That wine label is a great promotional idea.

Aggghh I want the sequel to Catching Fire to come out!!!!

If you guys are looking for any more addictive books while we wait for the last book in the Hunger Games series and for Behemoth, check out Wake by Lisa McMann. The last book comes out next month, and those books are amazing! I read the first two each in one sitting.

ping to Me and My Spagbol: first off LOVE the name! and yes the Hunger Games and Uglies is very similar i noticed that while reading Hunger Games but at the same time…they aren’t. Hunger Games is a worse image of how our society may turn out and for some reason i think the Uglies series will have a happier outcome than the Hunger Games trilogy…but i don’t know. there’s definitely more death in the Hunger Games…but both series really made me think about the future and kept me lying awake at night wondering what the hell is going to happen to us? but that’s me.

ping to the OTHER tally youngblood: yes Catching Fire left us with a MASSIVE cliff hanger!!! i was extremely upset but that’s probably what ultimately made it such a kick ass book. i’m also painfully waiting for the third and final book since apparently it will just be a trilogy (Uglies was also supposed to be just a trilogy but we all saw what happened with that! i’m keeping my fingers crossed for the HUnger Games too). also i agree that since a lot of us can’t drink (or at least shouldn’t be drinking) then glass Leviathan coke bottles is obviously the next best idea! it would be perfect…limited addition collectors coke bottles…i think they’d sell at least i’d buy one…

GREEN DAY ROCKS!!!!!!!! <3

Scott and Justine and Trudi Canavan at the same event? O.O! Someone slap me, I think I’m going to faint… Also partially because I live too far from Brisbane to go. D=

The Leviathan Wine thing is really cool too!

To all who asked: My Spanish is atrocious. I did the interview in English and then it was translated. But when we do writing holidays in Mexico, I have an ability to fool people into thinking I understand some Spanish.

Kailey-wa: Good point about 12th Night.

Wow…I’m so proud of myself. I actually understood that entire interview! My Spanish teachers were actually effective….

Scott-la: Can you actually speak Spanish, or were the questions/answers translated?

And also, you said that Leviathan is sort of like Romeo and Juliet, forbidden love and all, and I agree, but I actually think that it’s a ton more similar to Twelfth Night, in which Viola, posing as a boy, falls in love with someone oblivious to the fact that she is a girl. I love that play…
