Aww wow, thank you so much Vered! Although, gosh, I hate to follow Chaos Walking, eek!! Hope you enjoy it ;)
DAVID - well, I did wait a couple days before I ventured into a new book. It took me that long to recover. Seriously. But no worries, Fire Country is definitely not disappointing me! BLUEMOON - I haven't had this problem in a while, but Chaos Walking really threw me. Fortunately, David's helping me recover...!

"I liked ..."
I've heard it is excellent on audio so that is the only reason I am reading it. So far so good.
Mod
Well, I didn't realize the order of these Tortall books so I have not read Alanna yet. I just put it on hold at my library. These are about Keladry but Alanna does show up a few times in them. The Protector of the Small books are the first set of books that I have read by Tamora Pierce. Since I am reading all four of them, that's a good indication that I think they're a nice read. Not as deep or heavy as Chaos Walking or The Book Thief so it's a nice change of pace.

I have a book club meeting for The Perks of Being a Wallflower on Tuesday the 26th. I haven't even opened the cover yet. I will be in the naughty corner on monday reading the whole book in one day XD

Mod
Lol I tried to make it hard on purpose :) I just wished it into existence, check the fridge and use your imagination.
OMG...You guys are hysterical!! I can't raise one eyebrow although I can do a tongue roll! I'd rather just click my heels 3 times and say "Dairy Queen". ;-)

I'm almost afraid to reach the end...
Heidi (eternal optimist, well maybe not eternal) wrote: "Vered I am so glad you loved Chaos! I love books that touch me that deeply. They are rare which makes me love even more. :)"Oh yeah, Chaos is definitely up there on that list of books that just won't let me go. The only problem is that afterwards, you feel kinda lost and lonely!

I didn't want it to end. Have you met Perry, yet! He's my favorite!

"Yay! I have been totally slacking on the second book and have read about 25% . It is really good so far it is just that it is on my Kindle and I have had too many print library books to read first.

I haven't read anything by her so I will ask back in a few weeks Darcy! If I pick one now I will forget by May!
I need to start the book thief too ... D:And I will be reading Lucy in the sky by anonymous for my march book club for someother place.
and ... i need to get back on track with reading. maybe my orthopedist will be able to find something helpful so i don't spend half my days in bed wanting to be productive and helpful but in too much pain to read because it requires sitting up or holding a book.

And no wiggling ears and unnaturally long tongue over here, David.Ok, that probably looks really weird to someone who hasn't read the whole conversation...
