Comment: Cool recipes, thank you very much, will probably try out that meatloaf soon!

Comment: Hi Thea, I've received Neenarneenar's new journal. It's really pretty. I'll add my recipes and send it back to you XD haha

Comment: Thanks for your great recommendations! I don't bake much, but I know several people in my family who would love the cake, so I might try it. But I really need to clean my oven, and my dog would love those cookies, so I'm likely to try those two really soon! Thanks so much again! This swap was, as you said, time consuming (and I didn't finish some that I was trying in time for the swap), but it was really fun and educational, too!

Comment: I've thought about reading The Help as the movie is very good. I also have The Giver on my TBR as the movie is coming out later this year and I've heard it was the "origin" of all the dystopian landslide of popularity. thanks!

Comment: hah! I have a hard time liking most of King's work as well, but I did enjoy reading The Shining. it's probably the only one I like of his so far. Glad I'm not the only one out there! :) thanks!

Comment: thanks so sharing your reading log with me; that's a lot of books! I like that you're not afraid to say you hated some of the books!

Comment: Thank you for the list - we have a couple in common. Thanks for the interesting recommendations.

Comment: Wonderful photos and descriptions! I bookmarked the pork and shrimp mini burgers recipe and the Ferrero Rocher cake recipe. Sorry for the late rating!

Comment: Sorry for my late rating! I love your answers and am happy to meet another fellow library lover ! How can people live without a library? To me its my 2nd living room :-) I tend to judge the book by the cover oo ;-) And YES, I want your list.... Thanks !

Comment: Thank you for the ATC! Very creative to use the paint chips. I may have to borrow that idea... ;)

Comment: Round is a shape...I know it well ha ha! Last time I was flat as a board I was 35 and people thought I was dying! I actually recognized some of the songs in your list. Thank you for the positive zine.

Comment: thanks for the email! sorry this is a bit late in rating, but I wanted to spend some time and personally respond! 1) yay for goodreads! I don't know how I organized my books before that site! :D 2) The Glass Castle is on my TBR list, glad you liked it then! 3) Water for Elephants was a book I didn't expect to like either, but did!

Comment: You think The Longings of Wayward Girls is confusing, try One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. There are five or six women with the same name, LOL! Nice survey! A heart for you.

Comment: Beautiful and interesting ATCs. Thanks so much.

Comment: Thanks for your lovely ATC's.

Comment: Thanks for resending and for such well-thought-out answers! :)

Comment: Sugar Coma Came and Went! Thank You!!!

Comment: I loved reading your email answers! It took me a day to find time to sit down and actually read them all. I haven't read "the body" by Stephen King but read the "apt Pupil" and it was an eerie one! "Water for Elephants" was an unexpected gem for me too, and the movie was pretty great too, minus the guy from twilight being in it, he didn't look how he did in my head when I read it. And I chose Voldemort as my favorite billion because I love that he was brought up in later books about his childhood and younger years, but Snape is a good one, too, he's sort of the secretly good guy but mostly awful so makes a great villian! Thanks for sharing!

Comment: No snow falling but below freezing overnight & there's piles of snow at the end of my driveway that have not melted.

Comment: helloo, thanks for the red envelope, chinese sticker and teas, lol...since u're not chinese maybe u dont know that fake chinese paper money shouldn't be sent to someone as a gift, lol. in our tradition, those papers, we usually burned it in front of dead families in their graves for buried ceremony. i told u my mom got shocked and i'm sorry i'd to tell u those papers are burned becoz alive people can't keep it.
