Woot, I've finally updated my list xD

Could you add me to the list now please, Knerd? ^^
My posty

@dani - and maybe my shampoo and loofa, if the box is big enough? XD
kelly kept using all my tissues, but i think it may be because it's mountain cedar season. that's pretty much the worst allergy in the area here.
i haven't watched p&p since last night! p: i've been much to busy trying to figure out where the coraline key walls are (apparently there was one in chicago and one in dc.)

@library books - yes, librarians fail a lot. especially the unwilling ones.

And if you guys are interested:
My LibraryThing Profile

I loved Tithe. I read it after I read the Spiderwick Chronicles because I thought it would be more grown up.
I was 15 then, I think...
I think I read Valiant too, but I can't remember. I wanna re-read them now. o:

Holly Black to me is like Amelia Atwater-Rhodes; their books are meant for young teens and I could probably read all the books they've both written in one day, yet I don't think I'll ever stop reading them.
That's the sad part about growing up, you are no longer "supposed" to be reading some of your favorite authors..

I loved Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' stuff too. :'D
Omg, how I wish I had library access!
I'd be reading all these books that I read 3 or 4 years ago and don't really remember, except that I loved them. xD

(Honestly though I use my cat to make sure everything's safe since pet's see the unseeable and she was all relaxed as she went to sleep on my pillow after it happened.

And I just ordered The Host^^ Can't wait to begin reading that book, heard so much good about it and I did read the summary, very interesting plot! And talking about creepy books and my cat. I have one of those "Horrible Histories" books which I love to read. My cat was sitting in front of it, watching as I turned the pages and there were to star charts, two big huge black 'holes' with tiny stars on them. When my cat saw them she was so startled she scampered backwards and fell of the bed o.O I have no clue what she thought it was other than 2 black circles in a book o.o;

I do that too. :3
My house has paranormal activity going on (though not as much as it did for like the first year after we moved in...I guess whatever is here is used to us now...) and Sweet Pea is sensitive to it. :3

Paranormal conversation:: You all were talkative. xD
You should come hang out sometime in the paranormal hangout thread, since its pretty much just me and Thoth and HIM keeping it alive, and so it dies a lot. :lol:

I blame whoever was talking about these and got me interested... Then hooked. xD

Haha!
How do you like her stuff? o:
I just started the newest book of her Merry Gentry series.
Anita Blake was getting boring. >_>; -blasphemer-

I dunno about Stormy, but I'm hoping for more crime fighting/paranormal investigations. That was what got me hooked on the books in the first place, was Anita, because she's like my height and people underestimate her a lot, she reminds me of myself in that respect. xD

But in the newer ones there's so much sex. Its getting on my nerves.
And not really the sex, so much as the main character's (Anita's) attitude about the sex. >.<

I love how so far there's no sex and then it tips the other way towards the newer books. Happy medium please? xD

XD I'm misreading words again. I thought you said "steal him and lick him in my basement" And I was like "lol sounds kinky...oh, wait." >.>;

I don't think there was ever a happy medium. >.> I haven't read some of the books for a while, but I think it just goes from one extreme to the other...not so bad as it is now though. xP

Freaking book store does that.
Slaps their barcode price sticker right over the summary and I'm like "WAHH wtf?"

Did you ever read Ironside? It continues Tithe's story and adds Valiant to it.

Haha!

I really like it so far, I'm a little ways into Lunatic Cafe now. I was planning on starting the Merry Gentry series soon but I just got hooked so it might be a while before I start.
I hope the new books bring back the fighting because I really like the way the books are now (first four) and I couldn't them being half as interesting without the action.
I really like Anita because she cracks jokes when she shouldn't. That's kinda like what I do...

I hope it levels out.

Kita: BAH! Stupid people. >w<
All the books I get from the book store either have the barcode already printed on the back or the sticker is on the front of the cover.

I'm none too interested in paranormal activity. I can't say that I completely agree with it. I's quite fun to read about at times, but I just can't take it to heart.

I swear- every time I try to chat in this thread, something comes up and I get distracted. :< *sits her butt down and refuses to leave*

I'm catching up with all the books I've neglected to read, though. I'm on my fourth book since yesterday afternoon. *thumbs up* It's been lovely to read so much.

Since Iltu brought this up it suddenly came to my attention that each time I came in here I find that several pages have gone by and the conversations I've been in are dead . . . T-T . . . Just thought that I'd get that out . . .

