Congratulations! Kids are definitely exciting! My daughters are 6 and 2 an dim believe I value naps (incredibly rare) above almost all else in my life. Good luck and have fun!

Ryan Good work Kirsty! They'll tell you to sleep when the baby does but most of the time you won't. You'll have more important things to do, like reading.

Congratulations! You can read while feeding the baby (it takes some coordination) but if you're low on sleep, your mind won't absorb anything.

Congratulations Kirsty! (A bit late to the party but I said my congrats on facebook a while back) and Ivy is such a beautiful name :)

You'll be well versed in children's books from here on out!

Was it terribly uncomfortable though? Then again, I guess thrones aren't made for lounging in while you cruise the TV remote.

Haha these are so so true. My husband always tells me I shouldn't buy so many books and I tell him to leave my obsession alone and remember that I could be obsessed with expensive shoes and purses

I used to work for one... we had to shut down due to poor sales :(

I did get a 70% discount though, so most of my wages went straight back to the shop.

Kevin 70% discount!! I thought I was doing well getting 33% off :o. I'd love to work for a nooky, cosy bookshop. Lots of tea, biscuits and comfy chairs...

I guess they kind of did in a way, since they got the majority of their money back :P I had the job during sixth form, it was meant to be money for uni but it went all on books and an online game... whoops.

Kevin I spent over 500 on books in the week up to Christmas alone... None were for presents either!! I must check the system someday and calculate how much I've spent in the shop alone. As good as libraries are there's nothing better than owning that book and sitting it on your shelf!

A fun Fantasy map quiz -



message 432: by Kevin (new)

Kevin I guessed a good few but was able to spot Rothfuss and Sanderson etc. pretty easily. Some of those books I had never heard of at all.

I hadn't heard of a few but got the answer by a process of elimination in some cases.

funny quiz, its been ages since I read some of them, and some I have never touched. Feel quite proud of my 8.

Scott (dodger1379) I was pretty happy with my score of 8 since there were a bunch of questions where I had not read any of the potential answers.
