You replied so fast, ahah!

Anyways, yep ^_^ almost on to the romance novels! Whee :D
I'm a bit at lost as to where to start, Viki Lewis Thompson or Alexandra Potter?

I'd start with Vicky Lewis Thompson. She's the super bestest writer - ever. Or you could start with Alexandra Potter to have something to look forward too. :o)

Well, I have two of hers, so I guess I'll go VLT, Potter and VLT again.
Unless I read them all at the same time. :D

I still don't have a picspam of Bradley (I'll make it up eventually, I swear) but somebody just posted a picspam of Colin! http://community.livejournal.com/wewerefighters/11261.html?mode=reply
So at least one of us is happy?

o__O I considered re-reading the Bones book earlier today, and realized that I should tell you about it. And then you say you've just bought it.

*brain fries*

Anyways.... books! The Bones one is good (though maybe my opinion is biased because I'll love justabout anything that's about Bones? xD *obsession*). Nah, seriously, it's good.

Patricia Cornwell is legendary. If ever you want to borrow a book from me, just ask. I have almost all of hers.

Xxx

How? Whut?
*brain fries with you*
(I LOVE SUCH COINCIDENCES)

I'm sure I'll probably be biased too.
Hey, is there any Booth/Bones subtext in the books? I hope so.

Yeah, I love Cornwell. I'll put that offer on hold though, until my book pile diminishes just a bit. -_-' I still have a couple of unread Reichs and Cornwell books.

Coincidences ftw. Or maybe I'm just psychic ;)

Go read the book and see for yourself! (You, on the other hand, are clearly NOT psychic.)

Oy! No -_-' smiley faces regarding big book piles! The correct smileys to use for an overload of delicious reading material are :D :) or =] ... and such.

How many books are in your book pile?

Xxx

Hey! I have MAD mental skillz. Clearly.

My book pile is both -_-' and :DDDDDDDDDD. I'm not running out of books! This is a good thing (I always have something to read) and a bad thing (I have the impression I'm not reading anything).
I have a reading list to see what I read, but I'm not sure it's helping.

Okay. So I actually went to do a quick count, because last time I checked was a year and a half ago.
Book Pile: around 60 books
Ebook Folder (on 3 different computers, because I am crash Queen): 40 e-books (ALL GOT FOR FREE)
eReader Folder: 60 e-books (60% of which are short stories)

You know if I buy ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from now to next year, I have some chances of getting it to around 30 books.
Which won't happen, since I already have 3 books pre-ordered. HAH.

And none of this takes into account the fanfiction I read, or what's on my fanfiction to-read list.

I'm seeing Watchmen tonight. :D I'm so excited. I still haven't read it because I keep forgetting to get it off my boyfriend but I hope I still enjoy it.

I only have the luck to read Watchmen before it comes out because I pawned it from a friend in a book exchange. It was really lucky that I got it just as the movie came out.

Have fun seeing it! I'm excited to see what they did with the movie! Despite all the hard core fans saying that it'll be a travesty. :D

Watchmen! :D I'm seeing the film tonight, at one minute past midnight - because it's not out here yet, don't ask me why. Tried to persuade people to dress up for it, but failed...

I love Dr Manhattan <3

I hate pseudo-Alexander blow-up doll. I wanted to wring his neck while reading the end of the series. THE PRETENTIOUS ARROGANT SNOT. I'm glad Roscharch will have the last word.
