I really want to get myself a Samsung tablet Nook. But I have to hold off until I've bought all the Christmas presents.

Eastriel 11-06-2016 07:50 AM

Speaking of games I've just started playing ff7 :) the graphics are shocking it's adorkable, it's amazing the jump between ff7 and 8 :)

As for Christmas due to being a penniless ho all my gifts are upcycled or handmade this year :)

`Kitami 11-06-2016 04:48 PM

I'm very gunshy of tablets. I've never used one.

I've never played ff7. ;-;

I have no money for Christmas and am also making things! -highfive-
Except I'm getting coloring books and books for my nieces and nephews. But those were basically free.

TaiyoTsuki 11-07-2016 02:17 AM

The only Christmas gift I still need to get is for my mom. I'm torn between a couple of statuettes [gonk].

`Kitami 11-07-2016 06:13 AM

Are they similar? Or two totally different ones?

Eastriel 11-07-2016 11:17 AM

I'm not enjoying ff7 too much. But I'm going to strive through.

TaiyoTsuki 11-08-2016 08:19 PM

@ Kit: They're similar-ish. They're both statuettes that involve dragons and coffee, and they're both really cute and really fitting for my mom, as she loves dragons and I'm pretty sure she subsists on coffee X'D

I'm still reading Simon R. Green's From a Drood to a Kill, but I just today picked up Devil Wears Prada. I can't wait to dive into it!

But.

In the meantime, I'm getting ready to move in the next couple months. I started packing up all my books, and my shelves are looking so forlorn without the books. [cry]

And I need more boxes.

Shad what's it about? I started a super good fantasy series The Stormlight Archive, but I've been waiting on the 2nd book at the library for 4 weeks now and I'm still like 3rd in line. [cry]

well some guy was found in a Oozak's pond on groundhog day.. that's about as far as I've gotten. the first page was like "yeah ! I can read this" and than there was a bunch of stuff that's dry to me about names and relationships and such. than some action, and more dry stuff. it's a real slow opener. I'm on chapter 5 now though, so maybe something will start picking up soon.

Taiyo:: Ah! I always get my mom-in-law a dragon for like every holiday. She had a collection ages ago, but long-story-short her ex sucks and she lost it, so we're trying to start it again. I'm drawing her one this year though. [yes]
I could drink coffee all day if I wasn't a coffee-snob who won't drink cheap coffee. [sweat] [drool]

Shad:: I get annoyed with books like that. Some of them I've read have been worth it though. Like the A Song of Ice and Fire series I dearly love, but I felt like Game of Thrones was super slow starting the first time I read it.
I hope it picks up for you.

TaiyoTsuki 11-09-2016 08:42 PM

If you want to make sure Mom likes you, get her either dragons, wolves, or coffee. Or something that involves all three X'D

`Kitami 11-10-2016 01:56 AM

My mom used to like figurines of pigs in clothes.
We had magnets of pigs in different kinds of swim suits.
My mom's a strange creature. [lol]

Connielass 11-10-2016 02:23 AM

My mom is the hardest person to shop for. I have absolutely NO idea what to get her for Christmas.

Eastriel 11-10-2016 09:14 AM

Connie - what does she like?

Shadami 11-10-2016 12:35 PM

Well I'm hoping it picks up. These old old old books usually do once you get past the blah blah explanations. I wish they had written explanations into the story as it went along instead of trying to drop all the names in at once. >.> I plan to mix it all up within my stories like hidden fact bubbles that don't distract fromt he flow. i'm seriously about to give up put it down and re read tamora pierce again though..all of them...a gain.. for like the upteenth time. xD

Eastriel 11-10-2016 03:50 PM

When I was covering a lesson today I read half of of mice and men.

Shadami 11-11-2016 04:36 PM

I read the entirety of Alanna the first adventure yesterday >.<

Eastriel 11-11-2016 06:02 PM

Nice one shadami

Shadami 11-11-2016 07:18 PM

I loooove tamora pierce

Eastriel 11-11-2016 07:41 PM

Not read any of their works ^^

`Kitami 11-11-2016 09:05 PM

I think I recognize the name...

zigbigadorlube 11-12-2016 12:36 AM

I read one of her books but I wasn't a huge fan.

Eastriel 11-12-2016 11:21 AM

I love how books can be influential to some and detestable to others ^^

`Kitami 11-13-2016 06:20 PM

Yeah, they're like music that way. [lol]

Eastriel 11-13-2016 06:35 PM

Definitely kitami!
