    Good Luck, Deborah!

    I just noticed your blog info in your PBS siggy. I'm in the A Wish & A Prayer CF WL Swap with you! :)

    Leaving Carolina is on my WL. I tried to read The Elevator, but couldn't finish it. :( You've reviewed lots of books I've read, have on my WL, or are in my TBR piles.

    I'm taking your button so I can be sure to come back often.

    You can visit me at either of my blogs:

    Deborah....

    You blow my mind with how fast you read! I'm doing the read-a-thon today, too, and I've gotten off to a very slow start.

    Hope you gets lots of reading done today!!

    Traditional read-a-thon blessing:

    May the bookshelf be there to greet you.
    May all the books appeal.
    May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
    the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
    may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.

    Good luck today!

    Way to go on getting so many pages read. I've been off to a rough start with many, many interruptions even though I informed everyone of what I was doing this week. Oh well, here's to a few minutes of peace! Happy reading.

I was more than pleasantly surprised and shocked while reading this book. I have the first three books of the Twilight series and I will admit that I am not really a fan of them. The writing in those books is not very well done, plus I have problems with the storyline and the characters in general. Plus with all the hype surrounding them, it just makes the reading seem more tedious. Therefore I approached The Host with rather low expectations and prepared myself for another Twilight except with aliens. Boy was I in for a shocker. When I started reading, I was amazed at how I got sucked into the book. I really didn't expect to, be...

It's here! Today is my 3 year blogiversary! (Never mind tha t the first entry is marked on 9/20, I had written that post the day after and then backdated it) . I can't believe that I'm still here and blogging away! As al ways, the reason why I started blogging was thanks to Camy Tang's blog which inspired m e to write my own blog. My main goal was to blog about the books I read because I figured I'd like others to know about the good books that were ou t there . I honestly can't believe that it's lasted this long and I hope to keep going strong. I've met so many new friends in the past year alone and I've even gotten to meet several in person and I'm going to meet more next week at the National Book Festival! I'd also like to say thank you to those who nominated me for Best Cultural Review Blog for the 2009 BBAW Awards. It's truly been an honor that you considered me for that award and even more awesome that I made the shortlist...
