I want to read Teardrop and it will be my first Lauren Kate books but then I read the blurb and the main character's name is Eureka? I don't think I want to read it anymore.

That's funny! I'm sure there's worse names! It would be funny in bed though!

Lol, I don't know whether America Singer is worse or not but I tend to pay attention to character names. If I don't like their name, I often don't read the books.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I told my boyfriend that the girl who plays ugly betty was called america and he didn't believe me. he told me 'nobody is named America!'. He was wrong.

[Abi]

It always makes me laugh when people are called after places.
The last time i seen someone in a book with the name "London" i kept laughing, because i kept thinking of people named "Birmingham"
You'd die of shame if you were called that.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I remember there was an article in the sun a few years ago about a couple in australia who had had their children taken off them by child protective services after they had named them 'bedroom', 'kitchen' and 'toilet'. what were they on?

[Abi]

Seriously?!

Imagine asking one of them where the other is.

"Kitchen, where's Toilet?! "He's in the bedroom"
"No, not Bedroom. I'm looking for Toilet"

Or shouting "Toilet!" when you've lost him at the shops.

[Abi]

I remember an article a few months ago, where someone who loved facebook named her daughter "Like"
And someone name their son "Hashtag" because they loved twitter.
Ridiculous.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That is nuts! My next door neighbour told me a year ago how a friend had named this kid 'Bo' and I said 'B-E-A-U?', and she said 'No, B-O'
I was like - they named their kid 'Body odour'?

[Tati]

Isn't that the name of the kid in Monsters, Inc.? Still, a bit of an odd name.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The kids at school are going to take the micky. they're going to say he stinks or something.

[Tati]

Yeah, kids can be really mean when they want to... (And I had no idea that BO also stands for Body Odour)

[Rachmi]

My senior high school friend's name is Happy New Year. I'm Indonesian and when I was at school English isn't a language that I have to learn but still I find it is an odd name. When I asked his name and he told me, I was like "huh, are you serious?"

[Abi]

How about all these celebs kids names?

Jamie Oliver's and Bear Gryll's kids names are ridiculous.

Jamie Oliver's Oliver's are called
Poppy Honey Rosie Oliver
Daisy Boo Pamela Oliver
Petal Blossom Rainbow Oliver
Buddy Bear Maurice Oliver

[Sarah Elizabeth]

They are a bit weird!

[Emma]

I'm just thinking our generation are most likely going to call our kids after book characters ... So there is going to be a class full of katniss' and peeta's and Ky's (matched) Xander's (matched) and other fandoms :/ and our parents are going think that they are wired names :3 I mean in Victorian tune there was some people called their kids Toilet :/

[Abi]

I love Katniss's character, but there is no way i would call my child that.
You know fair well what their nickname would be.
Ha ha.

I'm sure having fun writing the review, though.

ha ha! I'm 100% sure it will be more entertaining than the book!

[Tati]

Guess I'll take that book off my 'maybe' shelf

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Did you like Fallen?

[Tati]

Nope, but I persisted reading that series until Passion. Then, I decided it was not worth it to spend time with the fourth book.

[Abi]

I thought Fallen was okay at the time, but it got worse with every book.
I read Fallen when it first come out though, i'm sure i'd hate it now.

[Tati]

I got it as a gift from the publishing house I kinda worked for, but I disliked it, and it was such a sales success here in Brazil... Goes to show that the fact that a book is a bestseller doesn't mean it's good.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I was really disappointed with it. I finished it an immediately listed it for sale on amazon. i got another copy about a year ago from a car boot sale for 20p and thought i'd give it another try. don't think i'm going to bother now though!

[Tati]

I'm having trouble finding new, exciting books... My want to read list is under 200 titles, which is kinda depressing LOL

[Sarah Elizabeth]

How did you manage that?! Mine is at like 1800! and my cloud is ridiculously big ☺

[Tati]

It was never that big... I want to make it bigger, but I can't find any exciting books...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

What sort of books do you want?

[Tati]

I know it doesn't help, but I'm not looking for a specific type of book. They just have to seem interesting.

Anyway, I'm going through your to-read shelf LOL

[Sarah Elizabeth]

ha ha! between my to-read shelf and wishlist shelf it could take you a while!

[Tati]

Yeah, so many books!

[Ericka]

my god ma is giving me her doctor who book collection. thats a 100 paper backs, several audio bookS AND some are autographed!!! XD

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Wow! Massive haul! Hope you enjoy them ☺

Oh, no wonder I rarely see Jona for the last three months. But congratulations Abbie. I love your idea (along with Sarah) of Read Along reading challenge. It helps me "clean" the series that I've started :)

[Mei]

Wow! Congratulations Abbie!

I had really this funny experience resulting from my book addiction.

I was walking down the narrow alley reading a book, intensely, and I had not noticed that I veered off course until I heard a splash and a squish. And I was like, WTH? And I look down, not a bit surprised when I found my foot at the drainage. I promised that very day not to read and day dream while walking.

Oh dear! I used to read whilst walking all the time - you do tend to walk into things though!

I was drooling over the hot guy in the book.. I tend to space out, too. So when people ask me questions, it usually takes seconds to shake off my stupor.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh well, at least you didn't walk into a werewolf or something!

[[deleted user]]

i need a royal with cheese and if you know what i mean then you cool too. ;)
