Ahhh, so much awesomeness! You must let me know how If I Die and Hallowed are!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading, hon!
That's so funny - I got Anna and the French Kiss this week too and mine looks exactely the same. The pages are ruffeled which I think is an error during production or something.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't so sure either if I was okay with it but now I think it adds a bit of flair to the book. Maybe that's just me convincing myself to love it so I can read it right now. :-) Who knows?
Your books look lovely and there are some I will definitely check out.

Okay, I'm jealous. I thought I held back. I'm going to have to print out this page and send it to hubby and say, "See? it's completely NORMAL to buy/receive/get that many books!" Radiant Desire looks good, can't wait to see what you think :0)

OOh, Battle Royale is soo good. Have you ever seen the movie? BOoks into movie can be a sticky subject, but this one has cult status. Highly recommended.

I can't listen to the video until I get home and have some earphones, but I read Battle Royale and LOVED IT. It isn't the best written book (and it looks like you have the older translation, so be aware there is a few spots of translation errors), but I liked the story a lot. I literally opened it one night intending to read just a few pages and didn't put it down until dinnertime the next day!
ReplyDeleteI would suggest making copies of the list of students at the beginning to write your thoughts about the character and how/who kills them. It helped me a lot keep track of things since the names were so unusual to me.
