I need Pushing Daisies icons from the most recent episode. I am not even sure which I need MORE.

1. I can't believe I didn't think of that first one when I saw the episode. That definitely needs an icon.

It was one of those perfect convergences, where several types of media decided they all wanted to be AWESOME all at once.

Which I appreciate, obvs.

[fox1013]

If you made pop-up books I would love you EXTRA MUCH.

Just saying.

[fox1013]

Someone isn't trying hard enough. :(

you stood me up for our survivor date! i was very, very sad. i signed on and everything! sigh.

however, i was just about to start hunger games and now you are telling me it's a trilogy? CRAP. i am bad at waiting! should i wait, or should i not? grrrrr. crisis.

also, i had something i was going to share about YA, and i have forgotten. ho hum. maybe it will come to me later. in other YA news, i realized i have never read "jacob have i loved" because after "bridge to terebithia" i swore i hated her for making me cry like that. so maybe i'll go read that now, and await what you have to say about hunger games.

I was sad too! Well, afterwards I was sad. At the time I was too drunk to sign on.

*coughs*

I want you to read Hunger Games because I want to discuss it with you! But, yeah- I was SO UPSET when I learned it was a trilogy. THAT IS JUST MEAN, OKAY?

And, ooh, I am still carrying my Bridge to Terebithia grudge, but I adored Jacob Have I Loved anyway.

SMEKDAY SMEKDAY SMEKDAY!

I love J.Lo like crazy. And Tip. And that book.

And also Hunger Games, but with slightly less ferocious hilarity than Smekday. I'm glad you read it. I read it months and months and months ago and no one else has.

Well, if you shoot your eye lasers, then I'll have no choice but to EXPLODE YOUR HEAD!

I KNOOOOOOOOOW

OMG, and the "photographs" (I am trying to decide if the final page illustration would be a spoilery icon?) and and and I LOVED IT ALL A LOOOOOOOOOOT.

I am still trying to decide how I feel about Hunger Games. I feel in some ways like it didn't serve its purpose, and in other ways like it went above and beyond. Decisions.

Re: Well, if you shoot your eye lasers, then I'll have no choice but to EXPLODE YOUR HEAD!

I need to get myself an actual copy of this book. I have the ARC that I got from...was it BEA? Or NCTE? I forget. But anyway. It only has half of the "photographs"--they last third or so of the book just has "illustration tk

Re: Well, if you shoot your eye lasers, then I'll have no choice but to EXPLODE YOUR HEAD!

[fox1013]

I have decided to hell with spoilers, and the last page illustration is now my icon. Hee.

I have to admit, Smekday totally surprised me. I'm not sure exactly what I expected, but... not that. As much as I fully support passing thsi book off to everyone, NOW, possibly you should wait a book or two til they come to trust your opinion without question?

Re: Hunger Games- I completely agree about Katniss. I was genuinely pleasantly surprised by her. I liked her from the beginning, generally, although I was kind of irritated that she was all self sacrificing. And then she kept mentioning things she did because of the editing and how that works. And because I am me, it's amazing how much that won me over.

Thanks for the YA recommendations, I just placed both on hold at the library. Will you please update your goodreads? Pretty please.

[fox1013]

I keep forgetting I have a goodreads. I should definitely do that.
