Not sure mine has a deeper meaning other than being the drink that sustains life itself. I chose it because I love coffee......A LOT!

So, how's 'bout you and your avatar?

Thanks readsalot for the good idea.]]>

What scares you the most... Thu, 02 Jan 2020 16:40:07 +0000 http://www.bookandreader.com/threads/what-scares-you-the-most.20798/ http://www.bookandreader.com/threads/what-scares-you-the-most.20798/ invalid@example.com (Marcel Admiraal) Marcel Admiraal
I was just wondering, with all the horror books in the world based on so many fears and random scary stuff, what is it that scares us the most?

Is it clowns, little girls, spiders, being buried alive, dead people coming back to life, dying, never dying, seeing dead people, some dead guy with knives on his fingers, etc.
Or are they all the base fears that stem from when we were just living in caves?

As you can see, the choice is myriad.

Let's see what we can come up with,...

I am looking for individuals who obviously like to read, and can write quality reviews in exchange for free books. I expect reviews in 3-4 weeks, and you will have a variety of books to choose from.

You are free to keep the books you review, there is no other compensation. Please e-mail lovetowrite83 (at) gmail (dot) com with a writing sample, preferably a sample book review.]]>

I'm moving a library of 3,500 books across the country. We have professionals movers to help load the truck, and I'm only using small boxes, 12 x 12 x 12, 16 x 14 x 10, 18 x 12 x 10, Different small sizes so they don't get heavy and they fit my oversized books. But I'm trying to guesstimate the number of boxes it would need. If anybody has any helpful advice, it would be appreciated.

Thanks!]]>
