That sucks. Weekend! And spring break next week!!!Finally you have a picture! And it looks delicious...
You don't need to apologize? (:I guess. That's what you are saying about yourself when you put that picture there... or you really like muffins.
what!? lol. Um well it reminds me a lot of the Maze Runner and I really don't want it to. I hope it's great on it's own.
*sigh*Just tell me. It's actually pretty funny and not annoying. I didn't think I sounded annoyed... sorry about that.*sputters* The Maze Runner is amazing! And you're a guy! You're kind of obligated to read it :D
Red Scarf Girl is good! and I can't find Lockdown or the Maze Runner anywhere!And the one dude who has The Maze Runner really doesn't like me, so he won't lend it to me. X(
Oh, I meant about guessing it was one of the Morrow twins' book. I'm not usually good with that sort of thing!!
oh hahaha omg that's not what I meant! I meant that I knew that you meant it about guessing who it was? no, wait that doesn't make sense.I knew that you meant it about guessing it was one of the Morrow twins' books. I did NOT mean it like "Yeah, I know you're not usually good with that sort of thing". Wow. Okay I hope this makes sense.

Lockdown turned out to be one of the best books I've read in several months, perhaps going as far back as last November. To make the world that he was creating in this book come alive as vividly and realistically as it does required an incredible amount of writing skill on the part of Alexander Gordon Smith, but he was up to the challenge in every way. It would have been so easy for Lockdown to have degenerated into some kind of a shocker horror-fest, but the author never allows that to happen. There's a palpable sense of hope that really buoys the story even in its darkest, most frightening moments, and that hopefulness is what will keep readers coming back eager for more. I've already read the second book, and I'm definitely going to read the rest of them as well. Well done, Alexander Gordon Smith!




Excited to read it. It should be good. I read a couple of pages before and stopped. Not that it was bad but it wasn't what I needed to read next.
