The only thing I can say about that is you MUST, MUST, MUST read PERKS and HARRY POTTER. This shall be your 2013 quest!<br /><br />I normally try to do the same though and there have been VERY few instances were the movie trumps book (The Notebook) or the movie is equally as awesome as the novel (PERKS). <br /><br />I'll be honest, I wasn't either at first but I would recommend reading SISTERS RED and SWEETLY because then the ending of FATHOMLESS will make so much more sense. You don't necessarily have to read them in order but it does help. It was really that lightbulb moment that made me like it more than I would have without it. I agree, I LOVE listening to Jackson Pearce talk..she's just a cool person and HILARIOUS and that goes a long way with me.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532578221844013610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769622905097436756.post-14253647423128493342012-12-21T01:09:26.939-06:002012-12-21T01:09:26.939-06:00WOOHOO!

Since I haven't read Harry Potter, yet, no movies for me! <br /><br />You know, I wasn't crazy about FATHOMLESS. Maybe because I didn't read the first two? I heard Pearce speak at a book thing in October and loved her, thought the book sounded intriguing, I LOVE that cover, etc. but it didn't hook me. I'm glad you liked it!<br /><br />Also, bonus points for a Friends reference, always. :-)KariBradley7https://www.blogger.com/profile/03914583355490939003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769622905097436756.post-75337213805892997122012-12-20T16:24:41.888-06:002012-12-20T16:24:41.888-06:00Oh man I haven't seen Friends in so long!
