'Never Leave Me'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
So good, in fact, that I'm almost sad this is the one that will be associated with the pseudonym, rather than the perfectly fun but not nearly as mindblowing Toby Daye books.
Ha. Yeah. The Toby books will be going on for longer, though, so there's that. I hope they become more mindblowing.
Did people here say they had a hard time getting into Changeless? Because I did. I'm finally past the halfway point (and, uh, it's pretty obvious that Alexia is pregnant, right? [DON'T ANSWER THAT]), and I'm finally engrossed in it. But I can't put my finger on what made it so hard to get into this time.
Which is not to say that I won't read Blameless, because I will.
(Like a total geek, I have a list of what books are coming out when: Mockingjay in August, Blameless and the new Skulduggery Pleasant in September, and Behemoth [Scott Westerfeld's sequel to Leviathan] in October. And I am not a patient woman.)
But I can't put my finger on what made it so hard to get into this time.
I had the opposite experience. I got into it much faster than I got into Soulless since it went right into the plot.
It's possible that since I tried to start it when I was in the middle of oh-crap-my-antidepressant-isn't-working that I just couldn't concentrate.
I will have to pick up The Hunger Games sometimes soon, as I hear so much good about it.

Yes! I was all set to buy it for my niece's birthday and was saddened to learn that she had read them both already.
I was trying to explain the premise of Hunger Games to my mom and she looked at me funny and said "and you read this for FUN?". Apparently I did not convince her that postapocalyptic struggle to survive against people trying to kill you is entertaining?

And, don't forget, it's televised!
May the odds be ever in your favor!
I finished Changeless, and I was right about what I guessed, although I didn't see the twist coming afterward. Interesting.
Also -- oh, IVY.

IIIEEEEE I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER! And good lord Conal better stop being a jerk.
