Haha I haven't thought of darkwing duck in ages!!!! Thanks for that :)

On to the book, I am so excited that we are doing the second book in a series. I really like the first one, it grossed me out at times while scaring the bejesus out of me. I might have to wait till middle of the month to buy it since I've spent all my extra money already on Christmas gifts.

Mary (med401) | 234 comments There is a podcast. I know that's not your first choice but it's there if you want to try it. I've listened to the whole first two(out of 27). I just don't seem to have time to do everything I want to right now.

I forgot to add that the third book in the trilogy, Pandemic, is out next year. I think.

sorry my internet has been out at home. I say we extend this to cover January too?

yay or nay please! :)


message 7: by Mary (new)

Mary (med401) | 234 comments Yes, please. I've made no progress on any reading most of the month. And, of course, I just got flooded with library reserves.

I say yes as well. I haven't had a chance to start with but I'm waiting to buy it.

Katt_goddess | 269 comments I tried replying yesterday but the site seemed to hate me.

I second [or third or whatever] the suggestion. I have the book and it's hanging out over here looking all sad and wanting to be read but I've fallen into a manga pit making the year's reading deadline and haven't been able to start this one yet.

then it's settled, January is the same book, thank goodness I am not the only one who got bogged down in December!

Yeah December was a weird month for reading. But now I got the joy of gift cards. So I can get what books I want. Yay!

message 13: by Dian, Crazy Nooooob Mod! :D (new)

Dian | 440 comments Mod

Yay, finally got it ordered. Paid a penny + 2.99 shipping and handling. Even I can afford that. lol
Used of course but I don't care. :)

That's great! I paid kindle price cause I got a big nifty gift card to Amazon so I downloaded it. Finally started it too.

Well it is getting interesting.
Oddly I find this one less disturbing than the first book. Anyone else?


message 17: by Mary (new)

Mary (med401) | 234 comments I agree. I find it more mundane somehow. That's not to say I don't like it and I have hopes it will get more interesting as I progress. I'm only about to start the fourth section of the podbook.

I do wonder if Sigler threw in the relationship between Margaret and the agent(blanking on his name) to try to add some spice and dimension to the book. We already know about the triangles and we need something to keep our minds busy until he pulls the next big reveal. Actually, I couldn't care less about Margaret's sex life. But I don't mind it either, it's just a little white noise in the background of the book.

Nora aka Diva (DuctTapeDiva) | 391 comments Mod
I'm with you, I just don't care about Margaret's personal life, it doesn't bother me but it doesn't interest me either.

Well I admit it got kinda dreary & boring in places but the last few chapters made up for that imnsho.
