I don't see "I'll wait and have more instant gratification later" being a really effective way to change behavior
Works for me, if I get a bigger bang. A really obviously bigger bang. I'm simplistic that way.
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'm reading Water for Elephants, and I keep calling it Like Water for Elephants. Oops.
Was there a consensus on A Discovery of Witches? My mom has a copy I can borrow, but I seem to remember some readers here didn't like it.

I did the same thing when I was reading it. Do you like it?

I only read the kindle sample, but I hated what I read of it.
I do like it, sj! It's really straightforward, although I do like old!Jacob's crankiness. I'm only ... 27% through, according to the Kindle, but it's entertaining.

I really wish they had done more with the old!Jacob character in the movie. He is so entertaining in the book. I loved loved loved the book.
I found the rest of the Skulduggery Pleasant books (4-6, that's it, right?)
Yup, so far. SHIT GETS REAL. Okay, real-er.
Man, shit's been pretty real all along. But that's a big part of what I like about it, so more real-er is more better. Or something.
Teppy!
I was so disappointed today -- I caved and ordered a used copy of the next Luxe book. And UPS came and had what looked like a book for me -- and it was a different book I won in a blogger contest. Argh.
I didn't love Discovery of Witches.
My mom's going to read A Discovery of Witches first, so maybe I'll wait and see what she thinks. She's pretty new to the paranormal stuff, but she's eating it up like crazy. She's on the third book of Libba Bray's series, and adoring it.
