Just a fascinating take on the whole steampunk genre. The living airship concept is a bit like Moia on Farscape if anybody has seen the show. The book is this wacky combo of Phillip Reeves and... I don't even know. Illustrations are fab and the characters are really interesting. Might be a book appreciated by adults more than actual teens (our library's copy as only been checked out to yours truly) but we'll have to see. Leviathan is sooooo good.

Everyone seems to have it but little meeeeee. Nope, I haven’t seen Leviathan in person — just photos on blogs. Everyone seems to have it but little meeeeee.

He had a good game again overall, but those interceptions and sacks were indeed a doozy for his stats :/ I'm sure he didn't like that!! Deslily, I'm giving away 4 books from my TO BE READ piles!! I feel this need to keep books that I've already read :p Don't know why. Even if I'll never read them again, lol. I just like to look at them. But there are some books sitting on my shelf that I know I'll never read. I actually still haven't finished Gil's!! That's what I get for having 4 books going at once!! I'm about to go sit in the tub and try to finish The Wild Things so I can knock at least one of them off. Carl's challenges do always seem to go by really fast :( That is sad. Though at the same time I'm glad they don't last all year because they can lose that special quality. Debi, As I've mentioned on your blog and in numerous emails and twitter, I'M SO SORRY!!!! Do you get that I feel horrible yet :p Cuz I really do :p I just couldn't help myself!! At least it's not as bad as it could've been because let me tell you, it could've been real bad, lol. I'll let you rationalize bad behavior this time because I definitely need a cop out myself :p Vivieene, The Boneshaker cover is so good!! I really want to dig into all of the books I bought yesterday!! They look so great! Bart, Well you just make me feel so better :p At least you got yours from a charity shop!! I went out and paid full price for mine, lol. I'm glad someone doesn't mind my cursing, lol....And Boneshaker really does look incredible...have you checked out Ekaterina Sedia's Alchemy of Stone yet? It's another great looking steampunk novel with a cool cover...Shanra sent it to me but I haven't read it yet! Kiirstin, October?! of next year?! Why must they make us wait so long :p Oh well, I'll have plenty to read until then. Can't wait for Boneshaker! Care, LOL...I'm in love with that acronym :p Can you just follow me around and say things like that comment all the time :p You make me feel much better. And I agree with you on Brees' hair. We just give him a hard time down here all the time. He filmed a bunch of local commercials too when it was really bad, so he has these tv spots that do nothing for him popping up all the time, lol. Chelle, You MUST read Four and Twenty Blackbirds!! no steampunk involved in that one, but it's a fantastic southern gothic ghost story. I was in love with it. I read it during our last hurricane evacuation and it totally took me away from all of the drama that was going on :p Steph, I'm really looking forward to it!! Diane, Looks like a lot of people have! Looking forward to it! Terri, I'm so glad to hear that :D It thrills me when people read GNs for the first time and really enjoy them!! I have tons of recommendations for you!! Just go check out my books read tab up on the top. I don't think there's a single one that I haven't loved. The Fables series is wonderful though. He really did a fantastic job with it so far. You could give pretty much anyone the bad bloggers point at this point! Eva, I'm very tempted just to start reading it now!! Only I have to finish the other 4 books that I had started before the readathon :p I really don't need to start a 5th book :p And I'm glad you're enjoying the Saints!! They're such a fun team!! We really have the best fans and the most loyal fans and we have so many fun traditions. We're playing Monday night next week at home so it will be one hell of a game to watch on TV!!! Our home games are crazy and this one is really going to be crazy because we're playing the Falcons who are our biggest division rivals. You should definitely watch it!! It starts at 7:30 next Monday our time which I guess would be 6:30 your time! :D Vasilly, Aw, you're all making me feel so much better :p I just loved March of the Wooden Soldiers and I can't wait to get my grubbly little claws into #5! I really would like to get some reviews written up tonight but I'm not feeling up to writing reviews :( I think it's going to have to wait...

So I think I might have a team! Now I just have to convince my father to watch the games. :p He has football on all Sunday and Monday night, but he gets a bit touchy if I suggest a team, lol.

Just a lover of literature! =) March of the Wooden Soldiers is such a great book!!!!!!! There's no surprise that you had to have Fables #5, which is one of my favorites! I have just as many reviews to write as you do. Hopefully I can churn half of them out. Happy reading! You are not a bad person.

I've been hearing so much about Fables and I LOVE fairy tales and re-tellings, so I'm thinking I need to go get Fables No. 1. I'm not sure who I'll name the "bad blogger" on this one!

It was my first C. Priest novel, but it certainly won't be my last. I told myself I was going to only read the library copy of Leviathan, but, well, yeah...That didn't work out so well. Looking forward to starting that one real soon. Boneshaker was so very good! It was my first C. Priest novel, but it certainly won’t be my last.
