Watching Sup...I am with you on the cremation thing. Watching Supernatural only cemented the idea that burial is maybe not so desirable. Speaking of SPN, the Bloody Mary episode in season 1 is one of the flippin' scariest episodes of the series. Bloody Mary is a LEGITIMATE FEAR. I was terrified of mirrors in dark rooms for A LONG TIME, then blissfully forgot about Bloody Mary for a year or two, and then somehow got reminded of it and it's never gone away since. -__-'<br /><br />The original <i>If I Stay</i> cover is beautiful, the new one typical. I was going to buy a copy at the LA Times Book Festival, but they only had the new cover version, so I didn't. FAIL. I really enjoyed the book though, so it hopefully won't disappoint you. READ INCARCERON. ;)Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244084325311642260.post-70444069789137990012010-07-01T07:48:48.946-07:002010-07-01T07:48:48.946-07:00You're so right about that particular comparis...You're so right about that particular comparison being completely meaningless. If someone wanted to put that on my book, I'd throw an EPIC tantrum. <br /><br />Actually, now that you bring it up, that's officially my new biggest fear. Thanks ever so much. ;)Tere Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562750950130316280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244084325311642260.post-75098004744486315452010-07-01T07:22:19.490-07:002010-07-01T07:22:19.490-07:00I hate when book covers try to mimic others, or co...I hate when book covers try to mimic others, or compare to high-selling books. Especially when the style of the author is so different. My mother bought me a book in seventh grade that 'was the next harry potter', which of course was nothing like HP. I loved the book anyway, it's still one of my favorites, but there's absolutely NOTHING in the book that would make me recommend it to HP fans, other than that it's fiction. I would much prefer books, if they're compared to another book on the cover, to be valid comparisons. <br />I could rant on this, I could also daydream hours about what comparisons I would put on my favorite book covers. :) Anyway, great post! I hate promising beginnings that turn to bad endings. It's really very depressing.Bethany Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829932931010851406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244084325311642260.post-89044757876397095272010-06-30T23:46:28.809-07:002010-06-30T23:46:28.809-07:00I'm so with you on cremation.

Back in high school, I read an article on how bodies are prepped for funerals and burial...Did you know that they stick little spiked caps under your eyelids so your eyes stay closed?<br /><br />They will also break your jaw (or neck? I can't remember) to make your head sit juuuuust right on the pillow.<br /><br />Comforting, isn't it?kimberMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323128424872012594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244084325311642260.post-60278822212481441332010-06-30T20:34:26.718-07:002010-06-30T20:34:26.718-07:00I don't have one to recommend. :( I'll adm...I don't have one to recommend. :( I'll admit that I'm finding more and more the same as you ~ that a story has so much potential and then ... nothing.ali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244084325311642260.post-74902077993649834752010-06-30T15:46:44.987-07:002010-06-30T15:46:44.987-07:00I really enjoyed If I Stay.

And I don't see why it would appeal to fans of Twilight? That's really odd. Marketing. Gotta love it.Michelle D. Argylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696465137285587646noreply@blogger.com
