Happy Friday April Fool's Day!

[aurora]

What are you reading today? Would you recommend it?

QOTW: Do you ever play pranks for April Fool's Day? Regale us with your best one!

I'm reading Roots by Alex Haley (so far, so good; I haven't gotten that far yet due to a busy week at work) and listening to Stephen King's Bag of Bones. I'm disappointed because I'm only halfway through the latter and it's going to disappear from my phone in 2 days and I can't renew it, so I'm going to have to wait through 11 other listeners before getting to hear how it ends.

QOTW: I am very uncreative and therefore usually don't do anything. Scrolling through the internet, though (for relatively tame and non-wasteful ideas), it could be fun to put your co-workers stapler into a jello mold:

I read Mindy Kaling's Why Not Me? this week. As my screen name indicates, I'm a big fan lol. I liked it, and it was better than her first book.

Still reading Sidharttha, when I'm not reading a trashy romance (most recently, a Diana Palmer, and every time I read one of her books, I want to kick myself because she ticks me off endlessly).

I'm horrible with pranks so I never do them.  But I knew someone who did the "stapler in jello" trick.  However, he's an idiot (a kind idiot, but an idiot) and had no clue about how you make jello.  Nor does he read instructions.  So he mixed it up, but it in a bowl with the stapler, and froze it.  So it basically turned into a melting mess on the person's desk.

Oh, no!

Pro tip: if you don't know how to do something, reading the directions is always a fun place to start.

I'm working on a re-read of A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. My week was crazy busy, so I'm hoping to make more if of dent in it this weekend.

QOTW: I can't think of any pranks I've pulled. I wanted to do the brown Es/ brownies today but didn't have time to make brownies.

I'm reading A Visit from the Goon Squad for book club. I got to go to the library solo the other night and it was heaven! I came home with 4 books for myself and could have grabbed more.

Not typically a prankster myself. A friend announced they were pg with #4 onFB and got a ton of congrats. It's not outside the realm of possibility for them, other than I was pretty sure he had a vasectomy. The brown Es were also really popular in my circle.

I'm re-reading Conrad Allen's George Porter Dillman and Genevieve Masefield mysteries set on classic ocean liners.  I'm on #5, Murder on the Mamora.  It's good, but it's light and fluffy so I'd have to get more information about the person to who I might recommend it and the series.  I know some people aren't into light fluffy mysteries.

QOTW:  No pranks from me.  I despise April Fool's Day.  One day I am going to have to fly from the US to Australia on March 31 so I can skip over the horrid day completely.

I'm reading You by Caroline Kepnes. I love it!! Drew me in on the first page.

I loathe April Fool's Day. It's my least favorite day of the year. I do not find tricks or pranks funny whatsoever.

Just started Sarahs Key

QOTD:  I used to play april fools jokes as a kid, now I stay away, i feel bad

Still working on Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.

QOTW: No, no I do not.
