Hello everyone
I am sorry to say this but I am in a rather agitated mood right about now. I am in the middle of reading a book and I won't mention the title of it but I am getting rather upset at the book. At the moment I am about ready to throw it upside the wall and rip all of its pages out and throw it directly into the trash with yesterday's leftover's.
I hate to say this but when I am reading a book I would like a writer to get to the point without describing everything down to the very detail. I don't care how a wall looks or how a person is dressed. I especially don't care how a stove looks or how a writer will describe what a person is wearing down to the very point of a stiletto high heeled shoe. I am about to scream as I read the book. What is with writers these days ??? I just want to read a book without having to feel like I am reading some lengthy dissertation on a character, story or object in which they are writing about.
My other objection is putting words of another language in a book in which I do NOT speak or a name of a restaurant that I can't pronounce to save any amount of interest in the book that I may have. Why not make it easy for a reader to enjoy a book without making the reader involved feel like they want to rip out their hair at the very root ??????
I would like to write a few words to the writer and tell him or her exactly how I feel ??? I also feel like I would like to take the book right back where I bought it from and demand my money back from the writer instead of from the store in which I bought it.
Get to the point already writers !!!!!!!!!!
Sincerly, this very frustrated reader
Am I WRONG ???????????????

A Wonderful Day....And IKEA
Hello everyone
How is everyone this evening ?? I have to say that I had quite a long but wonderful day. First my folks and I took a trip down to Atlanta to find the IKEA place which we found. Let me tell you that the IKEA place is HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE. Here is the link for it -----> http://www.ikea.com/ . While we there we ended up finding a shelf for our kitchen which my mom and I assembled ourselves. We also got ourselves some towels and we each picked the color we wanted. Its a huge place to go shopping in.
After IKEA we ended up taking a ride to the VARSITY which has the greatest food in the entire world. I ended up having (2) chili cheese dog's and a side of onion rings and a frosted orange which is quite good. My niece's and I and my folks had a wonderful dinner there and me and my youngest niece and my dad got a ice cream cone after dinner. I can tell you that its alway fun to go there and eat. Here is the link for the place ----> http://www.thevarsity.com/ .
We arrived home a few hours ago. So how was your day today ? Did you do any shopping today ?? I hope that you had a wonderful Sunday and I hoped that you all enjoyed your weekend. It is still damp and cool here in my neck of the woods of Riverdale, Georgia. We have been getting some rain for a little while. All in all we enjoyed our weekend. Tomorrow I have to head back to work and hopefully you will have a great week ahead.
Take care everyone !!!

A Wonderful Spectacular Day.....
Hello everyone !!!!!!
How is everyone today ?? I hope you are all well and getting along. I had to come by and share my day with you. I did sleep in late today which was nice. Later in the evening I treated my folks and my nieces out to eat at Ruby Tuesday which was good. I had a petite sirloin which was really really really good. I also had a very tasty Mojito drink with a stick of sugarcane in my drink which was quite good. All of our food was quite good.
The very best part of my day was when we took a ride down to Griffin, Georgia so my folks could go to a store called Bealls Outlet. A few stores down I found a bookstore that I just LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVED !!!!!!!!!!!!! The bookstore was named BOOKLAND which is located at this address --------> 1635 North Expressway in Griffin, Georgia. The telephone number is 770-229-1974. BOOKLAND has every book imaginable under one roof from biographies, science fiction, poetry, fiction, nonfiction, mysteries to self help. I spent the entire time looking from shelf to shelf to rows to rows picking out books that I wanted to purchase. I ended up getting some books that I wanted to read including : "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield, "Step On A Crack" by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge, "The Secret History of The Pink Carnation" by Lauren Willig. I am still reading "Eat Pray Love" which is pretty good. I can't wait to start on my new books. The place was even better than my favorite Barnes and Noble. I think I will have to go there soon and get more books.
So how was your day ? Did it rain any in your neck of the woods ? I do hope that you had just as wonderful a Saturday as I had. I just wanted to let you know that I am getting better and yes I am recovering from my illness quite well. Anywho I just wanted to come by and share my day with you all.
Do enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Just A Note....
Hello everyone
Good evening !!!!!!!! How is everyone ? Today started another week at work for me. The weather in my neck of the woods has been quite wonderful to say the least. It felt like Summertime and it was quite nice. I am working on getting better but it will probably take some time for me.
Anywho...I did finish reading "The Death Dealer" and I have to say that it was a very good book and I highly recommend it. I am about to start reading "The Chocolate Lover's Club" by the writer Carole Matthews. I can't wait to get started reading it. It sounds like my kind of book. I will have to let you know how it is.
How are things in your neck of the woods ?? Are you reading any books lately ??? I would like to know what you are reading these days ????
Take care

A Great Day....
Hello everyone
Good evening !!!!!!! I had a really great day today. I got out of the house today which I haven't done since I have been sick. It was really nice outside in my neck of the woods. The weather was quite nice and I enjoyed it.
My folks and I and my niece's went to Target where I picked up (2) new books titled "The Chocolate Lover's Club" by Carole Matthews and "Very Valentine" by Adriana Trigiani. At the moment I am still reading "The Death Dealer".
The Death Dealer is about a woman named Genevieve O'Brien who hires a Private Investigator named Joe Connolly to investigate the murder of Thorne Bigelow who is a member of "The Ravens" which is a group of the New York Poe Society. The book is centered around a serial killer who is fixated on Edgar Allan Poe who is stalking New York City. Gen's mother is also a member of The Ravens. Joe is initially reluctant to take the case. However because of Gen he takes the case and his psychic ability comes in handy when he starts checking out The Ravens whose numbers are dwindling fast.
Anywho....after Target I treated my family to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant called "La Parrilla" which is really good. I had a chicken quesadilla with a side of avocado's. After dinner I ordered a Kaluha sopapilla which consisted of sopapilla's drenched with Kaluha liquor and topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream which was really good.
I do have to tell you that earlier today my mother and I watched the movie "Changeling" with Angelina Jolie which I and my mother enjoyed. The movie was quite good from start to finish. I have to recommend this movie as a must see movie. I also think that John Malkovich deserves an award for his performance in the movie. I didn't think I was going to like it but I did enjoy the movie. I think that it was sad but well worth watching.
So how was your day my dear world ?? I do hope that all was well with you. Did you do any shopping today ?? Keep me posted

I'm Here....
Hello everyone
Good evening. I wanted to come by and let you know that I am here. I am sick once again with some swelling in my back due to muscle spasms that have made me ill with pain in my lower back. However I am trying to get better.
Anywho...I am here. I have to tell you that I am still reading a few books that have been quite interesting. I finished reading "Run For Your Life" by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge which was a very very interesting and great book. I highly recommend this book as a must read. At the moment I am reading "The Death Dealer" by the writer Heather Graham. So far it is pretty good.
So my dear world how are things with you all. I do hope that things are well with you. The weather here in Atlanta, Georgia has been rather nice. I have been resting at home and so far I am working on getting some rest. I do hope that you will keep me posted on how things are in your part of the world.
Good-night !!!!!!!!!
