010 02:01 AM

I prefer real books but I also understand why others would like the Kindles and things. I buy most book used and that saves me a lot of money

Dream_and_Die 05-30-2010 02:03 AM

:nods: I like physical books better. Though I'm tempted to get a kindle or a nook because some authors are continuing their series on e-book only and it's frustrating.

Chikuma 05-30-2010 02:04 AM

Yes I hate when they do such things. If you can not afford a kindle or just even prefer real books you loose out. If I was an author I would have them in both forms so that what ever people prefer they can have access to. It seems it would be limiting to only put in out in one form. Then again it pushes people to go buy kindles and such just so they can finish a series.

tirethminet 05-30-2010 02:06 AM

get a noooooook. :B
dude. putting the rest of a series on a separate format should be illegal or something. XD

Dream_and_Die 05-30-2010 02:06 AM

It should be. :nods:
