OMG, I love you for reading two of the picture books I blogged about. And ish was your favorite hehehe :D
ReplyDeleteYou can talk to me about Hallowed any time! I doubt I'll be able to get the third book until much later which just makes me sad thinking about it. Have you listened to many audio books in the past? The Rise of Nine is going to be awesome! The character sounds like he's going to get into a lot of trouble. Love your quote. This is most likely my favorite one: “I look up after the last chord and smile. I tell Antony Barellan to shove it up his arse, and I see Dad clapping his hands off. I give him a little wave to show him that it's okay to be happy. I give him a little smile to show him what it looks like.” -A Little Wanting Song
What's your goal for how many books you want to read next year?
The Fault in our Stars was the book of 2012 I will not forget! Happy new year Amanda. :)
