I recently uploaded sooooo many books to PBS -- I have like 165 in my list now -- but have only gotten requests for 5 of them so far. Take my books! Please! At this point I should just donate some of them (the ones that have been in the system awhile already and haven't been requested) to the library or Good Will because they're taking up so much space. But I love the idea of being there for someone who might be looking for that ONE book they can't find anywhere, who really, really wants it. (Because I love when I find books I want, like that.)
Here is the list of all the books on my PBS bookshelf. If any of you guys want any of them, let me know, I'll ship to you. I just want a happy home for them. You can choose more than one. Just don't, you know, pick all 165. :)) That'd be a PITA to mail. Leave me a comment with your address and the titles you want, or email me (Gmail, sareaokelani). Or, of course, you can just join PBS and do it that way, if you prefer that for whatever reason.

For the first time ever, I received an official notice about a sex offender living in the area. O.o That totally creeps me out. Thank goodness I don't have kids.

I've been on a Julia Quinn kick, which has now been deflated. I read The Lost Duke of Wyndham and was SO DISAPPOINTED with the resolution. Plus, I lost interest in the main characters about halfway through the book. I admit from the outset that I was more interested in the second book of the 'series' (I think there's only the two), but now, knowing the resolution from the first book, I've lost some of that interest too. Ugh, and it seemed so promising. I'll probably go back into my anti-romance novel shell now.

I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow. Looking forward to that very much.

I always complain about businesses and what not whenever I feel I've been wronged, so I feel it only fair to give praise where it's due. Thus, I give props to Allstate, where I've had my car/home insurance for the last 3 years or so. Great customer service (at least, when I call my local agent), with great plans at great rates. YMMV, of course, but for example, my car insurance premium with them is very competitive price wise with other places, but with Allstate I have their platinum plan, which means I also get accident forgiveness (if I'm involved in an at-fault accident, it won't affect my premium), a safe driving bonus check every 6 months (5% of my premium), and a deductible that gets lowered every 12 months that's accident free.

TV Show Meme, Day 23 - Most annoying character: Kennedy, BtVS
I doubt many people will argue with me on this one. Kennedy was such a mistake. I mean, there are characters I love to hate, and then there are characters I just hate. Kennedy fit into the latter category. I don't know if it was the actress or the character. She might have been a little more tolerable if she hadn't been Willow's love interest. It was just TOO SOON after Tara, imho. So that, plus the fact that she was really annoying and abrasive, just made her reviled. Season 7 was having a hard enough time as it was without the introduction of such a universally despised character. (Though on rewatch, I actually like S7 a lot.) Sorry Kennedy, you weren't likeable and also served very little plot purpose.
