YES I can't wait for the next book! ;D Does anyone know what day it's coming out?
I think Candy's new found sexuality will be "attraction-to-orange-web-footed-creatures-like-Malingo". I don't know what I'll do if Candy and Malingo don't get together... they're so adorable ;D
So where'd you hear about that, Kitrina? Was it in an interview?

I know, they just have to get together! Malingo is so great! You know Clive Barker and his lover (I don't know his name) have a parrot they named Malingo. I just thought that was funny, You probably read that, it was on the book jacket cover.
Yes, I believe so. I was bored, so I did a search for Clive Barker or Abarat or something, and it brought me to a ton of interviews and things like that. It was pretty cool.

Ah... I've got the paperback version, since it was the only version I could find in the bookstore, so there wasn't any jacket I could read stuff on... hehe, I'm now going to HAVE to go searching for interviews ;D

I prefer buying books, as there's something about library that are cold and impersonal and it makes the reading less enjoyable. I also prefer going to Barnes and Noble than my library, because Barnes and Noble is...I dunno. I just love it... My library is the WORST but the next town over has the most wonderful library...They're expanding my library, though. It'll probably take millions of years...I'm upset because the old library had so many childhoold memories, so I have to go over the old description in my mind every day. Some goes to the old park, before the redid that, too. Even though I don't go to the park. I'm rambling. Argh.

I love being in the library, or, even better, Barnes & Noble...it's my heaven. I'm fine borrowing books from the library, though owning them is, of course, better.

I love Barnes & Noble. There's a really good book store in Princeton called Micawber Books and it's so fun. They have so many books and they order out of print books specially and the people are really nice and there's a used and new section. They have comfy louge chairs. I love that store. I also love hte smell of new books. hehe.

Barnes & Noble is great [especially the Starbucks that comes with some *sighs*, but Borders is really awesome, too. When I grow up, I believe that'a what I want to own, Not literally, I want to make my own in an old house or something. I wanted to own a library, but then my mom reminded me, that libraries are free, so I wouldn't be making any money. Money isn't that important to me, it's just, well, I kind of have to survive, you know? If I win the lottery as a young adult, or inherit enough money to support me for the rest of my life, that's what I would do. I also love hte smell of new books Mmm, I love the smell of new books, too (as does my sister)!

I don't really like Borders. It's not as fun as B & N...The B & N at Market Fair has a Starbucks and then at the other end of the building there's a Starbucks, so Starbucks is competing with itself...Maybe it's like how at some malls there's a built in Auntie Anne's and then there will be a booth on a different floor.

I just want to spend a day at Barnes and Noble in one of their armchairs, reading, alone. But my mum doesn't want to drive me there, and mt dad....cuh.

Oh, ladybug, that's because the Starbucks at B & N isn't really Starbucks. It's "Barnes & Noble serving Starbucks". I found that out when my sister tried using a Starbucks coupon there. They told her it wouldn't work because it wasn't Starbuck, it was B & N serving Starbucks. So, B & N gets the money for it, instead of Starbucks.

I would never be able to get used to reading in a bookstore... it makes me feel like I'm loitering and/or cheating the system by reading it without buying it.

I Like to buy books instead of borrow them. But I love my Libary. My Library Barely Has Any Good Books So I Have to Go To The One In The Nearest City. There it Has tons of books. Unfortunatlely, They are closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, Which Really Sucks.
