    you're reading Coraline! The movie was so so great. You have to see it - I really think you'd love it. And the soundtrack is beautiful as well

    Oh I just realized I typed Royal Blood as the fifth novel, but I think it's the sixth ^^; It irritates me that people don't realize you can read both advanced novels and things like Twilight as well! Did you like the Twilight movie?

    Hi. Thanks for the invite!! I've seen you around, I think on Haley's page and then just recently on Fathom's. I always thought about asking you, cos we have a fair degree of cross interests, not the least of which is the oriental concerns.
    Thanks again. Be talking to you .
    Hope you see something on my listings that might interest you.

    Honestly, it was a little difficult for me to stick with it. It wasn't exactly what I expected, I really wanted to enjoy it. I might re-read it later and have a different opinion, though!

    I didn't really like "Eeeee Eee Eeee". I thought I would enjoy it because it is supposed to have talking animals connecting with the main character, but it was just a little too out there and random for me. The events of the book seemed like all random tidbits put together to make a novel, making no real story line. This is just my opinion though, I would recommend maybe picking it up a book store or library and reading a couple pages of it first.

    I see you rated "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" highly, which makes me want to read it now. I picked it up from a thrift store a couple months ago and every time I pick a new book to read I always look at it, but haven't read it yet.
