Bogus Release!

Posted on by scott

Bogus to Bubbly: An Insider’s Guide to the World of Uglies is out today!

Bogus to Bubbly is somewhere between a giant FAQ and a vast blog post. In it I try to answer every single one of the most common questions that I’ve been asked by fans over the years. It includes the following sections:

An illustrated hoverboard manual!
Notes on the science of beauty, mag-levs, and nanos
A History of Tally’s world, starting with the Rusty Crash
Maps of Tally’s city and her continent
Illustrations of various gadgets from the books
A complete series glossary, plus an essay on slang generation
Mini-histories of all the cliques
Character names and how I came up with them
Where I got the big idea for the series

You can buy Bogus online at Amazon, Powell’s, or Barnes and Noble. Or at bricks and mortar bookstores everywhere!

I hope you enjoy it, especially because it’s dedicated to a whole bunch of you who read this blog.

Also, thanks to all of you who voted for Extras in the ALA’s Teens’ Top Ten for 2008. I’m at #8 on the list, with some pretty impressive company.

And finally, we hope we see you in Toronto:

  3. Woo. Thanks a million Scott for putting me and everyone else in the dedication! I never imagined somebody doing that, was amazing.

  4. i wanted to get this today so bad but i had to stay after school and then my mom wasn’t home til like 7 so it sucked rawr

  5. Hi! I am so happy to have this book! I’m going to go up to my room and read it! Nothing is funnier then reading a great book! That’s awesome putting so many people in the dedication! Really sweet! This book series is amazing, it really makes you think and has such captivating characters! Awesome about you coming to Toronto, I live really close by! Sadly I probably won’t be able to make it, but I hope it goes great and everyone who comes has a great time! ^^ Totally pretty-making!

  8. So upset, I knew it came out today, and I like Borders more than B&N and figured they’d have it, so I called, and they said they did, so my dad drove me there and I asked them to check in stock but they DIDN’T HAVE IT! And then I called B&N who DID have it, but my dad wouldn’t take me there because he said it was rush hour or whatever, so I can’t get it until tomorow, and I’d kind of made a mental promise to get it the first day it came out. DAH! I know it’s not an actually “story” in a sense, but please, no spoilers, people!

  9. I’m so excited!

    I got mine today, but I had to wait until I was finished with my homework to start reading it! I was so mad, but now I’m going to go lock myself in my room and read.

    =D

  10. i’ve already had it since saturday but i’m not all that far into it.

    yea it was sweet to decicate 2 all those ppl. there r a LOT of fans on the other parts too, ya no. just putting that out there. besides the dedication i like everything else and i was glued to the book when i got it!!!!!

    See ya!!!! :mrgreen:

  11. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. “No, Magnus, no walking on my new book.”

    I said that to my cat about BtB.
    Took me three bookstores and three bookstore employees to get it, 2 checks in the backroom. So bogus, but so worth it.

  13. Also, my mom laughed so hard at this:

    “Where do you want your teeth to be in 5 years?”
    “Um, in my mouth?”

    Awesome book so far Scott-la.

  16. Tomorrow at school I’m variating between calling my friend insertnamehere-wa or my usual pet name since she is incredibly nosy ‘Mrs. Nose’ or ‘Nosey-chan’ (Howl’s Moving Castle for the first one, Extras for the second).

  18. sweet were in the dedication!!!

    Yes finaly I have it and dont have to drive my self crazy
    waiting for it.

  20. I haven’t been able to get my hands on it yet… but I will!
    I have a babysitting job coming up so that means money and that money will be for the book.
    I’m so psyched!
    And thank you xamillion Scott!!!

  21. I didn’t realize it came out TODAY. I was just in the bookstore and picked it up. I feel all special for getting it on the release day!!!

  22. ME TOO… I preordered it and my mom picked it up. When I got home it was on the table next to reese’s piece. I completey ignored the candy and took the book and ran upstairs to read.

