HAHAHAHAHA. mine is an evil laugh.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

“Not dead yet!”
My dream: to one day inspire that kind of impassioned reaction.
I won't, however, be holding my breath.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I figure I would have heard about something that big
But this way is so much more fun, with the not knowing, and the glayvin.

Because books.
Crap, I think P-C is about 20 pages ahead of me now. Must catch up!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My dream: to one day inspire that kind of impassioned reaction.
All you have to do is write a book series about a boy wizard living in a dystopian society who is chosen to participate in a televised deathmatch against vampires and werewolves, possibly also zombies. And he falls in tragic love with a vampire, werewolf, or possibly zombie.

Oh, I completely agree.

Hurry up, Amy! I'm going to finish today so I can start Mockingjay tomorrow while my car gets an oil change.

But do they have to sparkle?
Also? I'm doomed.

Sparkling is optional.

I know, Barb. I have to admit that I am simultaneously envious and kind of annoyed, because for all the Collins has all these ideas and this fantastic narrative drive, I find her prose kind of clunky and her world-building kind of crappy. But I wish to jebuslug I knew how to write something that people would just not put down.
Argh.
Oh BTW, I got Stars and it looks lovely! I'm going to give it to my niece when she gets home from college tomorrow, she'll be thrilled (she loved your first two books).

Yeah, exactly. I'll admit, too, I'm feeling overly sensitive because I also received my first DNF review yesterday, although to the reader's credit, she said it was more because it wasn't her kind of book and she would have known that had she read the back cover (?!?) and at least she didn't ding me with a single star review or anything.
Still, rational as one can be about these things, it still stings.
But, on the upside, yay for buying Stars and I hope your niece likes it as much as the first two!
Amy - Dec 10, 2010 7:55:31 am PST #13203 of 28278
Because books.
What is a DNF review?
