'Same Time, Same Place'
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."
P-C NOT a fan of Westerfield and Uglies at all...Wanted to push Tally under a bus.
Intriguing. We're finally getting around to "Disturbing Dystopias" for our book salon and I decided to read Uglies (in addition to Fahrenheit 451, since that one is so short).

Ha! I mean, she's definitely no Katniss so far, but I've heard really good things about Westerfeld and the series, so I look forward to coolness.
Damn, that's fast! I thought the street date for Heartless was 7/1!
Occasionally Amazon sends me things early, and I get very excited.
I don't blame you! I know it's awful for author sales tracking, but I get SO HAPPY whenever an ebook releases a day early.
When my sister worked at Borders, they would get books early, of course, and would have to sit on them for the street date...
She was usually extremely rigid about it, but once or twice I bludgeoned her into letting me see a copy early (she wouldn't sell it to me until the street date, but she did slip me a couple of ARC's for an afternoon, and I sucked them down with joy.)
Screw state secrets -- there's nothing more exciting than reading a new book before it hits the streets.
I'm tapping my fingers for the new Jacqueline Carey on Wednesday.
I really like the Uglies series, although I *love* his Midnighters trilogy even more.
Oooh! Amazon just told me that my copy of the next Parasol Protectorate book has shipped!
I have that on hold at the library! Which reminds me...Jilli, it was you who recommended Crocodile on the Sandbank (and the rest of the Amelia Peabody) books in a GCS column, right? Because I'm reading Crocodile on the Sandbank right now and LOVING it. I'm amused at the many, MANY similarities between Amelia Peabody and Alexia Maccon (nee Tarabotti).
Yes, it was me, when a reader was asking me for interesting gothic-flavored books with no supernatural element.
The similarities between Amelia and Alexia are vast. I don't know if anyone has asked Gail Carriger if she ever read the Amelia Peabody series, but I would love to know the answer.

Me, too. I'm really loving it so far.
I didn't like Uglies at all. I didn't continue the series after the first book. The main character was just so blah to me.
I decided not to read Uglies after reading the sample first chapter on Amazon. I do, however, adore Westerfeld's Leviathan series.
I really liked the Uglies series, in part because the action sequences are awesome. Man knows how to keep you on the edge of your hoverboard.