  23. oh my gosh…this idiot next to my locker thinks that i’m weird just cuz i got all freaked at the beginning of the year cuz i couldn’t remember which locker was mine then i remember…it’s 12×44…..yeah…..i remember THAT yet not my locker number….which might explain why my friends think that i’m slightly weird……they’re ones to talk….we’re all weird, i mean, we eat lunch outside in the freezing cold in January. Just to avoid the cafetiria. One of my friends actually has a t-shirt that says “i love my crazy friends”. Oh and we all have nicknames!!! actually, we’re all different creatures/book characters….one of us is a hobbit, one of us is an elf, one of us is the beaver queen of the spoons, and there are more just i can’t remember them…..oh, and i’m the over-obsessive book-lover!!!!

  43. I’m bored, so I will intrude on this conversation. Much apologies. I read Uglies in one day. It was the beginning of eighth grade I do believe. I play softball. I also have a really short attention span and my friend hit my guy friend with a door today. It was funny.

  44. hey I read it in grade 7 too
    for book group things
    I had never read much until Uglies
    now im hooked on books

  47. ok im intrudoing too

    Andrea-la:Go sports u cant get hurt in!
    im in ballet so i can get hurt- but not w/ a ball;D

    i read it in 6th(that was only last year-haha am i the youngest?)

    but yeah
    *i go back to reading…*

  48. ok so im gonna read and comment
    so

    *SPOILER ALERT*

    i love the LA teeth story!

    i want a hovorboard!
    they seem um, cooler?when u read about how to use them;D
    i dont know why
    planet-wreaking?isnt that pretty talk?

    i gotta go=.[

  50. I can’t wait. I got a message just yesterday that my pre-ordered copy was shipped so if all goes well I’ll have Bogus to Bubbly by Friday.

  56. NUU.

    Long wait for Leviathan. Just like my 2009 wait for Inside Out, Storm Glass, *kills your brain cells with the too long list*

    Oh, and also, on page 88 in BtB, grammar error!

    Female zebra finches and swallows should be:

    Femal zebras, finches, and swallows

  58. I think I’m going to explode from anticipation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    (((EXPLODES)))

  59. Oh, I’m reading Pretties again, and I love the part thats like
    There was a species of Middle pretty who smiled at everything: happy smil, disappointed smile, you’re-in-touble smile.

    Its amazing.

    Debate is booooooooringggggggggggg

  61. This is kind of unrelated, but my friend is at houseofnightseries.com and you can give them tattoos and I’m thinking FLASH TATTOOOOOOSSS!!!
    I am so bored.

  65. Wait . . . Scholastic must have sent this out earlier . . . I got this book three weeks ago from my schools “Book Sale”. How is this possible? I have already read the book, but seemingly, I shouldn’t have.

  67. Ooh, I love FAQs and blogs! I’ll definitely have to check that out next time I go to the book store. I can’t wait to see the gadgets. Not that they were described poorly or anything, but I had trouble picturing some of them. I can picture people, places, and made up animals, but when it comes to gadgets and the like, my imagination escapes me and I can’t envision it. It’s terrible! It makes it kind of hard to read future-y books with lots of gadgets in them.
    Anyway, I’m getting off subject.
    In short, I can’t wait to read Bogus To Bubbly! 🙂

  70. OOHHH MY GOSHH!
    I’m so excited!
    I’ve been waiting for this… forever! you just made my day!

    (: I’ll get it ay-sap!
    ♥Hannah-la

  71. Omg spiffy! I’m reading it my friend let me borrow it! Dess is so spiff! Except I accidentally dropped it in a puddle on my way home from school…………………………………………………………………………………………..JUST KIDDING DESS! Its so cool! I like the hoverboarding manual!

