all the same way as you did, from book sales under a dollar each signed by the authors. To answer your question, I would just go to http://www.tomfolio.com/ to search up for the author's signature. They have all different author's signature there. Then I would compare if its the same as the one in the book. Hope that helps.

The Andromeda Strain

Hmm I'm making my way though The Windup Girl. Its been slow going though. I'm trying to knock it out so I can get started on Something Wicked This Way Comes and Carrion Comfort.

I just ordered my copy from Amazon should be here hopefully by our start date of October 5. Oh btw my review is up for Adam! Incredible read!
What, you're already done with Adam!? WOW! I'm so glad you liked it so much, Janie. I'll be sure to check out your review soon!

Be sure to let us know your thoughts on it, Alondra. I love Anne Rice's writing, but there's been many mixed reviews, so I'd love to read your review.:)

gladly, Dustin. I don't think it will be a game-changer as far as werewolf stories go. i also don't think she will set the tone for them either with this book, the way she did with her vampire series, which I loved. Of course, i am only 93 pages in and it is flowing nicely. The guy is a little hung up on another character a wee bit much, for something not hokey to be going on. I will have to find out what the 'connection' is, if there is one. humpf.

Thank you, Alondra!
Janie wrote: "Currently reading The Bride Collector, Ted Dekker"oooooo....I like this one better than Adam.
Still working my way through The Given Daybut got distracted and read Shock the World: Uconn Basketball in the Calhoun Era and also, because I reread it every October I'm starting on Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Finished Bag of Bones last night and I really enjoyed it this time around. Then this morning I went to write my review and the damn computer ate it while I was working on it. And it was shaping up to be a decent review I thought... Really ticked me off. So I will have to try it again later when I'm a little more calm... >.<

Since you'll be re-reading Something Wicked This Way Comes, you should join the SK group read's discussion.:)

I love this book,it is shaping up well, but I have to say I loved Adam more.
I've finished reading
by John Grisham last night and this morning I've started
by Christopher Ransom.
I just finished Odd Thomas. I liked it but I knew what was going to happen at the very end so that kind of took away from my enjoyment a little.Now I'm going to start 12.21: A Novel.
I'm over halfway through The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - enjoying it very much. Hope to get the next book from the library soon.
I'm reading the memory keepers daughter by Kim Edwards :) its really good so far and I did a boo boo by watching the movie first but the book seems to be better. going to give the book to my mom to read after im done. :)

I finished Tomato Red by Daniel Woodrell last night, and now I'm onto Coraline by Neil Gaiman. It's my first Gaiman, and I'm hoping I like his style since he's got a few interesting looking books to check out. :)

I read Coraline not that long ago and enjoyed it. Gaiman is a new-to-me author too, but I really, really like what I've read by him so far :)
Kit★ wrote: "I read Coraline not that long ago and enjoyed it. Gaiman is a new-to-me author too, but I really, really like what I've read by him so far :)"Great to hear! I haven't officially started it yet, but I did like the movie, and I've only heard good things about Gaiman. His stories seem very interesting and unique. :)
Tracy wrote: "I have only read one Gaiman book American Gods it was very good. I would certainly recommend it."I've seen it, but just haven't read it yet. Thanks Tracy! I'll add it to my list. :)
Kathryn wrote: "I'm reading Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons."How is that one so far, Kathryn? It sounds like everyone's enjoying it. If only I could have gotten a copy before you guys started it! Grrrrr

Hey, Holly! If you and I lived closer, I'd gladly loan you my copy of Carrion Comfort.:)

Aww.....thank you Dustin! That's very thoughtful of you. :)
Janie wrote: "Really wish you could read it with us Holly, it is really very good."Me too, Janie. Oh well; there are plenty of other buddy reads coming up. I'm very excited about them!

You are very welcome.:) I'm glad.
It really is an amazing piece of work. I think everyone should read it at least once. It's one of my all-time favorite books, actually!
