I know he was still reading them when he was 12 because we bought one after we moved to this apartment. I think he probably started reading them at almost ten. I pre-read at least the begginings of all of the MGs he read just for those reasons.La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724983676382927825.post-9894123392946724222015-02-01T10:44:13.975-05:002015-02-01T10:44:13.975-05:00I've gotten better about remembering to copy m...I've gotten better about remembering to copy my comments before posting (but not usually before I've done it once). It only seems to happen on the work computers, and for the life f me I just don't know why!<br /><br />I just started rereading Redwall because I had originally though I was going to let the 7 year old borrow it as if I wasn't his age when I started reading it, my brother definitely was...and holy cow this series is super violent! I mean I knew there were lots of battles and people died....but yeah...this is definitely too violent for most 7 year olds. On the upside though, it means I'm finally rereading it! I <i>think</i> I own 19 of the 22 books, but I might need to replace some of them (lost, damaged from the many, many rereads).Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724983676382927825.post-29419944447909252132015-01-25T19:37:11.015-05:002015-01-25T19:37:11.015-05:00Blogger has only abracadabraed my posts on other b...Blogger has only abracadabraed my posts on other blogs, but on Friday it poofed one of my own replys on my own blog post! I think blogger doesn't like long posts! Sometimes I think about writing my long responses on my notebook app, and then copy and pasting them. I have read nothing of Holly Black's, yet. I have The Iron Trial, but it is way down on my tbr. If I ever have a moments book peace I will try to get to The Coldest Girl. Omg... Redwall! My son was really into them. I think we must have read twelve of them. We have some in hardcover, so I am sure I will be completing the collection when I have grandchildren. I will be forced to crack my audiobook shell next month when I review Brown Girl Dreaming. My sister has to drive her boys around to a lot of different school things, and wait for them, so that is when she listens to her audiobooks, too. :)La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724983676382927825.post-72867856901315817422015-01-25T19:23:41.339-05:002015-01-25T19:23:41.339-05:00I am planning Black History Month post, or even po...I am planning Black History Month post, or even posts, for next month, so I will be listening to it soon.

I'd tried before, but dear GOD it takes so long to finish them! But now I have a half hour commute both ways (usually longer on the way back because there is NEVER ANY PARKING) a few days a week, so it's completely revolutionized my drives! If only I had a cd player/anything louder than my laptop speakers, I imagine they'd be great for cleaning too. Hopefully this audiobook works for you!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724983676382927825.post-32767587000089683832015-01-24T14:28:54.193-05:002015-01-24T14:28:54.193-05:00NOOOO GOOGLE DELETED MY COMMENT AGAIN!

It's been ages since I saw any of the clips, I need to go watch them again!<br />2. I had no idea that was something people got touchy about! If I read a book and it makes me think of someone, I go ahead and tell them I think it might be something they'd be interested in, and I have a bookshelf on goodreads specifically for friend recs (especially because I'm pretty bad about getting to anything in a timely manner). I guess if people feel like they're being spammed with it, it can make people react that way to anything? I don't know. It's sad :( and now I'm going to be paranoid about recommending things lol<br />3. I LOVE Holly Black! I've read all of her books I think except this one, The Iron Trials, and her Spiderwick series. Speaking of recommending things...have you read The Coldest Girl in Coldtown? I know you stay away from YA vamps, but you might actually like this one. Gah I just realized we aren't goodreads friends! How can I stalk what books you've read!? I'll remedy this momentarily if I can find you. If you read a lot of Holly Black, you'll know she doesn't make her pretty people nice, and her vamps are no different in that one. But, if I'm wrong feel free to smack me!<br />4. Awww the mouse is so cute! I have a soft spot for cute mouse books too. Did you ever read the Redwall series? They pretty much defined my childhood, so I'm all about a good mouse book.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724983676382927825.post-82632792284091268732015-01-20T05:53:41.928-05:002015-01-20T05:53:41.928-05:00Brown Girl Dreaming looks fantastic!

That's so odd. I think things are changing and it's a bit frustrating as it doesn't feel quite as much like a community. It's like we have to be much more careful about what we say. It's almost best to just try to stick with our own people that we have already gotten to know and not really go outside that group cause you don't know how people will act. It's kind of ridiculous. I'm sorry you had that bad experience. I don't even try to chat on twitter anymore really, it's just gotten weird.<br /><br />I'm so curious about The Darkest Part of the Forest!<br />Have a great week!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701325312535440179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724983676382927825.post-27688669028029913692015-01-19T13:39:29.110-05:002015-01-19T13:39:29.110-05:00I don't usually listen to a lot audiobooks but...I don't usually listen to a lot audiobooks but I definitely need to get into it. It's just that they tend to be so pricey and I don't get to the library very often, I suppose I need to suck it up and find some time. I did a post about the state of blogging now, because the very thing you just mentioned. Blogging should not be mean spirited, stressful, or clique oriented. (https://inlibrisveritas.wordpress.com/2015/01/19/reading-ranting-for-the-love-of-blogging/) If you are interested. I need to try to find a copy of Darkest Part.
