I started Nicholas Nickleby way back last year… Now I only have 10 chapters or so left. I am such a slow reader! Oh, well I may not read fast, but I still enjoy it.

How I did it: Que-tip end soaked in apple cider vinegar tapped in place on wart each night for a few weeks. It turned black and went away eventually. However, I know have this small light red scar where the wart was that just won't go away....*sigh* well...at least I don't have the wart anymore. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I have loved the book Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens (don't laugh, Dicken's is quite good really) since I was about 9 and finally last year I just decided to make it officially my favorite book. Read how I did it…
How I did it: By reading whenever I could for about a year. I got through the first book more quickly than the others because I had listened to it in audio format a lot when I was younger and knew the plot.The first book is my favorite, the second book my least favorite of the three (not that I don't like it) and the third book my second favorite.The idea of deamons in wonderful. Also love all the characters. :-) Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
