I'm not big on a lot of romance either, I like it more off to the side, not the main point of the book; except I did really like Flipped, but even that had other stuff in it, but I do eventually want to read Confessions of a Serial Kisser; I mean WVD is still an amazing author, so I know the book is going to be good. :)<br /><br /><br /><br />Gabrielle Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471660304961348918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-70528164612343287002013-10-09T17:33:42.728-07:002013-10-09T17:33:42.728-07:00Gabrielle: Yeah thats what i meant by COASK and i&...Gabrielle: Yeah thats what i meant by COASK and i've read it. It's great but I think i like her other books better. I'm not into so much romance. And i didnt choose it since it can be limited to girls and what if a guy chose it but returned it. I chose a Bartholomew Strouse book and Alex Rider.Yusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336152552714339539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-65268355882126072132013-10-09T03:29:40.111-07:002013-10-09T03:29:40.111-07:00Yusa, I joined the book club/library club, and me ...Yusa, I joined the book club/library club, and me and my friend are doing the "blind date with the book", and I chose the only Wendelin Van Draanen book they have, Confessions of a Serial Kisser, which I have yet to read.<br /><br /><br /><br />GabrielleGabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471660304961348918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-8490855663616692412013-10-08T21:18:40.178-07:002013-10-08T21:18:40.178-07:00Kylie: Have you read the crossover?

I love her books!<br /><br />We did this really cool volunteer thing in the library for teens where we chose a book from the teen section and wrapped it all up so that people can "blind date a book" and read new things without seeing it first. It was really fun and i chose books that i thought were amazing, but not a lot of people read. Sadly no WVD books that i saw at that time in the teen section other than COASK that i thought might be limited to girls.<br /><br />--YusaYusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336152552714339539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-89646255690945558052013-10-08T19:34:11.640-07:002013-10-08T19:34:11.640-07:00Halloween is definitely my favorite holiday.

The shoelace thing with the R looks really cool on a cover and on a pumpkin. <br /><br />Jessica- I know how you feel, I haven't gotten to read SKatKC yet either! Grrrrr. My library takes a forever and a half to order books even though I've sent like 10 suggestion forms. And the chain bookstore around me is not that up to date on SK, plus it's at the mall, and my mom hates the mall. There are "Too many people." So I'm waiting it out. I did this for Sin City too.<br /><br />Yusa- I also need to read Ally Carter's United We Spy, I've read all the others. Plus I need to finish the Heist Society series.<br /><br /><br />NoelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-32487704216052677422013-10-08T19:14:41.448-07:002013-10-08T19:14:41.448-07:00Holy Literary Highness and her Bloggies.

My mom, over the summer got I operation on her wrist, and it was her dominant hand to, so it was really hard.<br />And I don't have just one favorite Sammy Keyes book, I have a quite a few: I love Moustache Mary, Wedding Crasher, Dead Giveaway, Showdown in Sin City, And Killer Cruise. So, yeah, a few, I just don't think I could pick just one! <br />Wouldn't it be cool if there was Sammy Keyes merchandise?!

I managed to find The Running Dream and Flipped (which was in two places, under teen fiction and teen paranormal romance -- guess that upside-down chicken on the cover threw them), and when I asked, the guy was "Hmm, SKatKC is new, so we should have it... That's weird, it wasn't shipped to *any* of our stores." :(<br /><br />I'm going to try the independent children's bookstore where Wendelin was supposed to do a book-signing for the Running Dream, if I can find it. And I'll keep harassing the library until they order it. In the meantime, I'm re-reading Sin City. The first 3 sentences of chapter 1 are so awesome.<br /><br />Wendelin, I don't know if 4am was a late bedtime or early rising, but either way, I hope you got some sleep!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-34753142347115140092013-10-08T06:14:03.542-07:002013-10-08T06:14:03.542-07:004:00 AM Los Angeles: Read all the comments and tho...4:00 AM Los Angeles: Read all the comments and thought, I'm so glad for my bloggies.

I hope you feel better soon!<br /><br />Jessica- I hope you get to read it soon! It is such an spectacular book. I have to agree with O4E in that it is probably my favorite in the series. I hope you feel better soon. Being sick for 3 weeks doesn't sound like fun. It is my dominant hand worst makes it all that much worse. I have to write with my left hand and it looks like my 7-year old nephews hand writing. But I only have this week of school and then break, so it shouldn't be that bad.

It was updated on 10/2, and SKatKC was not on either list. :( I guess I need to find a bookstore locally. (Though I'm still going to harass the library until they order it, because it's just silly to have all but 2 books of a series.)<br /><br />Kylie, glad it's not broken (though sprains aren't any fun, either). I hope it's not your dominant hand. When I sprained my non-dominant wrist (thanks to my big brother turning Thanksgiving family frisbee time into tackle-frisbee), I couldn't even pick up a pencil with it, so I couldn't imagine trying to eat and write and get dressed and bathe and everything else with the dominant one sprained.<br /><br />O4E, I'm sick, too (I've been for 3 weeks now -- I'm ~90% better, but still have a little bit of a cough).

My favorite is the Dead Giveaway pumpkin, maybe because I think the night of the Black stretch Pearl had some of the funnest scenes in the series.<br /><br />I'm hoping tomorrow is library database update day (and that the update includes KC). But my sudden random brain wave was correct regarding Yusa's code from a few weeks ago, and I decoded it. It's a tricksy little code, and it would be a good way to practice certain homework.<br /><br />My friend's daughter is in kindergarten learning to read, and she mentioned that she's helping with the school's "Girls on the Run" program, so I of course mentioned ETRTR. She's interested but doesn't know how to get the school interested. Any suggestions on who she should talk to?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-37568140401898676232013-10-06T13:32:39.464-07:002013-10-06T13:32:39.464-07:00Those pumpkins are amazing!
