When did ttyl become ttul, and am I the only person who thinks that meta-abbreviation is horribly wrong??

Hang on, she has 9 days to train and she becomes one of the best fighters they have after being non-athletic all her life? Wouldn't it take more than 9 days just to build the muscles needed, even if she's a prodigy? Seriously?

Off to a great start -- I love the premise, and the writing is gorgeous.

Ok, just how many famous people is it possible to know through what is apparently the universe's most convenient babysitting network?

"Every human who wants to experience the dark delirium of a vampire's bite is so whiny! I wish we attracted the taciturn."

Twilight is to Team Human as 50 Shades of Gray is to Ellen's audiobook parody of it.

"'A vampire who wants to go to high school?' I said. 'That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.'" Oh, Team Human, I like you already.

This may turn out to be my favorite zombie apocalypse book

This is really good so far. Some interesting parallels to How I Live Now, oddly enough.

never mind...

the record for this seems to be all in German. I am not reading it in German. I am reading the translation, which has apparently not made it to Goodreads...

Flap copy proclaims "grimly plausible dystopian future." Cover art screams "supernatural romance on the CW." Which one is true? Stay tuned...

"How hard can it be to turn a bunch of angsty teens evil?" = something every aspiring evil librarian has surely thought at some point

Vampires never drink water but they still need to pee? They hate fruit but they're a-ok with pastries? The sun turns them into spongy yellow goo? This book is putting the sparkles in perspective...

Wait, was that what I think it was? Do vampires have sex with their elbows and armpits? Oh, YA lit...

The tension is too much for me, I am mangling the galley. This is SO GOOD. Everyone go read this.

Holy shit this is good.

Lightbulb! I just figured out where the word "mayday" comes from. Also, this book is really good.

First impression: Generation Dead meets Veronica Mars with werewolf virus a la Peeps. Promising, but we'll see where it goes.

I AM SO EXCITED

There's a lot to like here, but damn this girl is dumb. The most realistic ending at this point would be that she gets every other character killed for knowing her.

This book is INSANE!
