What kind of childhood are you talking about?

Elementary school?

Because I really liked the Magic Treehouse in 2nd grade and after that Harry Potter and Narnia.

I haven't gotten it, but Deerskin confused me very much. I believe that was written in first person as well. Robin Mckinely's books are either very good or very bad, in my opinion.

Nice. You'll recognize me as Cynthia. It's not been helpful, though - so you'll have to click on the link. I was feeling a bit low on inspiration, so it's not that good, but it's fair.

I liked the one about Pemberly dancing. Funny Funny Funny.

I'll bet there are going to be some confused people there, the reviews seem somewhat....different from each other. ><

I hate paperbacks. I like to keep my books very pristine, and while this is possible with paperbacks: I'm prone to mishaps.

I have all of Wolverton's Runelords books except for Worldbinder in hard cover. I was introduced to this from Brandon, by the way. I was going to wait for the paperback to come out because I like them all to be uniform. I managed to last about two weeks.

I managed to get my Elantris hard cover copy severely water damaged (At least I think so) and I lost my Final Empire at school. I tend to lose things when I'm overwhelmed, no matter how much I check back.

I also have only one Dragonlance book in hardcover, which really irritates me. I don't have any Sanderson books in paperback, which is good.

I prefer Hard Covers. All of my paperbacks I try very hard not to bend the cover or crease the spine, and I've gotten my friends to get obsessed with it, too ^^

On a completely different note: I wanted to join the Scholastic arts and writing contest with writing this time because my Art teacher submitted my work last time but I can't because I don't have a creative writing teacher because the evil witch left so I got stuck with Photography which I'm terrible at.

Well, This is a very hard decision, and I'll give it a shot.

I think the best one to date out of all the horrors, you would think - would be a fairy. You'd think of a sparrowman from Peter Pan. I don't think sparrow man. I think of a dallying Oberon. I don't want to be a Titania. They're terribly malicious towards each other, and that would be a terrible person to date.

I definitely would not date a zombie, for how boring would that be? Sitting through a movie like Sean of the Dead and having him groan and moan throughout the whole movie. Or not even responding when I ask him a question? Terrible.

I would definitely not date a superhero either. Think pompous, irritatingly arrogant, and completely absorbed with his hair looking just so! No intelligence. Think - If I like playing games that include a certain amount of risk, would he not come flying up to save me? Would he not be too clingly if I were to dump his ass? Yah. You see where I'm going here.

A werewolf - sure, he may be normal for the majority of the month. A couple of days without seeing him, or worse- seeing him. Don't you think that he would be a bit feral, even when the full moon wasn't out? A little hairy, a little violent?

So, I would date a vampire. I know what you're thinking. WHAT? who would be so stupid as to date a vampire? Well, they're nocturnal for one thing, and I like the night. I wouldn't have to see him that often even if I didn't like him. Usually they're very intelligent, have a nice, victorian sense of style. They live in castles, they have great cereal. They have a sense of humor, if a little cold. Count Chocula would be nice to have around.

Okaaaaaaaay. I can't even tell if you're being sarcastic or if you just didn't read my post.

Maybe it is the fact that "Brandon" slipped in "Wasing is of Wasing not" in the form of Quentin. Something that Spook certainly would say, and I believe that he did. Sneaky, Brandon, very sneaky. I was overjoyed to find it, though. I absolutely adored Alcatraz. I thought it was infectiously sarcastic and witty and there is no parallel. There better be another one.

So, I was at borders in the fantasy section. I practically got the vapors when they expanded on the entire store and made the bookshelves higher, therefore making the fantasy section much larger. (they still only have like...one copy of both of Brandon's books.) And, you know how every once and a while they display the books so that you can see their entire covers...well I did something that perhaps Brandon will be proud of. It wasn't really bad or anything, on my part. They put Scalzi's book before Mistborn on the little shelf. Even though Scalzi's name is distinctly after Brandon's in the alphabet. I mean, I was steamed. I swear Brandon, you have me brainwashed. I was mortified that they should put Brandon after Scalzi. I have read a fair few of fantasy books, and none can hold a magic ball of light to Brandon's works. High school sucks, so I wish mistborn two would have come out sooner.

I'm really excited about baby sanderson. Know what baby x is going to be yet?
