David the research assistant says

that one of this book-reading prizes is that I have to talk about how amazingly awesome his blog is.

Here's his blog.

It's amazing. and awesome. amazingly awesome.

xo davie.

Prize time!

So, i totally didn't think that anyone would read more books than my mom, so I didn't really think of a good prize and I've been completely un-creative when it comes to thinking of prizes. But here's what I gave David for his second place finish:



1) a Windmill Watching T-shirt
and
2) David's FAVORITE book from the sample

they're coming...

(complete with a little note from David the Research Assistant!)

And in finishing this book... I am DONE!

Maybe I'll read a few more YA books in a few months. We'll have to see.

This book

made me feel kinda like going and shooting things in the woods with a bow and arrows.

Guest Book Report!

Author's Voice: "Loquacious (Wordly Wise Word!)" [page 16]. Plot: Vexatious



from my mom.

This book

was 1000x better than I thought it would be. And made me hate the fact that I suck at soccer.

guest book report from David.

This book

has a horse. And a girl. And a cougar. And was just as bad as the other book 6 I read.

guest book report from David.

This book

got read so fast that I was outwardly sad when it was ended. Because it was too soon for how much I loved it.

guest book report from David.

This book

had So. Much. Blood. And kind of made me want to be a creepy psycho-killer.

This book: Was disjointed.
The lesson: Be green, eat vegetables and be nice (or the plants will get you).

Guest Book Report!

from Barb.

this bookwas like Harry Potter on a crack binge--five times shorter and twice as scary.

This book

was worse than Sea Shadow. And now I Feel. So. Ghetto.

guest book report from David.

in the battle between me and this book

the book won.

(which means david has to read it now. heh.)

guest book report from zina.

Do you have books you won't be able to read?

1) No worries. I'm already so amazed/grateful/awed at how much y'all have done that I don't think I'm capable of getting upset at any of y'all ever again.

2) Could you let me know which ones, though? I've got some yappy research assistants here who are whining about needing more to do.

Guest Book Report!

from Barb.

this booksharply contrasted the boy's thoughts (sex, f-word, i'm gonna punch that guy out) and the girl's thoughts (i'm unsure of myself, that girl is prettier than me, i want to kiss that boy) which kind of ruined it for me.

Guest Book Report!

from my mom.

This bookwas absolutely charming. It is going in my permanent library.

Guest Book Report!

from David.

this book
totally made fun of organized religion, Harry Potter, and Wal-mart. Which means I loved it. A whole friggin' lot.
