Which is going to mess with my head when I read your steamy scenes.<br /><br />Meghan, thanks for the sunshine award. Like the doors on the Starship Heart of Gold, it is our pleasure to open for you, and our satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done. <br /><br />Angela, thanks for commenting. Your observation that there is nothing better than being surprised in a book, makes me think we should start of a list of comparable exeriences. What is as good as a good read? I'm willing to test the experiences of owning a Ducati motorcycle and a Laguna bandsaw.Kurt Hampehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657898257154324404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-46671429900116829312012-03-15T13:40:03.608-04:002012-03-15T13:40:03.608-04:00I've heard some good buzz about Katana, so con...I've heard some good buzz about Katana, so congrats to Cole. I also read Article 5, and it was a great read. :) Plus Kristen is the nicest person ever! <br /><br />To me, there's nothing better than being surprised in a book. I love authors who can manipulate a reader into expecting X, but then having Y happen instead, which is even that much more awesome than X would have been.Angela Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808259088625142389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-46969214621506595632012-03-15T13:22:23.658-04:002012-03-15T13:22:23.658-04:00Just wanted to let you know that there is an award...Just wanted to let you know that there is an award for you on my blog!

I don't like endings that are too outrageous to ever believe, nor do i like ones that make me feel like i've just watched an episode of Care Bears.Colette Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883069918152729422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-57764251090537007502012-03-13T15:36:44.910-04:002012-03-13T15:36:44.910-04:00Vicky,

And I'm willing to store them for you--maybe give them a little exercise.<br /><br />Kristen,<br />You're welcome for the shout out. I'm about halfway through A5.

Thanks!<br /><br />Regarding predictability: Am I lame if I say I don't like surprises? I mean, I like a little bit of a surprise...but I like the illusion that I'm clever enough to have solved the mystery (if there is one) myself. :)Kristen Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740163557500736313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-43071357719888073462012-03-12T14:13:00.163-04:002012-03-12T14:13:00.163-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kristen Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740163557500736313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-69022651834815035322012-03-12T12:17:44.001-04:002012-03-12T12:17:44.001-04:00Wow, Carmichael's is the place to be!

I just finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor which kept me guessing until the very end, but it all came together. And then, she ended with the worst 3 words ever... "to be continued." But that's another topic for another post!Kristin Lenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257484196449105801noreply@blogger.com
