Sammy, I stopped near the end of Season 10 as well. The death of a certain character was finally my last straw. I was so tired of loving secondary characters and losing them!

Considering he gives his heart into the custody of another, I'd say he's okay with it. Which you would know if you kept reading..........

I'd give him up before killing him. But damn, that's harsh, brah!

There are clones available for everyone. Not sure why we need to cut him in half or question my custody. *sigh*

Me? Never! :D

So true!!! :)

Firefly Lane? My friend is obsessed with fireflies, and I bought her the book Firefly Lane (by Kristen Hannah) because it said firefly and the cover had them all over it. She ended up loving it and has read everything by KH now. She's been semi-excited about the show. She doesn't think they'll do a great translation of it to the small screen.

Sammy wrote: "Firefly also seems popular. Always nice to see people have good taste! ;)

(not saying the other shows aren't great too, it's just... Firefly!! lol)"

Here I was thinking "Oh she picked my favorite show... but ugh, she also picked Firefly."

I am only kinda sorry that I hate it. I've tried it multiple times and just can't do it.

Amanda's Watch-a-Thon"

YESSSSS another person "watching" my favorite show! Guess I'd better go work on the tasks for the last couple of seasons of Schitt's Creek :D

Keep pushing!!! Don’t fall victim to the lure of smut!! (Yet. Don’t quit it completely either. Just take a brief respite)

Amanda! The Way of Kings! Stormlight Archive is sooooooo good. It will pick up. The 20% it will be impossible to put it down!

It's a very interesting series with lots of good characters. It jumps around in the timelines though!

So basically, you should listen to both of us and ignore both of us. LOL
(though really, you should just ignore Sonia. Tybalt clearly can't be hers when she's on book six and I've read them all.)

YAY! Book 3 is one of my absolute favorites. It's almost a horror novel, compared to the first two. I love the rest of the series, but the storyline and creepy bits of book three is what cemented it as a favorite series list spot holder for me.

Also, you're more than welcome to a clone of Tybalt, but hands off the original. The King of Cats belongs to me. :) (And ignore anything Sonia says to the contrary)

They are quite short, and I've read them all :D
