If you guys are interested, the author of Warm Bodies is doing an AMA ("ask me anything", but in the literal sense, not the LJ community sense - basically you can ask him whatever you want, and he'll hopefully answer) on reddit.

(He's doing it even if you're not interested...)

Warm Bodies

It's been a while since this community was really active, but just wondered if anyone had seen the trailer for Warm Bodies and what you thought of it. The film version comes out, at least in the US, on February 1st. Anyone planning on seeing it when it comes out on the big screen?

Things have been a bit quiet around here lately, so I'm wondering what suggestions you have for stirring things up a bit. What would make you more likely to participate?

Suggestions/ideas/brainstorming all appreciated!

So, who is reading The Gargoyle? How far along are you? What are your current thoughts? Try to keep any spoilers out of it. I just want your opinion thus far.

I'm about 120 pages in. I like it. I'm finding it very, very interesting.

The Night Circus review

So it's April 1st and I just finished this book. I didn't finish the March book in March. COME AT ME, BRO.

4/5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. I didn't find it as engrossing as I've heard many people do, and I felt kind of neutral about it until about a quarter of the way through, but the last hundred pages or so were very fraught with tension. I ( Read more... )

I finished the book yesterday night and noticed that there is what Wikipedia describes as an "interactive game" about/on the book at the book's website. Has anyone done that and can share their experiences? I'm curious if it's worth it. I'm wondering if it's kinda like what Pottermore was supposed to be like.

Thanks for any insights.
