It is! The question also involved simultaneous equations and algebra. I eventually muddled it out and tried to explain it to the kid - um, suffice to say I don't have a career in education. lol!

In my computer....most of the time and Pennsylvani
I can't wait to start reading it. Haha, it arrived a few days ago and unfortunately by the time I got it I had already started reading another book so I have to wait until I finish the book I am currently reading before I can start it.

I'm tempted to cheat and start reading it anyways, though.

The awkward moment when I'm not scared of the Silence... jk, I know I'm not the only one. I'm scared of the Vashta Nerada and the Weeping Angels.

A world of pure imagination...
Vashta Narada and the Weeping Angels are *WAY* more creepy than the Silence. Just my opinion. But...Yeah. I think my favorite antagonist ever is the Master, though. I just love him. ...Especially in End of Time.

I was almost finished with Wildefire when TFIOS arrived. I put it on hold without a second thought.

I bought the audiobook of WALK IN HELL, which has one of my favorite covers ever

It's hard to see, but the mile marker? That says "Montreal, 11 Miles"

It's an alternate history, where the Confederacy won the Civil War...and now fights the Great War with the USA. Canada stands in for Belgium!

I don't think of the Master as an antagonist. I think of him as the Doctor's best friend and true love.

-harcore shipper here-

don't get me wrong, I also ship 10/Rose! And Doctor/River! I ship many many things.

I hate Plato.

ETA Correction: I hate having to read page after page after page of Plato. Especially when I'd much rather be sleeping, and it takes *FOREVER* to read.

Hi, guys. :)

I figured something out earlier. I don't have to do an allnighter to hit 20K at the weekend. I can write for a set number of hours, sleep, and then get up, have brekkie and get ready, and then go to Starbucks. :D

I might pick a John Green book to read over the summer and/or when I finish reading stuff for uni and my TBR pile (some of which is for uni).

The problem is... I don't know which book to get first.

ETA: I am totally going to have a lesbian wedding in Sticks and Stones.

Also: I just found my deadline for my essay is next week. I hope I can get the books I want tomorrow.

My biased opinion: Paper Towns

My slightly less biased opinion: Paper Towns or Looking for Alaska. All his books are brilliant, but those are his best IMO. An Abundance of Katherines is great too. I'm reserving full judgement of TFIOS until I finish reading it.
