I read this too (from Lula's recommendation) it was good. Unsettling, but really good. And I take it there will be more? When you say, "End of book One," then Book Two is implied. Right?
Jeez, I need to finish this book today. I am at the part where Katniss just camped in the willow tree for the first night in the arena. Lula promises it goes faster from here on out. When Gabe goes to school, I am so reading today.
Can you give us a hint as to why this is such a good book? I'm in the middle of Barbara Walter's Audition. Maybe not Crackliterature but at least....I don't know. It's good. If you like biographies and BW is a good writer.
I have it on reserve at the library. I am currently number 7. And I already have two books going. I need to stop reading blogs and get back to reading books :-)
I totally said I would complete this one before I jumped to The Shack so before everyone and their mom reads it before me, which is what happened with Twilight, I am gitting 'er done. I did read chapter one online.
Whomever came up with the teaser first chapter download is an evil marketing genius.
I don't think I'll be on the list for this one though, unless you can talk me into it. Same reason why I have avoided reading The Road - my anxious bones can't handle the scary future! My deepest fear - not being able to feed my children.
You need to trademark that term Crackliture! So we are adding another book to the pile...the ever growing pile...
I saw your comment on Lula's about needing PSU to lose...no no no no. It did make me laugh though ;)You know, I think there is a scenario that could play out should we win the Big 10 that we would play USC in the Rose Bowl. I am assuming that USC will win the PAC-10. That would be wild and fun to watch. Smash mouth BIG 10 football versus a semi-pro team from Hollywood. Oh this season is so much fun for me this year!
I went and looked up this book on Amazon - to order it, of course. and I have to say the description scared the pants off me in many ways. As a fan of Survivor and a clueless tv junkie - I dont know if I could handle it?
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for featuring me on SITS..340 comments yesterday! WOW... I am going to need a 10 step program to get me through withdrawl!
THANKS AGAIN...it was wonderful!

I'm visiting from Lula's blog. Tell me more about this book! I'm looking for reading material for this winter.
So this book is worth the few hours needed to read it? Sounds like I read just like you - if I like it, I can't put it down.

Um...may I borrow please? I won't take it in the bathroom, promise!
Happy Spring Fling ladies! I am giving away a brand new bag by Etsy vendor "retrofied" I love the Amy Duck fabric she used and the quality is fantastic. The included coin purse is adorable. $68 value! Here is the info from her shop: This hobo bag is made with Amy Butler's Acanthus in Duck Egg on the outside and a coordinating river rock colored cotton twill inside. There is also an attached wristlet - yes - a throw back to the purses we all carried as little girls, so I hope this one makes you feel like a kid again. A large 1 1/2 inch fabric covered buttons and elastic loop hold your Duck Egg Hobo closed. There is arow of three slip pockets inside. Size: 12 inches wide at top 15 inches wide at bottom 22 inch handles 2 inches deep 11 inches tall 2 pleats add extra depth to hold lots. 1 entry, comment 2 entries follow me. Good luck! The winner of this contest and my previous contest will be announced on Wed!
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the inter
This post is brought to you by our sponsor , “ Always Eat After 7 PM ”. The opinions expressed below are my own. Following Joel's eating plan and tips has been relatively easy. As someone who wasn't much of a breakfast eater before, transitioning my eating to later in the day was totally doable. One of the things I appreciate most about “ Always Eat After 7 PM ” i s the freedom the plan provides in terms of food choices. I never feel deprived. Its also nice to be able to eat a full dinner with my family and truly enjoying it. Joel includes a great mix of personal experience, motivational talk (you can definitely see why he is a successful personal trainer!) and recipes. For me the recipes are key in my success on any diet or food plan because I'm not a natural chef. I can't just throw some items together and come up with dinner. Haha. So having recipes to follow- especially in the beginning was so important. The other benefit was that I could make dinner for the

We must discuss, please.
