I read that some time ago. I really like it. The whole series is a fun read."
Yeah, it's pretty funny so far. Very pithy in wit.

Soulless by Gail Carriger

enjoy reading The Book Thief! the Bartimaeus Tri..."

Yes! So funny! I keep trying to convince people of its hilarity, but it's just not the same unless you read it. The footnotes make it!

Hey guys! I just thought I'd share some exciting news from my neck of the woods. I finally started my very own book blog for all of my literary adventures! Go check it out and tell me what you think!

It looks like a creepy book, so the month of Halloween seemed fitting :)

I have that book (Miss. Peregrine's) sitting on my bookshelf. Can't decide if I should wait until October to read it :)

The Bartimaeus Trilogy!! Ah, I love that one! And the Time Quartet! I just got the Book Thief the other day, can't wait to start it!

I'm more of a chick with bow and arrow sorta girl (waaaaaay before Katniss breathed life) and I don't think I can remember the very first fantasy book I read. That's the genre I grew up with. Narnia might be the first. I loved Susan and her archery (although her fate still makes me angry enough to give a stern talking to to C.S. Lewis). Strong female main characters in fantasy novels are probably what made me such a bookworm. I was a girl who had an older brother and hung out with a bunch of dirty boys growing up, so I was always being challenged for being a girl. My real life favorite kick-arse woman is Joan of Arc.

And if someone so much as looks like they're about to dog ear my pages, their borrowing privileges are immediately revoked lol! Spending 2 years as a third grade teacher and having a classroom library that consisted in only my personally bought books or books I grew up with was a near-death experience for me. I lost so many good covers and whole books... :(
