I need to try this one.

Theme: Adventure; Fantasy; Survival
Event: Relocation; Travel; Out of Body experience; Survival

BTW Ezi I think you're pushing it with Duck! (shifters) and The King (vampires). Why don't you put them into the Genre category? They'd pass as Fantasy just fine.

hey now, according to the definition of Alien,
Vampires and Shifters are:
1a: strange; b: foreign; c: exotic
2: differing in nature or character to us humans
3. Vampires & shifters don't originate from Earth AND/OR are a non-citizen resident of the United States of America.

just sayin'

LMAO, but they are fantasy items too. I was exercising my creative legs

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

@Melissa, do you like Breeds like you liked BDB in the beginning?

[~Melissa~]

If I had to rate them - not the same feeling as BDB in the beginning. Still good but a little less than BDB. I would put BDB above it. I loved the first four books of BDB and could re-read all of them.

Not sure my rating would be the same if I had picked up Breeds before BDB. May have a different result. Not sure that helped you lol

Loved this book but did not see the movie.

Thanks Barbara, I was being creative with my definition up there:D

**I just saw mortal instruments last night. How can anyone understand what's going on without reading the book? I read the book and I still found the movie a tad confusing.