  73. I got mine yesterday and today we had some big career test so i got to read it ALOT today! I love the book so much!

  76. by the way, those of u who think u have weird friends, my friend tried to drown her fish (not kidding) needless to say it didn’t work. By the way 29 DAYS TILL TWILIGHT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!! (massive scream and shreik attack) also 59 days till the Twilight guide!!!!! (don’t ask how i know that)

  77. ughhhhh…. i’ve got a fever of 102.6. this sucks. and i have finals again tomorrow. and there is no way i can stay home from school on finals day cuz i’ll get a sucky grade. but if i go to school i’ll probably get some people sick. which also sucks.

    finals sucked today. the math one was so easy i could fail it and still have an A- in that class. but biology was a different story. if i miss more than 3 on that one i’ll get a B+ in the class which is just as good as failing in my opinion. today sucks. 🙁 🙁 🙁

  78. ugh…i did SO BAD on my math test…only 93%….bleh….(let’s get something straight…for me, in math, anything under 110% sucks…so 93% is grade-wreaking.)

  79. Andrea-la: does that mean you have extra credit problems on ur math tests?

    Oh yeah, I got Bogus to bubbly the day before it came out, it was right there on the shelf, i feel bad for you peoples who had to wait

    Ha! I don’t have finals for a few months

    ~Aryll-wa

  80. ok
    so IM DONE!!!!
    YAY!
    but yeah,
    i had to skip the parts that r extra spoilers(even tho i already know mostly what happens)

    so im not TECHNICLY done

    and beacause im such a dork i totally love the science parts(even tho Sci. is my lowest grade)

    nanos r bubbly!

    but yeah,
    heres my very bored dedication story:
    i was gonnna say something but i forgot
    so i wasnt put in =.[

    yeah i was mad at myself >=•/

  82. Aryll-wa: yes, that means that we get extra credit questions.

    and i’m SO MAD at myself cuz i totally FAILED that test!!! i mean, i didn’t study or anything (i mean, this is MATH…in what alternate universe do people actually study for math tests?) but i can’t believe that i only got 93%…and the worst part? it was 93.4%…as in, one more 0.1 mark and i would of gotten a whole percent more!!! UGH! oh, and 9+3=12. Do you see the issue at hand here? maybe i woulda done better if i hadn’t been reading a book under my desk every math class for the entire school year…hmmm….

  87. AUGHRAH!

    I told my mom I wanted to go to B&N /today/. But NO, she thinks I meant TOMORROW. AFTER flute/piano lessons. IF my dad can pick my sister up from dance team on his way home from school.

    …Ugh.

  88. Yay! It’s my birthday today (22nd) so I asked my mom to get Bogus for me. I got Bogus then brought it to school and I have about 4 people in line to borrow it. I finished it in about 9 hours too. It’s really good. 🙂

  89. Hey Andrea-la, at least you got a good mark – lots of people would do worse.
    Yah S M has playlists, I found them a while ago. Sparky songs on them (the Muse songs especially!).
    I don’t have finals for three or four weeks. At least i got some time.

  92. Ugh, I hate it when that happens. On my science progress report i got an 89.65! Thank goodness, my teacher said they’d round up if I were in the same situation with the actual reportcards.
    I got Bogus to Bubbly today!!! Unfortunatley, I was not in the dedication (I actually didn’t recognize most of the names in there.), but congrats to everyone who was, you lucky little minons! It’s so awesome, that much I can tell, even though I only skimmed it…for over 2 hours. It’s weird, I once read a thing by Scott-la which was supposed to be the first chapter of his draft with Hiro, but it was totally different from the one in the book! Plus, random, did anyone notice how at one point in the book it said (I don’t remember which part) “seers” in quotation marks? I was like “deja vu.”

  93. Dx I totally forgot about it! *bangs head into wall*
    I’ll try to get it by this weekend… cant wait to read it!

  94. Shally-wa: (BTW, cute name.) Just don’t try Borders. I called, they said they had it, I went there, and walked out empty handed and extremely dissapointed.

  95. So… I got this book at least two weeks ago! I love book orders. My mom is a teacher, so she gave me a TAB book order, and I magically got the book. It was AWESOME. I loved it! It was great seeing all the stuff that wasn’t important to the plot, but was still interesting. Great stuff. Hope to see more from you soon!

