    These one-liners are amazing!! You should hire yourself out to write pitches for people. Seriously.

    I bet you did a better job than the author did summarizing the books! 🙂

    You don’t need to enter me in the contest since I’m buried under school books at the moment. Unless it’s your book. 🙂

    Three more books on my “want” list. I’ve heard of and ignored “Bad Taste in Boys” b/c of the title. Now, a “goofy, campy read” with zombies? Count me in!
    Thanks for mini-previews!

    So many books, so little time!!! That’s it…I’m moving to a cabin in the woods. All I’m going to do is read. All day. That’s it. Read. And eat. But only so I can keep reading.

    This is getting annoying. I keep doing this. That Ryan Geary…that up there? That’s me. Valerie. I really need to double-check who’s signed in before I comment. 😀

    Val, you are so funny. I was thinking how much your husband talks just like you do!

    Ha ha Valerie! Have the same problem with my hubby’s profile! Yes, I was definitely thinking like Caroline.

    I’ve read and loved all of these except Bad Taste in Boys. I can’t wait to read that! Love your one line reviews!
