After writing my review, I read a few reviews at Amazon (where it got 4 stars) and found that a couple people thought it sounded too much like some other series. But, since I haven't read that series, it sounded unique enough to me. I like the occasional otherworldly reading experience. Next up is the sequel to Glow: Spark, which took me back to outer space. Fun!<br /><br />Yes, I'm sure you'll get to see lots of photos of the cats adjusting to the new space, once they come out of the closets or out from under the furniture. ;)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-219230765416759252012-06-12T10:38:14.468-05:002012-06-12T10:38:14.468-05:00I can understand dogs running loose on farms but i...I can understand dogs running loose on farms but in a subdivision . . . that's just bizarre. If everyone fenced the animals, our little neighborhood would be so much more pleasant. It'll be nice to move away from that, although I do have terrific neighbors nearby.<br /><br />Thanks! It was a very fun diversion. I'm definitely in a YA mood, right now.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-71849772979280296932012-06-12T10:34:37.647-05:002012-06-12T10:34:37.647-05:00I'm glad you understand that, Carrie!

It's very difficult to acquire, now, and freakishly expensive but wasn't when we bought it. I love my colors, too. And, the brushed nickel hardware we've put in, everywhere. Sigh.<br /><br />But, sidewalks!! Leash laws!!! Yep, the cats will deal. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-72648066476971369142012-06-12T09:05:43.794-05:002012-06-12T09:05:43.794-05:00I might give this one a try, Nancy, since you enjo...I might give this one a try, Nancy, since you enjoyed it.

The two times you love your house the ...True, true. The two times you love your house the most is when you first move it and when you ready it to sell. (well, not a hard fast rule but since i've done it 6 times, I know more that some.)<br /><br />Sidewalks! Leash laws! Thrilling!!! Fiona and Izzy will just have to learn to adjust.

And...*snicker* It's a matter of honor, Kelly! And, speaking of that, I do need to visit your blog. Yeah, I'm sure everyone's exhausted after both BEA and ABEA. <br /><br />Thanks! I'm excited, too. The only thing I can't figure out is where on earth we'll go during a tornado warning because there's not a coat closet (although there's plenty of closet space) and the house is very open. Maybe dive under the deck? LOL <br /><br />Just about nobody actually walks a dog, here. Since they're loose, they get plenty of exercise -- or, at least, I guess that's the justification. Sad, because that means people are losing one of the biggest benefits of dog ownership in not getting the exercise of walking them (the other being the joy of companionship). We do have one guy who walks his dogs (seriously, just one guy in the whole subdivision) but he makes up for half the neighborhood by walking 4 dogs at once. It's quite a sight. <br /><br />When they roam free, nobody cleans up after them.

I think right after BEA and Armchair BEA is a quiet time. Other than a couple of my BEA posts you can almost hear a pin drop on my blog...<br /><br />Anyway, I am very excited about your new house. Your dog thing makes me think of an incident from earlier. We were driving home and a dog was on a leash with its owner. It randomly started to run out in traffic and the woman did a half-hearted pull on the leash. Anyway, we drove by and then we look in the rearview mirror and there is another dog. Neither of us saw it... We were both looking at the golden retriever (initially because it was using the lawn as its facilities and you always wonder if the owner will clean it up...)Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-22358646739996330762012-06-11T19:49:46.943-05:002012-06-11T19:49:46.943-05:00Haha. Well, yeah, I know it's not your thing ...Haha. Well, yeah, I know it's not your thing but I still appreciate you dropping by, Trish. I haven't read that many YA paranormal titles but I know what you mean. When YA first became the Next Big Thing, I was pretty excited. And, then I did avoid them for a time. If you read many, you'll find that they start to sound alike. I mostly read YA when I need something Brain Light, now. They're perfect for times when you can't focus. I do enjoy YA. <br /><br />About the dogs: endlessly stressful. I cannot wait to get away from that. We actually have dogs pack up in our neighborhood. Our Miss Spooky was attacked by a pack of dogs and came close to death. Thank goodness, she was able to dive into a holly bush and we heard the dogs so we were able to get to her quickly. That's one reason our current kitties are indoors-only.<br /><br />We are outside the city limits and even in the city they've just recently gotten leash laws (which aren't enforced, unfortunately) so that's part of the deal. I think it's crazy. Everyone I know who runs, walks or bikes has been bitten at some point. The military park is the only safe place - it's federal property, so dogs do have to be on leashes. That's where I used to run.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-34234572297313623802012-06-11T19:42:00.835-05:002012-06-11T19:42:00.835-05:00Aw, thank you, Kimberly.

I appreciate your comment!!!! <br /><br />I love the fact that YA is not taxing on the brain but I really did enjoy the plot in this particular book. I do think it's a pretty good starting place for angel reading. Hope you like it!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-42654777935578520942012-06-11T19:32:24.122-05:002012-06-11T19:32:24.122-05:00Oh dear Nancy.

For some reason I see these and immediately run the other direction. Maybe because it seems they're every where these days?<br /><br />Ok, judging aside, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />And I can't imagine people letting their dogs run wild in the neighborhood! Seems like it would be a nuisance/liability. I'm excited for you and your move--you sound so happy about it!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-10604406975760986992012-06-11T19:30:05.911-05:002012-06-11T19:30:05.911-05:00I'm here to comment so that you don't have...I'm here to comment so that you don't have to "fling yourself upon a sword" ;)<br /><br />Anyway, the book looks really interesting. I've never read any YA with Angels, so this might be the place to start. Definitely adding it to my TBR pile.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672829028363509427noreply@blogger.com