  96. omg! i bought the book at borders tonight and started reading it right away (love the dentist story too, haha…) and i could not believe IT WAS DEDICATED TO ME!

    ily scott, i really do.

    and thanks for making the necessary grammatical changes in my name. i realized only too late that “sensei” was not capitalized, but the blog-bots wouldn’t let me edit it. *tear*

    i will finish the book right away and then let you know what i thought (whether you care or not!)

    Because I’ll totally make the Top 100 😉

  97. I finished it as soon as i got it! It was great mr.westerfeld!!!!!!

    and the dedication is SO SWEET!!! but you’re deffinitly more vibrant and brilliant =)

    and thanks for the 1st two chptrs!!! so exccited for the next book’s realease!

  98. Wow, so individual people from here are in the dedication? Lucky! I doubt I am because I haven’t been coming to this site long… at least as Julie-wa, I also used Aevia-la but I doubt either are in. I haven’t got a babysitting job yet, so no money for book yet… but soon >.<

  99. UGH! I HATE waking up so EARLY for school. I HATE IT! Cuz i never get to fall asleep before one, then waking up at seven only gives me six hours of sleep. Probably. idk. It’s too early to do math. But it isn’t too early for logic: If it’s dark outside, we should be in bed. It’s that simple. It’s pitch black out, so I should be all cozy in my bed. I wouldn’t care if i had to miss my first class (science) cuz I’m pretty sure that in science class, they would approve of us doing what our bodies need. You know, like sleep, which is something that school just doesn’t seem to like. Now I must go to school. I haven’t even brushed my hair. Whatever.

  100. still sick. feeling a little bit better. finals are over! thank god! i got 100% on my spanish final! 😀 i got the only 100! ha. which will give me 102% in that class. and i got a 95% on my math crt which will bring my grade down to a 104% and i’m sure my journalism grade will be good. but my biology grade is kinda hanging on the edge of an A- or a B+ which sucks because if it is a B+ it will be the 1st one since the 1st quater of 6th grade and now i’m in 1st quater of 10th. i can’t have a B+ it would be awful.

  102. Oh I got Bogus To Bubbly at Barnes and Noble! The day it came out, because we just happened across it while gazing at the Uglies series lovingly. Of course, I noticed Bogus and I screamed.

    yes. Literally screamed. as in the “makes-everybody-turn-around-and-stare” kind of scream. So I bought it with the remainders of my pocket change.

    Read it and loved it! 🙂

  103. Since I am the 103 post, you probably won’t read this but, ya know, watever. Last Thursday, I got a call from Barnes and Noble saying they had Bogus to Bubbly ready fo me t pick up. I freaked out, because, well, it was six days early!!!!!!!! The next day I picked it up, and I loved it!!!!

  106. Scott-la, BtB is epic. I read it yesterday. And it comes with the first two chapters of Leviathan! -win-

    Yeah, and I’m in Toronto. I will meet you soon, Scott-la. -spazz- I feel excited :DD Oh, and will you sign books? If so, will you sign more than one?

  107. 28 DAYS TILL TWILIGHT MOVIE!!!!!! (major eep) i got 2 spanish tests back today and that were BOTH 100% i was so excited, yesterday i re-read B+B for the 3rd time!

  111. Yay!
    The book is out AND I finally got caught up with the posts!
    my step mom put this block on my internet account so that I couldn’t get on Westerblog…then I said something that really upset her…so she blocked basically everything, but then I found out how to get around the block…so yeah…
    my library has been suspiciously slow lately (I’m wondering if this has anything to do with the sudden appearance of smokers with tattoos outside my penpal’s library…) so the book is still on order and also lately a lot more people have been checking out books, so where normally I’m the only one placing holds on ANYTHING (other than Twilight, which nobody will shut up about…my pen pal went to a lock in at church and they carved pumpkins, one of the girls made Emmett Cullen…and a Harry Potter…I like Twilight and everything, but some people are easily addicted…*cough*rant over…) okay…uh…oh yeah! So normally I’m the ONLY person who put holds on YA books, but there are 5 holds on Bogus to Bubbly and at least one hold on almost everything I check out (but I beat them to the Mortal Instruments books, nobody put them on hold until I had checked them out)

  112. Ome I loved Bogus to Bubbly!!! It was so awesome!! My Dad bought it for me while I was at school and then I got home, but had to do a social studies project and my book is loaded on the computer but it was taking forever so I got Bogus to Bubbly to read while it was scrolling and loading the pages, and right when I get it, the pages start to go fast!! I was like, Ome your kidding me. But still, Really good!!!

