Kathy Martin said...: I didn't know that DJ MacHale had a new book coming out. I will have to tell my friend at work. She is a big fan. She even had her sister attend a book signing in Phoenix and ship her the books so that she could get autographed copies here in lovely Minnesota.

I see you got a set of Harry Potters. I have both the hardcovers and paperbacks. I also have the books on cassette and DVD. I am a bit of a fan.

I too am eager to read Holly Black's new book.

I hope you enjoy all your new books. Happy reading!; March 6, 2010 11:55 PM

BethDazzled said...: Hey! It was great meeting you & everyone else & Lauren (obviously!) at Borders in Ann Arbor today. Thanks for making me feel a little less old around all the youngins. LOL

Have you read All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab? The cover is just like Before I Fall's. It's full of forlorned love, mystery and the all around snobbery of private schools.

The ending surprised me, but I'm notorious for blindly believing what the author wants me to believe. You should check it out.; March 7, 2010 4:08 PM
