Not everyone is going to like the same things and there is nothing wrong with that. I am glad it didn't escalate into anything. That is something. <br /><br />Haha!

I just said I was happy they enjoyed it and moved on. Luckily it didn't escalate into anything.<br /><br />I don't think I want to know what my pets think lol My cat is so demanding and one of my dogs is way smarter than me and would porbably be judgy lol<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fwiwreviews.net/" rel="nofollow">Karen @For What It's Worth</a><br /><br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-25539388512432690562017-03-28T12:09:04.439-07:002017-03-28T12:09:04.439-07:00Maria - Too many new books on top of my already ov...Maria - Too many new books on top of my already overflowing unread book stacks. LOL. It's at least true I will likely never run out of reading material. :-)<br /><br />I had almost bought White Rage in hardback at B&N but the price tag for such a slender book gave me pause, and I decided it wasn't worth it. I'm glad I was able to get an e-copy on sale. I don't like to pay much for e-books either. <br /><br />The tea party set up was beautiful. It was so well done. The girls enjoyed it. Mine didn't want any of the sandwiches the moms and I had made--no, she just wanted the pastries and dessert. Sad to say, I kind of agreed with her. LOL <br /><br />Mouse was very happy the movie theater staff were able to return her book. We should probably write them a thank you note . . .<br /><br />I think there is a way to disagree without being rude or mean, and some people just take it too far. I've heard of that happening a lot with YA books, unfortunately.<br /><br />I'm sorry you were recently attacked on someone else's blog. But I am glad the blog owner was able to jump in right away. <br /><br />I would bring my cats to work if I was allowed. :-) The love for each other is definitely mutual. <3<br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Maria.

AWESOME, Wendy!! I know ...OMG, what a book haul!!!! AWESOME, Wendy!! I know the feeling of buying too many books, lol. Sometimes we just get carried away!<br /><br />Man, I wish I had known about this sale, though. I'm especially interested in "White Rage". I just looked it up on Amazon, and the hardcover is now priced at $12.99. The Kindle price is $10.63. I REFUSE to pay that much for a simple download. Of course, I can get the print book used, but the lowest price is $10.92, for a book in "Like New" condition. Maybe I'll get this copy. This book is VERY relevant to the current political atmosphere. I MUST make it a point to read it! Thanks for featuring it!<br /><br />I'm also very interested in Adichie's book, as well as Jemisin's. I will check out the others, too. OMG....SO MANY great books to read.....And Time is not my friend.... Woe is me!!!!! :(<br /><br />It sure looks like you all had a lot of fun at that tea party! The pictures are BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE those tea sets!<br /><br />I'm glad that the movie theater staff were able to retrieve Mouse's book! They went over and above in their efforts to get it for her, too. YAAAAY for Mouse!!! <3 <br /><br />I very much agree with your thoughts on the BBH question. I sure haven't seen any negative comments on other blogs, either. From my experience so far, I can say that book bloggers tend to be very respectful and friendly, as you yourself have pointed out. Like you, I welcome different viewpoints and opinions, as long as they remain courteous. I do not tolerate ANY rudeness. Nor do I tolerate vulgar language. Some bloggers I have visited in the past liberally sprinkle their blog posts with "the F bomb", which is something that makes me CRINGE. Needless to say, I only visited them the one time. I totally avoid such blogs.<br /><br />Recently, I was the recipient of an unexpected, and unfair, criticism -- which was more of a personal attack -- from a commenter on a blog I visit regularly. The blog owner, however, took control immediately, and deleted the comment. I had refrained from posting a rebuttal to the person's comment, as I sure didn't want to start a flame war on someone else's blog. I greatly appreciated that blogger's swift action!<br /><br />Your "5 Things on Sunday" post for this week is so adorable! It's obvious that your kitties LOVE you!! The 5 things are super cute and funny!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your bookish and non-bookish "mews", Wendy!! And thanks so much for visiting my blog and leaving such a lovely comment on my BBH post!! Hope you and your family are having a lovely week!! <3 <3 :) :)<br /><br />Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-52011046060207554132017-03-28T01:38:19.869-07:002017-03-28T01:38:19.869-07:00I borrowed The Sleepwalker a while back but have t...I borrowed The Sleepwalker a while back but have to return it because of the due date (Well, I've to confess I'd borrowed too many, haha).

I'm jealous that you've seen "Beauty and the Beast" twice! I really want to see it, but it hasn't happened yet. Fingers crossed that we'll be able to go this week. The tea party looked fun!
