Hold your title high up in the sky.<br /><br />Robin--I enjoy Koontz stuff, though I have not read the series you suggested. I have heard good things about Brandon. Thanks for the suggestions.<br /><br />L.T.--c'mon, short circuited at speedos? Girls dig guys who can pull off a good speedo.

I love--so...For adult reads, check out Dean Koontz. I love--sorry, not emphatic enough--LLLOOVVE--his Odd Thomas and Frankenstein series. He mostly writes in the "horror" genre (his most recent book is about a heart transplant donor who comes back for what's hers: entitled "Your Heart Belongs to Me") and I don't like horror much at all, but Odd Thomas and Frankenstein make me almost brave enough....<br /><br />Also ANYTHING by Brandon Sanderson. Of course. He has a YA series that is hilarity itself, but his adult epic fantasy books are crazy-good. My aspiring-writer friend threw his copy across the room because he was so disgusted at how good Brandon was. Is. Whatever. Of course, anyone picked to replace Robert Jordan has to be good, but Brandon is amazing.<br /><br />So say I.<br /><br />Alas, I have nothing to add to the current Bachelor conversation. I watched a series or two years ago, but not recently. I always thought it was a bit ichy that the Bachelor was so cavalier about kissing and sleeping with all the girls before he'd pick. Of course, all the virgins left the first night, but I couldn't feel at all good about a guy who'd "sample the goods" so blatantly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413777557796110450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-9488231508016421962010-02-01T12:03:11.082-08:002010-02-01T12:03:11.082-08:00I've never been able to stomach The Bachelor. ...I've never been able to stomach The Bachelor. Maybe because growing up there were 20 Laurels in my ward and only 2 viable Priests, so we practically had our own version going on in real life. (Which by the way, if it was a game I totally won! Although the joke's on me because the guy wasn't that great.)<br />I've been meaning to read Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for a while now. Maybe I will put it on hold at the library again.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334709541074434477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-90986856291345895582010-02-01T11:40:43.568-08:002010-02-01T11:40:43.568-08:00So Ali was my favorite on the first night, but now...So Ali was my favorite on the first night, but now I can't stand her. I'm with Nkrell, Ali is a total witch. <br /><br />I actually Gia. She seems the most "real" out of all of the girls, and she stay away from all the catty behaivor.<br /><br />Every season, Brick says he's not going to watch with me, but he always gets sucked right in.

So dramatic. Just show up at the season finale party and say things like--'oh yeah, she is the worst...can you believe they made out...how hott! is Jake without his shirt.' You do all that, and you pretty much will fit in.<br /><br />nkrell--OH NO YOU DID NOT just call out Ali! Yeah, she is a little witchy. I still like Corrie, but I think she is soon gone.

I have no idea how much of the Bachelor is actually true and how much is made up to make for funny tv.<br /><br />WW--As crazy as it sounds, I would not be shocked if he ends up with Vienna. For her to still be around makes me think that shirtless Jake really likes her.<br /><br />Britt--I have been surprised by the book. It is much more background story and weaving a long tale than what I expected. I am only half way through so I will be curious to see if I still like it when I am finished.Samhttp://www.samandbrodi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-7248208180235425072010-02-01T08:49:16.690-08:002010-02-01T08:49:16.690-08:00LOL Great post.

He likes Roslyn, among many other lame choices, but I've officially nixed Roslyn because of the Bachelor. And all I can think of is "ROZ!" whenever I hear the name.<br /><br />Your post makes me want to have my husband blog again.

I'd rather be sucked in by fiction, so I can leave this dreary world behind. ;)<br /><br />I really want to read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
