I love when writers reply to your fangirl squealing emails.

They are rockstars <33

ETA: I ordered Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherine with the gift card!

Now I get to order Messenger and Getting the Girl with mums card.

Life's good.

Ah lucky girl Amna Looking for Alaska was great, but I didn't like Abundance as much.

I just ordered I am Messenger with my Xmas gift card cause I wanted my own copy. But I'm not sure about Getting the Girl, do you know if you have to read Fighting Reuben Wolfe first? I heard Getting is a sequel somewhere, and I can't for the life of my get a hold of Reuben. *sad face*

Karla, I think it depends how you write it. Some depressing books are marvelous, some depressing books make me so upset I can't read them.

Maybe. AC gets pretty depressing around the end, but Riley keeps the dark humor going. Like Choco said, I guess... it depends on whether it's interesting or not.

Nice choices, Amna <3

OMG I am now at the part where Howl's hair turns red and he freaks out... this movie is awesome!

Yes Peachie it is! Hair scene is one of my fave parts

Ahh I couldn't stand Forest after a while. Everything was just so...horrible. Even solid writing couldn't make me like it--just the characters and one thing after another and...*sigh*

ETA: hey jade

I have a question........


Let's say Person A was run over by a car. His wife's at home and she's a drunk. His kids are away.

....How long will it take to inform the wife/kids and which one will be informed?



.........oO

I've got a crazy twist in plan for TKIH.

Revolution's End will have a twist too, but I think people (if people ever read it) may see it coming. I'm giving out clues about it left and right.

I would thiiink it would probably be the wife, just because they would probably get the contact information through the address on Person A's license. Perhaps? Hard to say if they would phone or show up at the door and when that would be. I suppose they would need someone to ID the body? *babbles on even though she has no clue what she's talking about*

Why do so many Wii games require overpriced numchucks? *scowls*

ETA: Annnd I'm listening to Lily Allen's song, F*ck You. I keep wanting to sing along, but there are smallish children around.

I think it depends on how old the kids are. I think they'd tell both, but since the wife isn't exactly in the best state they might ask the kids (only if they're adults) to deal with the police stuff or whatever it is