*pats Alaunt* We can be like... missing out buddies. o_o Or something.

you know, it might that you guys have lives.
which isn't necessarily a bad thing. XD

ps.
dani, your shelfari failed.

*snort* Nah, it's because I slink off to my room to read four hours on end. :P My 'life' is my dogs, my books, my art (writing and drawing both) and my internet.

...Which isn't much of a life at all, really. In fact, I think it kind of hints at me having no life.

But I'm happy with no life, so it's all good. *thumbs up*

@Iltu: I'm on my fourth book in three days! I just read near my computer.

@Leenie: Fixed it.

Dream and Die- I get too distracted by the internet if I do that. XD I read in my room, all holed away from any and all distractions. Except sleep. And my dogs. And music. But usually if I start to fall asleep, I go read elsewhere, I try to pet my dogs and read at the same time, and I tend to turn off music pretty quick because it's hard for me to concentrate on words both written and sung all at once and I would rather just read. :P

If I listen to music while I read I tend to stop reading and daydream about the book. xD
Usually my dog just sleeps next to me while I read but it's been snowing all day so she keeps wanting to go outside like five minutes after we come back in. I havn't been able to read much because I've had to freeze to satisfy my dogs inner puppy.

*about the dying conversations*

I don't always have time to read through every single page here, so I'll usually stop in and think to myself "huh, how'd that topic come up?" Then I scan through the pages to find new lists, then I'm usually distracted by something else going on in the site. So yeah, I can understand why sometimes a topic could die out: Everything here just moves so fast!

Unless I find the conversation particularly interesting, I don't usually bother reading through it. XD;;
On a totally unrelated note, I'm watching Men in Black...again. D:

@iltu - more of a life than me. i've got internet, books, movies, and my cats. (one of which i've banished now because he keeps throwing up on my bed)

i always need music on when i read or do anything else that doesn't have sound to go with it (like a movie) i just feel the need for constant sound or else i get creeped out and lonely. :[

@knerd - see what you've started? a chatterbox group of book nerds who can't shut up. XD

In other words, the coolest kind of people in the world. :heart:

@Tire - That might actually just be it. >.<

I don't think so, no. o:
Must've came out after I lost library access...

That's the one before Bloody Bones, right?
Bloody Bones is the first one I actually own out of the series.
Wait, maybe I have The Circus of the Damned...huh. I need to go look at my bookshelf. XD;;
I like the Merry Gentry series better, actually, but that's partially (mostly?) because I love faeries. And also...the men in it are supernaturally gorgeous. :drool:

xD Don't give me ideas. >>;

Haha. <3
If I'm going to lock (lick?) someone up, I'd rather have Nathaniel. <33
But I don't think you've met him yet...

Him or Asher...
But I think Nathaniel. o:

I know!
I mean, they could put the stupid sticker on the inside of the jacket, or if its a paperback, on the inside of the cover...not slapped over the summary. T_T

@knerd - of course. <3333

@alaunt - teehee. :3
i did have something of a life, but after-holiday hours at work are crap so i don't have work for a few weeks. D:

@kitami - THANKGOD. someone who spells faerie correctly. :]
because they are fae.
fairy always makes me think of tinkerbell. D:
(i have very opinionated opinions about "mythical" creatures. XD)

XD Opionated opinions?
I've always thought of fairies as the more modern idea, and faeries as the older ones.

@Bishie: That's what I think too. Well I think fairies are the fake fairy tale stuff like Disney. Faeries are the ones who will steal your children and eat you face if they felt like, you know the real ones. (Is not ashamed to admit that faeries, spirits and elementals are real.) :)

@Kitami: Ironside is new within a year, year and a half.
Yes Bloody Bones is next. I have yet to meet Nathaniel or Asher, but I have a thing for controlling egotistical jerks. Not in the "I'm going to change them" or "He's different when we're alone" kind of way, not even in the "I like being bossed around way." I need a someone who's actually as mentally tough as they boast... otherwise I break people. Oops. Thus Jean-Claude's top on my list for now and I'm trying to find someone with Mo Folchart's skills. xD
If any one gets that reference you get a cookie.

@Leenie: You have a life? What? I didn't finish a book today, but I did get three fourths of the way through.

Dream: Yeah...Fairies are kind of cute...fae are just...scary. D:

@Bishie: Yay faeries! >>;
Please excuse me I haven't slept in about 4 days, my crazy is starting to show.
