[Michael]

It's an omnibus isn't it?

[[deleted user]]

Have started What is the What and Hamlet (No Fear Shakespeare Graphic Novels) which are part of the challenges. So far, not sure if I like the first book, but am surprised to find I am really enjoying Hamlet.

I just finished Bossypants and enjoyed it so much! I should try to listen to the audiobook, did Fey narrated it? But also loved the pictures in the book. Here is my (short) review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Now onto Before I Go to Sleep to see what the hype is all about :)

Glad you're enjoying it:D

Brenda, I really liked The Gathering, giving it 4 stars. It is page-turner too. I did take a little while to get into though. It's kind of raw in it's language and descriptions, as could be expected in a story of abuse, alcoholism etc. I recommend it.
I'd best get a copy of Before I Go To Sleep. Seems to be the go!

Thanks Lesley..I haven't read it, but my son has, and he didn't like it at all. So I just wasn't sure...

Yes, pick up a copy of
Before I Go to Sleep...you'll love it!! :)

[[deleted user]]

I just finished Hounded. It was really good. It was actually recommended to me by someone who raved about it and they were definitely right. I can't wait for the next one to come out next month.
I'm having a weekend away this weekend so I'll probably be starting Princess Ben which I found for cheap at a book store.

I was up to about 4am last night because I was enjoying the audio so much!! haha...It's killed me for today. But so worth it! She does do the narration of the audio sooo you'll be laughing along.

I've got a little bit more to go. So worth it.

Will also check out your review :D

love yours brenda!

[★ Jess]

Longest Ive stayed up was to 3AM.
Harry Potter, The Book Thief, Angels & Demons.

[★ Jess]

wow :O

Correction: I meant longest ive stayed up *reading*.
Psssh, Ive pulled an all-nighter before. Plenty of times.
I pulled about ten during the FIFA world cup last year. But the greatest one was a sleep over at a friends how: Got there are 5PM, we stayed in the back room with no adults. When we finally decided to check the time (thinking it was 10-11PM) We found it was 2AM :O
Then we stayed up some more, and feel asleep at 7:30AM, getting picked up at 8AM. Was not the best feeling, though bucket loads of fun :D

[[deleted user]]

Michael that is an armature effort!

Last straddie holiday pulled one from 10am till like 5am wonderful day filled with beer, bbq at beach, pub, more drinking at the house with a bomfire to top it off. :D
not uncommon for this to happen haha
hey im 20 and im allowed to screw my liver up while i can

@ Laura - awesome. I don't really read them but i'm writing one for an assessment for school and was wondering if there is a different narrative structure to them as opposed to novels - besides from the obvious use of pictures.

@ Jessica - thanks. My auntie is going to supanova perth this year. i've been to some but haven't been to the comic book section. I'll try and find a comic book for this month.

Michael I have a couple of recommendations for you, as I'm reading Until Tuesday which you recommended to me. Last Dog on the Hill: The Extraordinary Life of Lou by Steve Duno. It sounds really good, and along the same lines. No Place Like Home by Pen Farthing is another one I just found as well.

They sound gorgeous don't they, but animals with a purpose! I'm really enjoying [book:Until Tuesday and found these other two on the Booktopia sale pages!
