Aweso...Woooo, <I>The Dark Night</I>, the good version too. Awesome! :) And thank you for reminding me of Mara. See, in school we read the Bronze Bow instead and I was traumatized. Then, years later (on your blog), I kept hearing how good it was. Totally forgot I wanted to read this. :Dlittle alyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06526474330761827118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-16956635000634965222008-10-20T08:45:00.000-07:002008-10-20T08:45:00.000-07:00Hi dudes!

Mmmuwahahahaha!<BR/><BR/>Ok maybe it is time to take those meds :p<BR/><BR/>And dude, of COURSE I used the 'misbeggoten' quote :p Damn I love that book!<BR/><BR/>Bridget Locke--*highfive* Indeed! Kim Harrison is flat out awesome, and I cannot get enough of her Rachel Morgan series! I'm excited for her upcoming YA series too--her writing is fantastic.<BR/><BR/>Marg--Oooh! Challenge! Would you be interested in reading one of them for a Dare?? ;)<BR/><BR/>Karen! *hugs* Fancy seeing you here :p Dude, you must read the Dark Tower books! Epic Fantasy + Sci Fi + Spaghetti Western. Who doesn't love that formula? AND for the romance fans in the house, there's some of that too. <BR/><BR/><I>It</I> is, for lack of a better word, awesome. Freaking awesome. And, I'm rereading it right now, so I'm right back into the superlatives :p And Mara is a wonderful YA novel, the history is so rich, the characters so very real :) I highly recommend it! And Dark Knight Returns? Yeeeaaaaah, baby.<BR/><BR/>Katie--word! 'Mindblowing' 'masterpiece' is probably the best way to describe it. And I see you are bringing The Stand--we can swap :p<BR/><BR/>Jenre--I feel ya. That's about when I read the book as well, and it has definitely stayed with me over the years. I actually liked the TV adaptation though! It's a lot more toned down, but I thought the casting for the kids was pretty good (Jonathan Brandeis, SETH GREEN! lol)--plus, I don't think it can get any better than Tim Curry as Pennywise. *shudders*<BR/><BR/>That said, I do think the adults were not so great.

I even followed you over here from The Booksmugglers... :) I think I must've missed Ana's turn. *makes a note to check archives*<BR/><BR/>Great choices here. I haven't read much of these at all! I love Stephen King, but I've never read the Dark Tower series. I agree about IT, though. Haven't read it for a long, long time, but I remember it being filled with compassion and warmth - alongside all the terror. Strange but true...<BR/><BR/>I've never even HEARD of 'Mara'. Wow... So many great books to read thanks to you girls. *loves Thea and Ana*<BR/><BR/>The Dark Knight...

Go Sheftu!), I read it earlier this year and it is really really good. <BR/><BR/>Now you behave Thea! None of this talk of world domination again okay? It's alright.
