That's cute that Michelle took the time to read to you.

(I had to come up with something new)

Hah, the funny thing about that comments is the fact that Michelle hates HATES to read.
She did like the concept of the book. She read the back cover and said that it sounded very interesting. But she knows that she would nevre get past page 5. That's just how she is. She will wait for the movie.
Wheezy better hire me to play the part of Melinda. *giggle*

LOL. I told Wheezy that I could totally see Ellen Page playing Janey.

I really enjoyed the book. Great concept.

My copy is on it's way to me. Can't wait! I'm sooo looking forward to reading it.

I'm pretty sure Melinda was named after me. *grin*

My copy came about 2 hours ago and instantly moved to the top of my read pile. I'll be able to read it tomorrow morning.

I did a Superman-style page-through when I opened the box - and I found you! Aren't I smart?

I think I may read it on the plane.

I'm jealous so many peeps have had Wheezy meets!

*kicks bravie* I just read that Janey's mom is an alcoholic.

I think I may have been one of the first to get it (I've had it about two weeks now). <-- that's me gloating.

I was disappointed there were no dreams about a floating baby-head. I think the premise could have worked beautifully.

you're a bossy bitch, ain'tcha?

I've had my copy for two or three weeks, but my kiddo has it so I'm waiting and waiting for him to finish it. I need to check up on him. Hrm.

Bought it...even paid full price. :-) It was such a cool moment to walk into Borders, stroll to the young adults section and find it on the "new releases" shelf. YAY!!!

Is that Buggy in the acknowledgments of her book? And Supes? Inquiring minds want to know. I didn't immediately recognize any other names.

Blogger Swami said...

Kim - yes. Many of the acknowledged are former SB and current Circle Of people.

It's about time you are good for something other than Blogging, Swami. Sheesh.

You kill me, Kim.
So did Wheeze.

Blogger Buggy said...

Yes, that's me!
( I had to email her because I was stunned and just couldn't believe it was me) Sami and Landru, and Supes and Dweeze are the other ones I know. Ya'll know Toots too.

It's a good story, I finished mine yesterday ( but I'd read an earlier version about a year ago)
The characters are great and I think readers are going to want to know what happens to Janie and Cabel. I think there is talk of a third book in the series.

I am so jealous of Breezy, was bummed when the publisher cancelled Dallas, but hopefully she'll get here sometime, for this book or the next.

DD finished it yesterday and said it was awesome! She can't wait until Fade comes out.

Mine was delivered this past Monday and is on the top of my to-read pile! *hops*

So proud of our Wheezy! *swoon*

*giggle* I'm so star struck. Seriously, I'm going to brag to all my friends about the cool author I know and all the smart peeps that made it into the acknowledgments.

OMG!

You guys make me blush.

Thanks to all of you for buying the book and for reading it too!

Breezy, it was awesome to see you again and meet your lovely breezygirl.

And then there's brazen gravy...

Hmmm.

Wheeze needs to write a book called, "Sleep." That's all I want to do after a full day of traveling in Australia. I wrote a little about it in my blog. I have a picture of myself with a torch and it was not snuffed out! I saw them make fire while rubbing sticks together. It took about 2 mins!

On Good Friday, restaurants charged a 15% surcharge and wouldn't serve alcohol unless you ordered food. The fines for not wearing seat belts or speeding are doubled on a holiday, too!
