Yeah, I was surprised how many things have won awards about which I had no idea. I bet you could complete this without even trying.

I swore I’d stay away from challenges for a bit this summer because I want to just whim read, but I may be able to do this one and read on a whim at the same time!!!

Don’t mention it, your blog is great, I especially like the name, I’ll be looking out for your flashy punctuation, that’s hilarious.

Lol! I try to bury my comma splices (or hide them by distracting readers with flashier punctuation) instead of showing them off.

Thanks for the blogroll!

Speaker of the Dead I actually picked up because you were so enthusiastic about it, so really, the pressure is on you. American Gods I have a solid feeling about. I think my list rocks too, thanks.

Ooh, you’re reading my two favorite books ever! No pressure there. Speaker for the Dead is my favorite book, by my favorite author and American Gods is my favorite book of Gaiman’s. Excellent choices…I may do this challege too. Your list rocks!

Thanks! I’m technically not new to the blogging world, just new to this blog, writing with a real theme, and using complete sentences. I have an unfocued, rambly, crappy blog that I love over at http://inthewhat.blogspot.com The theme of that blog is comma splices.

ANYWAY, I read Ender’s Game years ago, so I’ll need some crib notes to refresh myself. And by ‘crib notes’ I mean Wikipedia.

P.S. I like your writing, so as soon as I get my butt in motion with a blogroll, you’re so invited.

Nice list! I’ve read American Gods, Dune, Speaker for the Dead, and The Shipping News.

I love that you picked American Gods for the Bram Stoker award. So fitting, yet not (I believe) how this book is generally classified.

And, I’m assuming you’ve read Ender’s Game already? You’re in for a nice change of pace with Speaker for the Dead; it shifts gears completely.

Welcome to the blogging world; I’ve been enjoying your Once Upon a Time Challenge reviews!
