I started Clockwork Angel today by Cassandra Clare and am absolutely in love with the story.

Hey Woo! Welcome to BCF Glad to have another bookaholic on board!

Doctor Who

Wow... very ambitious undertaking! Last night I bought Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare (SQUEE!) and Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough. Today I'll be starting Clockwork Angel as I've been waiting for this for more than a year! (Double SQUEE!)

Legally Blonde

That's very true! It's really amazing how things have changed in the literary world the last 100-150 years with women writing, books being mass published and distributed and now the internet/eBook market. The theory these days is that if you want to write something, regardless of your 'class', age, race or gender is that you go for it and make it the best you can. It doesn't matter where you came from, you just do it. Rawr, I remember hearing about the Meyer/King thing back when it happened. There was a LOT of backlash against King, which is surprising with how popular of an author he is (and the fact that his comment was pretty darn true regarding her writing.)

Wow, what a list, Echo! Looks like we'll be seeing you again sometime around Christmas, eh? I'm still playing around with the eReader Barnes and Noble gave me to test out. Been reading The Last Witchfinder on it and am really liking both the book and the electronic gizmo.

Welcome to BCF!

Started The Last Witchfinder tonight and its a bit different than I had expected, but very good so far

Today at work my boss gave me one of the Barnes and Noble Nooks to test out for the weekend. I am loving it much more than I ever thought I would and am pretty sure that I'll be purchasing one of my own pretty soon

The skin is so... sourish. *blech* Another grapes thing- they HAVE to be cold.

You have some excellent books on there Quite a few of us have been reading To Kill a Mockingbird the past few weeks because this year is the 50th anniversary. Hope you enjoyh it as its one of my all time favorites

Mac n Cheese (Yes for breakfast! Don't judge...)

Hey Sian! Welcome to BCF

Is it Paul? Ugh, I always get Paul and John mixed up for some reason. The notebooks and the album I have are the uncensored ones, but I did notice a poster in a store that didn't have it.

I like grapes but often peel all the skin off before eating them because it's icky. Since this is too much work I rarely buy grapes. A couple days ago I learned that The Beatles Abbey Road picture is actually censored (the authentic, non censored ones have John holding a cigarette, censored ones do not have a cigarette). I'm now obsessed with finding the non-censored pics. Most of my dreams involve trees in some major way, like them chasing me or squishing me or being angry at me. I spend way too much time online. I find kilts and nerd glasses very sexy.

Birthday cake remix ice cream from ColdStone (cake/frosting flavored ice cream, sprinkles and chunks of chocolate cake)

That sounds really good I'll have to put those on the list. I believe you've mentioned Karin Slaughter to me a few times. I won an advanced copy of A Secret Kept by Tatiana deRosnay on Twitter earlier and am really excited to read it. The synopsis is: The long-delayed resolution of a French family's mystery electrifies de Rosnay's (Sarah's Key) glimpse at the crushing cost of keeping secrets. Parisian architect Antoine Rey and his sister, Mélanie, celebrate her 40th birthday on the island where they vacationed as children with their mother, until she died there in 1974. Upon returning, Mélanie is gripped by a shocking repressed memory and loses control of the car. After a brief spell of amnesia, she tells her brother what it was she remembered: their mother had been in love with a woman. As a skeptical Antoine investigates this twist in their mother's past, an upsetting chain of events unfurls: his daughter's best friend drops dead of a heart condition at only 14 years of age; his teenage son is arrested; and he learns that his father is dying of cancer. Antoine gets support in his quest from a new lover, a Harley-riding mortician who teaches him how respecting death helps one to embrace life. This perceptive portrait of a middle-aged man's delayed coming-of-age rates as a seductive, suspenseful, and trés formidable keeper. I'm really looking forward to reading this one. The reviews so far are very good, hopefully it holds up! Unfortunately before moving to Fargo I ended up selling off a majority of my books. Most were ones that I had read but with things so uncertian I also sold off some that were on my TBR pile that I really wanted to read. Now that things are starting to settle down a bit I think I'm going to invest in a Barnes and Noble Nook. For employees they're only 119.00 and you have access 100's of free books. With how unstable things tend to be in my life, that may be a good option right now, even though I love the smell and feel of a 'real' book.

The Holiday *swoons over Jude Law* Excellent as always
