"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

Oh, and speaking of books, I put Fang on hold at the library like 3 months ago, and they just NOW sent me a notification that it's available and on hold.
But *sigh* I already know the spoilers. And besides, I'm trying to be more careful of what I watch and read....so I don't think I'll actually read it.
You won't really miss all that much, and you'll be a lot less disturbed than several thousand other fangirls..

actually, I'm reading it now. It's...okay. Not a fan of teens making out, but at least there's an actual story going on too. And I do like these books for the most part.
While at the California former prison island Alcatraz last week, Jolene Babyak, an author and associate warden's daughter, was signing books, and we got one. I just finished Breaking the Rock, her story of how several prisoners broke out of the maximum security prison. Though sometimes wrought with more biographical details than I cared for, it was overall a fascinating read! Prisoners drilled through the porous concrete, constructed a raft, paddle, and life jackets, and used decoy heads to gain more time. The audio walking on the island was also fantastic. I actually thought of Odyssey since, in addition to narration, some incidents were dramatized.
The Seeker by Ann H. Gabhart. I loved the first one and this is the third book in the series/trilogy. I skipped the second one because this one takes place in 1861 which is a time period that interests me because of my interest in Abraham Lincoln. It is very good so far. I never read a series out of order, but I can get away with it on this one because the characters are new and there are no carry over characters from the previous books.
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Abraham Lincoln

Wow that sounds cool, I should look it up.
I started Pride and Prejudice and Zombies a little while ago, so we'll see how soon I finish it.

Well, I thought there was a story going on, and I liked it. If it had just been drama I wouldn't have liked it as much. Oh, and it was sad, but I'm glad
Fang didn't actually die. *whew*

Not really, I was disturbed by all the romance and sad events that led to..the end. Slightly, but that's just because I don't really understand why you do.
ah. Well, like I said, not really a fan of teens making out, or of drama....but I did think it was sweet, and the story was exciting. Angel is....disturbing. Don't think I like her much anymore...But it was a great book, all things considered.
Who am I? I'd rather not answer that question, the real question is, "Who are you?". Right now I am trying to think of something witty to put here.. I might not find anything, but that's fine. This block of text should be fine for a signature. Wait, are you still reading this? Why are you reading this? Stop. Seriously.
STOP.
This sentence is true.
The sentence above is false.
I dare you not to read this.
Hey! I said not to read this.
Maybe if I talk like this.
Wait, you still see me? *sighs* I give up.

Yeah, it was cool. I forgot to mention one glaring negative, though: some profanities.

Can you define "some" (generally)?
