HA! You finished Z's? What'd you think of it?

Ahahah! That's an awesome idea for a challenge :D

Glad Ender made it in there as an E! As for the Nightingale book/series, I'm actually pretty surprised I've never heard it mentioned on here. Maybe it's a UK thing; they're fairly well known here. Think I'll have to do a bit of subtle promotion (hah!)

Poor Brittany! You can't escape the BDB talk. I tried when I first started too, but those brothers pop up everywhere!

Yay! My girl crush is validated by someone who knows what I am talking about. I would be most interested to hear her without her accent - it is such a pronounced one. I wonder if I would still love her?

Heidi remember those audiobooks they were giving away this summer? The one where they gave away the Hunger Games (and everybody hated it, lol)? This was one of them. You didn't get it then?

[Heidi]

Peep I did not love the narrator yet. How was I to know she would mesmerize me so?
And also WOW. You are really picking at me today. First the challenges comment I made and now this! *sniffle* *sniffle* I am starting to think you are bored. Do we need to make up a new love triangle to pick opposing sides for??

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Awww I'm not picking on you! I wonder if I can upload it and send it to you? Or, I could burn and mail you a cd if you want. That's not breaking the law, is it, since I own it? You could mail it back to me when you're done :P

Oh I was totally kidding! Did you listen to it? How was it?

Actually I thought it was really boring at first and I kinda wanted to just slap Z. I mean angst can only take you so far. Then I got to the final 150ish pages of the book and OMG!! I cannot even explain how great all of that was.

I know Butch's book isn't nearly as good from what you guys have said, but everything that happened (and most of it without explanation) makes me really excited for the next book. I put in the request for it the day I picked up Z's from the library.

[Clementine]

I do love The Hunger Games Trilogy and Shiver.

[Heidi]

What series is that Catie & Arphaxad???

[Kourtni]

sounds right up my alley!! I put it on my TBR, which is growing to be a very scary pile..

[Heidi]

I added it too!

[Arphaxad]

Yay, guys! Glad to spread the word :)

Catie, how was the prequel? It's the only one I haven't read yet, I just spotted it in a bookshop the other day. Is it as good as the others?