  114. OMG.
    THAT IS SO FAWESOME!
    That is such utter indescribably indescribable effervescence!
    must.get.copy.of.book.

    Scott, you rock!!

  115. my mom still thinks i’m reading it. i finished it in 30 minuts she wants me to PACE MYSELF!!!!!!!!!! i told her ok… but don’t tell her. (not like you would 😆

  119. I JUST GOT BOGUS TO BUBBLY! YAY!!!

    Lol, Scott-la I can’t help but notice I was just “Emily” in the dedication.. but I was on the front page so that makes up for it. I haven’t finished it yet, I only got to History #3 of the textbooks-style stuff.
    Eep, I is so excited!

  120. I actually saw this in stores like, a week ago? x3
    I wanted this so bad. I almost groveled for it.
    Next time… -sigh/sob-

  121. OMG! I just bought the book! I looked at the dedication and found myself! I thought it was so cool! So did my parents! I knew it was mine because i remember leaving that post on January 19 about Nana Love and some other characters i wanted to hear about! yay!

  122. oh yeah and at the bookstore the lady who was ringing me up looked at me strangely. she was in her late-teens. heres what she said-

    “Is this by Scott Westerfeld? Is this part of the Uglies series?”
    “Yes….” I replied as she looked at me strangely.
    Then her face lit up.
    “Omygosh! He made another book! I used to love these books! I can’t believe he made another one! Yay!”
    After that she rang up my book and ran over to the teen book aisle as i was leaving. here is my conclusion-

    Shouldn’t people at book stores know which books they have and don’t have? Especially the ones written by scott westerfeld!!

    oh yea and i told my mom about the dedication page and how i got to be in it with like two hundred other people. she said that it was so nice that an author dedicates his book to the fans!

    thanks scott! you rox!

  123. omg.

    i got it todayyyyy!!!!

    i found it at a book fair and i HAD to have it, since i already have all of the books.

  124. Yay! I can’t wait to look at the gadgets 🙂

    And this is kinda off topic…but… Is the Uglies movie a no go? Because nothing seems to be happening. Could you give us an update on it?

