I just finished The Long Earth (excellent read!) yesterday and now I need to start my next one. I have taken to reading on my phone (e-books) while walking from my car to the office in the morning since it's a few blocks. These days it tends to be one of my longest dedicated reading times since I am so busy otherwise.

What book do you have right now? Pardon if you already answered in earlier comments. I will refer you to my lack of time reference earlier :)

I would love the new Neil Gaiman book. You ALL still have Zoidberg!

grown assman, living with my parents :(

cheer me up scotty!

Finished re-reading Neverwhere and decided to read Ocean At The End Of The Lane which somehow I never read before.

My mom's been gone for 14 years in Novemeber. I had a great relationship with my mom. However, she loved her pain pills and her blood disease and liver disease caused her great pain, which, apparently, the doctors thought they could control with more pain pills. My mom died at 38 years old due to a heart attack. There were no drugs in her system when she died. Her heart finally gave out from too much...I guess. And as sad as I was for the first few years, over the past few, I have grown incredibly angry with her. For loving her drugs so much. I honestly think that if she had just stopped doing the drugs, she might still be alive today. And while I do believe my life is better/turned out better than it would have had she still been alive...I am so fucking angry about it that when I think about it my heart beats hard out of my chest and I can't breathe. When I think about that anger it breaks my heart. Because I had a great relationship with her, and as an adult who is in control of my emotions, I should be able to forgive her and love her again. But...the anger. :-(

That being said, my mom's aunt and my mom's mom raised me since I was 14 all the way until recently when I moved out on my own. I am 28 now and I feel as though I have 3 moms. My great-auntie is a saint. Absolutely the most caring individual ever. She took care of my mom when she was around 14, and is now taking care of her granddaughter(her son's daughter) on the weekends. She deserves the world, and I hope one day I can give back to her as she's given to me.

Hmm, time to do the dreaded task of checking my statement cringe

Let's see here...for me, I guess it's not a bank card either. Apparently rent and pizza is what I use mine for (technically the rent is deducted from the bank account my card is on, I don't swipe the card itself). Very sad seeing how much little money I have or spend on fun stuff (I even get heartburn from pizza, I should lay off it..heartburn isn't fun).

I need to stop eating out and start focusing on eating real food...but when you live half a block from a pizza place and are super duper lazy like myself, that's easier said than done! I also live alone so I don't want to cook something and have tons of leftovers (I don't fare well with leftovers) and cooking for one is tricky if it isn't, like, pasta (for me, anyway).

Woe is me, being in my early 20s! Here's something under $10 from my wishlist that will make me translucent and not shiny (that's how makeup works, right?)

edit: that item is an add-on and I have no clue what that means so here's a book that would rule for my Kindle

I don't have specific music I listen to while I write, but I definitely have to have some background noise whether it be music or TV or whatever. I do not have a totem. I use my netbook, and I just use Microsoft Word. I am definitely a pantser and always have been. I just go where the story takes me. I have not actually completed any of my books yet, but I have one in progress, and several ideas.

I also have written many songs, which I also am a total pantser in that regard too. However, I handwrite those and just write on whatever is available at the time.

I don't specifically have any writing related stuff like paper or pens or anything, but books and music both inspire my writing. So, take your pick :-).

That is so generous of you! Happy birthday!

Here is a book from my list.

Have a good one!

[Neil Gaiman's most recent novel] (http://www.amazon.com/Ocean-End-Lane-Novel-ebook/dp/B009NFHF0Q/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid=) would be lovely, and is certainly dark. The kindle edition is 7.99.

The book I am currently most excited about is probably The Ocean at the end of the lane Because I have never read anything by Neil Gaiman that I did not love. Unfortunately, it's not actually released yet , so probably doesn't count. Second choice would be January First It is a memoir from a man raising a young daughter with early onset schizophrenia. I have a 3 year old Niece whom I adore, but she is coming from a long line of paranoid schizophrenics on her mother's side (her mother included) and a host of other psychiatric disorders on my side of the family... and While I hope she manages to escape her genetics, I worry... I don't know how I expect reading the book to help the situation or anything.. but maybe I could just gain better insight and understanding as to how the mind works and the troubles faced by someone in such a situation and be better at helping and dealing should I have to.


I know you said "favorite" and neither of these could realistically BE my "favorite" as Ive never read them, but I already own my favorites :P p.s. my name is Jynn

This would be an amazing read, methinks. Gotta love Neil.

Thank you for the contest, and thanks to your dad as well!

EDIT: Can't spell pecksniffian correctly, silly me. :P
