Glad to hear that! I saw it in the store, had even picked it up but put it back down. Ended up going back for it before I left the store... the summary just stuck with me, so I'm hoping the story is good too :)

trying hard to restrict my book buying at the moment but I've been debating about getting the hard cover of: While I Live (The Ellie Chronicles, #1) by John Marsden as I have the other two books in this series in Hard cover I have this one in Paper back and for some reason... it's irritating me that it's not in hardback.

So you can trade some books and get some books.I traded Insomnia, The Stand, and IT in paper (I got the hardback copies of those books yesterday) and took Four past midnight, Carrie (original movie novelization) and Lisey's Story. All King. Later I'll check the table again.

Looks like you're a King fan, too! So, assuming you've read 11/22/63 by Stephen King . For me, it gives the THE STAND, which has long been my favorite King, a real run for its money. Zipped through it in no time and totally loved it!

I liked WITHER a lot when I read it last year. However, FEVER, the 2nd in the trilogy was pretty bad.

There was much joy in Whoville that day.

Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth Bitterblue (Graceling Realm, #3) by Kristin Cashore Deadlocked (Sookie Stackhouse, #12) by Charlaine Harris