  125. okay, so my pen pal just sent me this email….she said that she fake cried and everything, but nobody would listen to it until she gave up and emailed me
    And I thought it was kind of funny, because it is…and it’s made up so I’m not being cruel or anything, but it’s kind of short, so here’s the story:
    Saturday night, while I was recuperating from that church lock in and trying to fall asleep, Bob came in and asked if we could play. I told him no, but he kept pestering me. He said he wanted to act out Charlie the Unicorn. Then I started yelling at him, “Bob, you idiot! Do you really need to pretend that you are a unicorn? Just get away! I’m sleeping!,” and etc. He was really upset. I woke up,feeling horrid and nasty, to find at note a the end of my bed. “Kayla”, it read, “I’m sorry that I disturbed you last night. I am sneaking off to get on Hannah’s plane to Florida. Please don’t tell her because I don’t think her parents would want me to come. I myself will not be informing her of this. I’ll be back Friday around 1 PM with Hannah and her family.” I ignored the note, assuming he had just sulked off to Jessica, and went on with my week.
    I was sick Sunday through Wednesday, and so I didn’t speak to Jessica on the 3 days of school we had this week. It was only on Thursday, when Hannah called from Florida, that my trouble began. Hannah had called because she had just spoken to Laura, who informed her that I had not been at school. I admitted that this was true, that I had been sick all week and was just now getting better. “See,” she said, “you could have come to Florida with me!”
    “Yeah, and coughed my guts up in your face.” I replied. Then she disagreed saying that I wouldn’t have been near my sick sisters, therefor I would have gotten better sooner. Plus, they would be back tomorrow at one. That rang a bell. “Hey, is Bob with you?” I asked.
    “No. Why would he be?” I told her it didn’t matter anyway and we hung up. Next I called Bob’s cell phone, and I got the answering machine…with the whole story.
    Bob, being as huge as he is, could not fit on the plane. This upset him further and so he caught a bus to Florida instead. Unfortunately, a secret assassin was on that bus . So the CIA’s trained rabid ninja monkeys attacked the bus on command. The assassin basically threatened all the passengers and took over the bus, telling them that he would take a huge detour all the way through California, but they would make it to Florida. Apparently, this was just an unlucky trip for Bob. They did not make it to California. While driving through LA, Nevada, they passed a hobo. This hobo saw they ad for Oprah on the side of the bus. As Bob later learned, the hobo, Mark, was not at all fond of Oprah. So Mark threw his knife at the bus and the wheel deflated. Bob is now stuck in LA and he is gambling! He can’t help it! He’s just an irresponsible unicorn and there was no one there to help him. Now he’s just one of those hopeless Unicorn Gamblers Anonymous, and it’s ALL MY FAULT!

    Well, I probably should have mentioned that he’s a unicorn before…sorry
    oh and this was long…

  126. I know, right? I told my mom that I was in the dedication and she didn’t believe me! I had to then explain the whole concept of blogging and user names to write responses and stuff so my parents would understand, but all my mom wanted to know was “why sensei?” *sigh* “It’s a suffix from the books, Mom. Look.” Then she gave me a weird stare…

    SONJA-chan: I am *totally* going to tell your mom. You, young missy, are busted. I’m friends with her on facebook. We chat everyday. For hours.

    The movie is a “go”, but indefinitely. Meaning, until some big shot director or actor feels the need to take this project on and magically galvanize (vocab word!) everyone to start the project up again, it will remain a file on a desk (kind of like The Secret Life of Bees, which took about ten years for someone to finally appreciate the script. In this case, there isn’t even a script!).

    Because I’ll totally make the Top 100 😉

  127. oh my god. I just saw my Chemistry teachers facebook page. Her profile picture? Her dancing in a skanky leotard. Luckily, it was small enough to spare me any actual details.

    Because I’ll totally make the Top 100 😉

  129. Okay, wait…youre chemistry teacher put a picture of herself partly naked on a website that millions of teenagers visit everyday knowing that her students have a good chance of finding it?

  131. I just found out that Sybil, as in Sybil Trelawney, means prophet…I wonder at the signifigance JK Rowling is hiding behind her story for the name Harry Potter…I think I’ve cracked…I’m muttering to myself without noticing lately…

  146. it makes me mad that my mom chose this month to not give me allowence. couldnt it be like, three months from now? ack. i wanna get that book so bad ! o_o
    curse you economy crisis!

  147. I loved this book! it was so bubbly-making. my favorite part was the Hoverboard manual, i’ve wanted one since i read Uglies for the first time. That was way cool.

  148. OMG i luved b+b and have loved all ur books ( i only havent read 3) and update nicky-wa 27 days until the twilight movie! I cant wait!

  149. So I haven’t had much time lately so I haven’t been on here nearly as much as I usually am, so I’d forgotten the exact day when Bogus To Bubbly was supposed to come out. I was in Indigo yesterday getter Paper Towns (!!!) and I thought “hmmm it’s supposed to be out sometime soon isn’t it?” so I went and checked for it and it was in!!!! Haha my sister thought I’d gone insane, letting two books make me so ecstatic! And I absolutely love the dedication! Most authors just say something like “thank you to all my fans” but you went beyond that, so thank you 🙂

  150. Squeeeee! I am soo happy you’re acutally close by, I am so gonna be there tomorrow! =)

    Oooh, I’m so excited about Bogus to Bubbly!

