Be prepared to fall head-over-heels in love with The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I finished it yesterday and all other books now pale in comparison when I pick them up to try and read them.

It is BRILLIANT!

That's what I've been told by my friend ;) We shall see!

*still never read The Hunger Games* haha

I remember learning about the comedien/comedienne thing in French class and being confused, but just generally accepting it as one of those things. There are a bunch of really weird words/phrases in English too that seem to make no sense. I just can't think of any right now.

Yeah sometimes the French language is weird like that.

Ah wait, here's maybe what you're talking about:

"tu me manques" = "I miss you"
"je te manque" = "you miss me"

That is weird, but I was actually thinking about English expressions like "break a leg," things along those lines. Just how all languages have their own oddities. =)

I know, Rhev is great! I loved Lover Avenged. The next book is fantastic too.

There's No Place Like Here by Cecelia Ahern: I need to read this. I have it and I love the other two you'd mentioned so I need to get to this one. She really is a fantastic writer.

Oh you read Lover Mine. Cool. I wasn't super into Xhex and John but I loved the story and I wouldn't mind the story you described for Qhuinn. I'm mildly in love with him.

Oh yes, Immortal Highlander. I love Adam. I think my favs are Daegus, Adam and Cian. But yeah... gotta love Adam. I can't wait for the final Fever book! I can't believe we have to wait until next year.

I haven't read Lover Mine actually. I'm getting it because I want to read it on paper :)

For a while my fave Highlander was Grimm, but when I got to Adam I just couldn't resist him, he's so much fun. Loved Cian and Dageus too, now you mention them :) Scrumptious men, the lot of them!

Oh. Well, despite my dislike for Xhex and John in the past... their book was great.

I did like Grimm too. Yeah a lot of this Highlanders were great.
