Ahhhh sooo luckyyy, I'm soo stressed out I can't even begin to explain it
Mod
Thanks, yea I usually follow those tips, but it's one of those cases where everyone has something due on the same day, and it's just frustrating. I just gotta get through early May, and the rest is a breeze, and then it's summmeeerrrr here!!!! We've had such a long winter I can't stand it! It snowed in April!!
Snow!!!!! - sorry, I'm someone who hasn't seen snow, let alone been around it. Occasionally the odd hail storm, but no serious build up.I can imagine though. Personally I'm one for winter because it gets REALLY hot here.
Whenever I have a serious test, I listen to music whilst studying. Yes, it's usually classical and I have to admit it's Liszt, but it works, which is good.
Mod
Anyway, I use it all the time now and it really helps!
Good luck with everything Sofia!
Lol, I've never heard of that, I'll test it out, thanks. Yea the weather here has been crazy this year, we've had more snow than ever, usually it only snows a couple of times per winter, but we've bad some huge storms this year. It gets really hot here in the summer tho, can't wait to go to the beach!!!!
I know I'm really late to the game but eh. Okay.1. Yes! I saw Divergent at an advanced screening too and I was sad about char. dev, but they had the table seen so at least that's something. And they had a few funny Four moments that were hilarious and everyone wolf whistled and clapped when a certain something involving a certain weapon happened to a certain person. =D
2. Haven't read Maze Runner because apparently the series never fully explains anything and I am a person who needs answers. But my friend had and we're going to go see it and then we can have both views from someone who HAS read the book and HAS NOT.
3. I REALLY WANNA READ WINGS!!!
4. Could not agree more on the assignments thing. We have had more assignments in the last week than we have all term.
5. I'm pretty sure I'm getting sick too and my mother doesn't believe me even though I feel like purging my guts out. :<
Lol Steffi, it's never too late to enter the chat, and you should tooottaaallyyyy read Wings, it's sooo cute, reminds me a bit of the Trylle series, but the main characters are very different

It's so different from any other book out there and I really enjoy how the author has created this whole new world type of scene :)I have to admit the fourth one kind of confused me at times though
It's been so long since I w read them I can't separate the books in my mind, but I know that the last book kept me on the edge the entire time, so many twists and turns!!!!
Agreed. But can I ask, do you guys support Tamani or David? (I'm not someone who goes for teams, but I'm just curious to know who people were rooting for.)Oh and with what Steffi said, the audience for Divergent was CRAZY. I mean, they clapped, yelled, squealed, wolf-whistled, etc. Even when the name Divergent came onto the screen there was an uproar. It was really funny though because the two guys sitting next to me would yell 'Shut Up!' every time.
Lol, I was Team Tamani from the second he showed up!!!! A lot of times these romances with the "guard" don't work out, but he was just too awesome to ignore in my opinion. laurel and David just remind me of clary and simon, not really couple material
Same here. At first when I saw David I thought he seemed alright but when I met Tamani that was it. I mean, I still thought it could go the other way (Tahereh Mafi) but I was personally rooting for Tamani.I also thought that it was a bit like Max and Dylan from Maximum Ride.

I am 100 pages away from finishing The Mark Of Athena, which I hear is a massive cliffhanger and I'm worried,
but luckily I have House of Hades waiting for me as soon as I finish.
I have managed to sneak in a couple of chapters of Daughter of Smoke and Bones before bed, and I must say, I'm hooked. it's pretty awesome in a weird, unique way
Mod
I've printed out our group picture which hopefully Jess Shirvington will sign for me on Thursday and I ca nupload it with the signature! :D
Awesome! Sounds good!I'm SO nervous. Nervous, but excited.
Mod
I'm going to be carting that around the city! XD
I hope she'll sign them all, otherwise I'm going first of every series XD
Mod
I know exactly what you mean. I've been tempted so many times because I've seen it in Big W and Target, as well as Dymocks. It's SO SHINY!!!!!
Mod
Yeah I know!!!! Oh and if (when) I get there early I'm just going to do my usual stare at books and imagine them on my bookshelf thing. I can't be the only one who does that. It's like, oh, wouldn't that be a nice addition and it would match with this book. Instead of doing that for clothes, for me it's books!
I went to Dymocks the other day and they didn't have any free bookmarks!!!
:(
Mod
WHAT??? NO FREE BOOKMARKS! :O scandalous!
he he
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll stock up for the book launch. :D
I hope so! I'm definitely craving bookmarks!!! XD
Mod
Hahaha. I'm getting worked up now even thinking about it!
Mod
I keep writing basically the same comments the whole time about how excited I am, but it simply cannot be contained.I mean, I'm so excited AND nervous at the same time, although there really is nothing to be nervous about. (Life of a fangirl)
It's gotten to the point of wondering what to wear and I swear I'm one of the least girly people you could ever meet. Okay, slightly exaggerating, but I change when I'm excited, it's like an alter ego. Weird, but true.
I feel like Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker without the super powers.

And hahaha, it's xiao-xiao, but I'm sorry, I'm not sure who the other girl was. She was Xiao-Xiao's friend.
Did you get a pic with Jessica Shirvington?
Mod
I'll put it up on goodreads too. :D
Mod
Jess and me! :D
Awesome!I got one too, but I haven't uploaded or printed it yet.
Mod
Asking so many questions. AND SHE CAME AND TALKED TO US FIRST! WHOOO!
I know! My jaw nearly dropped because I seriously didn't believe it. My face started twitching as well because it was halfway between laughing and crying. So embarrassing... I was so shocked I could barely speak a word.

I did not have the dream, but I have not given up hope.
I am actually so in the Violet Eden zone right now.... O.O
Happy Birthday!! That's so weird I LITERALLY JUST PICKED UP EMBRACE AND STARTED READING. I WAS READING THAT PART WHEN I GOT THE GOODREADS NOTIFICATION. HAHHA
Mod
Happy B Day Renée! Definitely don't give up hope. We're expecting to see you in the next series with Grigori... (Hint, hint XD)
I wanna see Spence in his own series!! Sorry guys, but he is my absolute fav! You guys can have Lincoln and Phoenix but Spence is mine! (MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) *disappears into thin air*
Mod
ha ha ha ha ha
and thankyou!!!!! :D I feel so empowered! ;D
Hahaha....
I'm not kidding, he's mine.
I feel obliged to change the discussion topic about Lincoln and Phoenix so that Spence is there too, but then other people may try to argue over him.
So for those who haven't got the message - Spence is mine!!!
And yes, I definitely did disappear with him. You must have wondered why there hasn't been a new book yet... I have him captive!!!! XD
...
That just sounded so wrong *puts head in hands*
Love the pun. I say lots of jokes but you have to say the right ones around the right people. I made one about The Lunar Chronicles because I said 'I love the character Cress, she's really come out of her shell.'
No one really got that. WatermeLoonie, that's your cue to read them now :)

I'm so glad I'm on holidays right now, I always get ahead of schedule in the holidays so that I can only be a few behind by the time it gets to next holidays.
