I'm always happy when I find new books to LOVE, not just like :)<br /><br />Becca - That's exactly how I felt about it.<br /><br />Bea - It's good - you'll love it!<br /><br />Amanda - I've read several of Condie's books (she's written a handful of YA LDS novels), and MATCHED is, by far, her best book yet. I can't wait for the sequels either.<br /><br />Susan - LOL. Well, my ARC got really bent in the mail, so I spent several weeks trying to straighten it out before I gave up and just read the darn thing. I really did love the book, even if reading a bent copy just about drove me mad.<br /><br />We really are book twins, aren't we? Or book triplets, perhaps, with Melissa??<br /><br />Juju - Can't wait to see what you think of it!<br /><br />Melissa - LOL! It's uncanny, isn't it? Check out my comment to Susan above - we could be triplets!<br /><br />T - I'm glad you loved INCARCERON. I thought it was awesome! I haven't heard of ANTHEM - sounds like one I need to check out.<br /><br />Cialina - MATCHED has gotten so much buzz that I keep forgetting it's not even out yet. I was thrilled to get my hands on an ARC. I loved the book so much that I think I'll buy myself a "real" copy, too!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-31352967406280931452010-11-18T09:12:37.825-08:002010-11-18T09:12:37.825-08:00Oh man!
