Noooo...thank you for sharing your talent. One day, when you're doing a national tour I'll stop by B&N and be able to tell the person in front of me, "I knew him back in the day!":-)

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! At this point like half of my family has read at least parts of the book (all of us who are like, over the age of 14, haha). And we've had a lot of interesting discussions about it. Ah haha I scored even higher on the quiz thing, I think something like 17 or 18.

Did I end up unsubscribed to that too? If I have time this morning I'll pop over if not this evening I'm there.
Ok I love Goodreads even more today! I was looking at the book The Blue Castle
because I read it years ago when I went through my Anne of Green Gables fascination and I loved it and I noticed a link to download ebook so I clicked on it and it gave me the ebook for free! WHAT!? I am super excited! You rock Goodreads!

Thanks guys! The ironic thing is I was looking to buy the kindle book of it and their is no kindle version! Weird! Has anyone else ever got a free book on GR like that?? Now I wonder if I have been missing out!
I've seen it before but haven't actually downloaded it. I bet most of the classics can be had this way and sometimes an author will have a promotion going.
Almost done with
. I'm not even sure when I bought this ebook...but I can almost guarantee it was a random Amazon sale. Those get me EVERY time.

Almost done with:
It's been a struggle for me. For some reason I've just found it really difficult to get into. I think the style just really doesn't work for me.
Anyway, after I'm done I'm going to start my ARC of:
Woot woot!

Hey gang, just got back from Croatia and trying to catch up with life (ugh), including writing reviews for the various books I read in airports and planes (big YEAH for Kindle!):(
- awesome!
- pretty good, but not as good as the Country series books (I'm guessing you wrote the Dwellers series first, David?)
- although I am tired of the vampire genre, this was a really fun re-look at vampires, from a mom's perspective!
- beautifully written, loved it
- I really like this series - middle grade, original and very well writtenI guess I lucked out with my books on this trip, 'cause I enjoyed them all.

Thank you!!! *happy dance!* Lol, yeah, the Country Saga is phase 3 in my evolution as a YA author, Dwellers is phase 2 :) Glad to hear you think I'm improving!

Oh yeah, you are improving by leaps and bounds, David - all 3 Country books were great, with such a wonderful voice and language and... ok, I loved them. And it's great to see a writer improve and develop, so kudos!

Gone Girl is NOT YA but it was good. It was crazy though and I would never re-read it!

No problem - I take longer with audio myself.

Hi Vered! Glad you are back safe and sound. I am excited for the Country series even more now because I really enjoyed his Dweller series!

It was ... meh. And it took me like more than a week to read. I just had a lot of trouble getting into it.

Thanks Snickers :D
I'm reading too many books right now. I think
just messed me up because it's a lot longer than I was expecting when I picked up the audio book. I've switched to the paperback but it's still gonna take awhile. I think it may be put on hold while I do our
buddy read.
