Thalia’s comments from the The Dusty Bookshelf group.

Welcome Amanda! (:

Hannah, it IS SO GOOD. *throws flags everywhere* I've already read it now, but I just got the paperback I preordered in the mail today and I can't stop holding it. <3333

My goodness, about fifty pages into Eragon now; it's FINALLY picking up, hahah.

Okay am I a nerd or what? Just went to add all the ones you guys mentioned and I already have them all on my list. OTL.

April, good about Tris and Izzie! Not even Arthurian fans might find that one worthwhile, hahah.

I just noticed that "dreading" is just "reading" with a "d".

Fun fact. (:

April, I read all my books out loud. When you're reading the story that way, there's no way to skim. And then I get all compulsive if I miss details. I've gone back pages to reread single lines that I'm not sure I got right. XD

Is this a new emote? :()
Is that not the same as :O?
Hahaha. (:

Man, I don't even have anything to do right now and I'm staring at Eragon, dreading reading it! x)

Dalynn, I'm not surprised Silmarillion has tons of details, hahaha. Even some of the biggest LotR fans haven't been able to stomach it!

Cynthia, I will! It might happen this weekend. (:
I couldn't even watch I Am Legend when it was dark outside! And that movie doesn't even generally scare me!

I also can't play one of my video games after sunset, and it's not even scary, hahah. So chances are if I can make it through Woman in Black, you'll be able to just fine. (:

HAHAHA. <3 If you're referring to Mary Stewart's books or the Roger Lancelyn one Dalynn mentioned, I haven't read either. (; For all my Arthurian love, my collection of the stories is rather small. 3 But both of what you mentioned (Mary Stewart's entire series, too) are pretty early on my TBR list, like, in the first couple hundreds (which is pretty good out of 1800+, hahah).

I'll be glad with whatever. <3

Yeah, since that first time I read it (took me like, three weeks to a month that first time @_@), I keep looking at it on my shelf like, 'I should probably read that...but not now.' I have no excuses now, since I'm reading it with you guys, ahaha.

This is terrible of me, but this is the same reason I never finished Harry Potter. OTL. I got to book three was like, 'TOO MANY DETAILS I DON'T CARE ABOUT!' *throws books across the room* *sigh*

Welcome Katrina! Pleased to meet you! (:

Scary movies terrify me! Nevertheless, I want to see Woman in Black because I mean...Harry Potter is in it. (; But I have to go with my friend, because she's not scared of scary movies, and she'll hold my hand as I sob, hahah.

Sherlock is on Netflix! Huzzah, I'll be able to watch it finally, sometime! (:

I'm page thirteen or something of Eragon. I remember why it took so long to read it the first time around...there's SO MUCH description and not a lot of action. I mean, Tolkein does the same thing, but with Tolkein I'm seriously interested in it. XD Right now I'm like, trudging through. Alas, I hope I get to the "meat" of the story soon!

We can be snarky about bad movies as well as books. (;

Thank heavens! Today, we named our study group in history the Ladies of the Lake. Because me and Tristan were two out of three people in the group and well, we both have an addiction. (:

But the other girl in our group was like, "Oh, King Arthur. I actually hated that unit." Whaaaaa, it was like being stabbed in the heart!

My best friend is named Tristan! (: Well, she's a girl, hahah! If I could get away with naming one of my kids after a knight, I totally would. But something like "Perceval" might be conspicuous. (;

^^^
SERIOUSLY.

I saw the Eragon movie before I had the book, right when it first came out. I remember thinking it was a really decent movie and was really angry when it ended on a cliffhanger and my friend was like, "OH YEAH, it's a trilogy, lololol."

And then I read the book and I was like, "Well, that about the worst book-to-movie adaption EVER." Could it have been anymore inaccurate? XD

I read To Kill a Mockingbird my freshmen year of high school and I loved it! It was so very wonderful. (: The rest of your list sounds great!

Yep, I'll be hopping in tomorrow! I needed to give myself a day to rest from the craziness of what I just read and all those feelings, hahah. I'm super excited to read it! :D

April, I haven't been this excited over a side character for like...forever. I'm thinking of making a t-shirt or something. (:

Hi Kate! Pleased to meet you! Wow, you've got quite the library! That's impressive. (:

When we chose classics in my English class last year, one of my friend picked Hunchback. She really, really loved it, so I'm thinking of trying to find my own copy sometime and reading it, too. (: Though probably not in time to read it with the rest of you, unfortunately! Best of luck guys. (:

I'll be starting it either tonight or tomorrow! But probably tomorrow so I can at least give my heart a little time to rest after finishing Demonglass and feeling all my insides explode, hahah. Just let me know when you guys start, too. (:
