Pabkins character photo above is representing Jenny Pox from J.L. Bryan
It's supposed to look disgusting its pox and boils (actually left over pizza in the fridge)
Sharing Books:
Rie's: I don't really share so much anymore, but usually when my sister comes to visit she'll take a few of my books. She even steals the one I'm currently reading. *I kill you*
Pabkins: I force *cough* mean share my books by gifting copies to people I think will really love them. Usually thats my cousin in law, sister, BFF or brother in law. My book soul mate has a tendency to overbuy books like I do and we tend to just auto buy what the other is reading.

ReplyDeleteI've heard that The Graveyard Book is wonderful, and what a perfect choice for an October read, let alone a compelling story for the read-a-thon. (Something has to make up for soggy sandwich-ness. Ugh.)
