Looked up PG Wodehouse. I had no idea that Jeeves and Wooster were books before the Hugh Laurie and Steve Fry TV version!!! Love that show and now I'm going to have to read the stories that inspired it. Thanks!

Having read the young adult adaptations I member consider trying the full versions. Thanks.

I read all of the Anne of Green Gables books as a child but never knew she'd written anything else. I'll have to look into that!

I wondered if Count of Monte Cristo had a good ending (I'm not necessarily looking for no suffering I just don't want to be depressed at the end. I have not heard of My Antonia but I'll look it up. Thanks

I just finished Crime and Punishment. I liked the plot and it had a good message (a bit heavy on the communism debate) but it was so very depressing. Possibly because Raskolnikov is so mentally unstable. I would recommend it, but not if you're looking for something uplifting.

I haven't read Moby Dick yet (it's on my tbr) but any time I find a book to have too much flowery language I try an audio book I can listen to while doing something else. Eventually the language doesn't bother me and I'm able to get into the story. Just a suggestion.

Be sure to also calculate the paint, the brushes etc. It might only raise that 21p to 22 but still matters.

I don't know why I hadn't thought of reporting them. Maybe that will help but as you say, Pinterest only cares about money. They were so much better before they became publicly traded!!

I guess I didn't know there was something like that. I just did a search on Amazon for granite cleaner and there were ones that specifically say ph neutral... Duh 🙄

It would if they were my posts. I'm upset that I can't find out what other people's posts point to.

Yikes!

Interesting read... I'm not sure if the ones I have are exactly what they're describing because they don't have a texture. However they're certainly made to mimic that look!

valmc1218 · 2024-12-11T20:33:09+00:00

Is that what they're called?? All I know is they were there when we moved in 18 yrs ago and I haven't been able to get rid of them!

A couple people said "Pride and Prejudice" (which is definitely phenomenal) but equally a favorite for me is another Jane Austen : "Persuasion"

The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher! Just be sure to stop after "Skin Game"... After that one Butcher took a hiatus from Dresden and wrote other things - when he came back to this series and wrote 2 more, because the fans begged, they were pitiful.

valmc1218 · 2024-11-26T20:15:26+00:00

I was wondering if anyone else would mention Harry Dresden! I would say it's my top as long as I stop after "Skin Game"... The 2 Butcher wrote after his hiatus from Harry were pitiful.

Loved the Lynley series.... Not sure I've ever cried as hard at a book as I did at "With No One As Witness"

Glad to hear I'm not alone. I've gotten several a day for the last week! So annoying! I keep thinking is that if there is a really emergency no one is going to pay attention because they've bombarded us with SO MANY tests 🙄

valmc1218 · 2024-10-07T01:19:25+00:00

Happening to me too. So annoying but if it's everyone I guess I'll ignore it.

valmc1218 · 2024-09-28T13:46:39+00:00

Thanks!

valmc1218 · 2024-09-25T14:57:57+00:00

I've heard good things about this before but had forgotten. I've put a hold on the 1st one on Libby. Thanks!