    Thanks so much for the dedication, it definetly shows how involved with all of us you are!

    Thank you, like a lot! 😀

  152. thank you so VERY MUCH for putting me in the book!!!!!!!!!!!!111one!!!on1o!I1j!22!LK!!! now i can say i was published in a SCOTT WESTERFELD BOOK =DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

    I haven’t been able to for ages!

  154. HA. I’m in a book. That’s awesomeeeeeeeee. Congrats to everyone that made it in the dedication list!

  155. I READ THIS TODAY AND IT IS AMAZING!!!!!

    it makes me want to read all the books again

    (for the 8th time though…)

  156. hey, im new here- ive read almost all scotts books though- but Specials is SOOOOOOO my favorite!!!

  158. im so mad! i wanted to buy B+B but im like broke now that i spent on summer $ on my new mac, and now my dad doesnt want to buy it 4 me- he wants me to wait till its in the librarys!!

  161. i just finished reading the book!
    it was amazing i loved knowing all the insight on details from the books. i thought it was really bubbly to have all those people in the beginning. i think i might re-read all of them to see how the story is different now that i know more about it.

  162. I just bought Bogus to Bubbly at my schools book fair today. As soon as i got home i cracked open the book, and in 2 hrs i was done. It gives you amazing in depth details about events and people in the book. It has given me such a better understanding of the whole series that i’ve started reading Uglies again. Buy it, because you wont be dissapointed!!! 🙂

  163. heyo
    does somebody know when this and extras are appearing in germany?
    there isn’t anywhere sth about it
    and i can’t live without the uglies

  165. okay so i was FINALLY allowed to get it and i was sooo honored that my name was mentioned in the thank-yous
    i took it to school today to show everyone!!!!!

  166. I got this book from school when i was lookin around at bookfair… and I was reading it when i was also reading pretties. I was like… in love with zane-la, and when i read bogus to bubbly, it sooo told me zane died… i Like started to cry. Then when i got to that part in specials,… i figured out that he was like… taken off life support and i was literally YELLING at the book!!! poor zane-la.

  168. Amanda*Boo-cha, Zane needed 2 die. no offence, bu he waz already shaking! it shows a good author if he’s (or she) is’nt afraid to kill a good charecter. im too late 2 b put in the thank u page. boo hoo. too bad

    Well, anywho, I got it yesterday (my neighborhood bookstore closed so I had to wait to go into the city) and I found my name, and I got so excited and started blabbering nonstop to all my friends at school, so they all hate me now because I was in a book and they weren’t! Thanks, Scott-la!

  173. I’m so bummed…I thought I’d replied to at least one of those posts, but I guess not….would have been cool to be in a dedication lol. I’m so excited this book finally came out though!! Scott, you’re so awesome to dedicate it to fans!!

    I’ve already read it all the way through, totally excellent.
    And it was pretty awesome/surreal/really awesome/awesomely awesome/really awesomely awesome to see Hope-Potato in the list of usernames at the front.

  181. Can i get this book at my local borders? I searched at my book fair for it but i couldent get it.. it was too expensive so i missed out on it. Is there a chance it could be in borders? [Yes i repeat myself] It’s kind of worry-making to wait for this book, however i’m glad its out finally! YUS!

  184. Go Scott! I just read the series it was so good!!!! I really hope to get BTB…. I always kinda wondered where Tally lived.

  186. wow…you guys are really into this…i jus started reading uglies last december 2008 and i just got the 2nd to 4th book just days ago…o love the series so much im in Valentino 317 of pretties

  195. When you are gathering your estimates, make sure that any contractors you contact from out of your area will be available and on-site as the pool is being built. Having the contractors visit your home before they provide you with an estimate will also help you to get a more accurate estimate. When the contractor visits your home, they will be able to see if there are any potential issues with the ground or access to your backyard that will need to be included in the estimate.”
