And that we convinced you to read it! I think that's basically the biggest perk of book blogging, tbh, reading AWESOME books that you would never have heard of on your own. E.g. Ready Player One!

Await Your Reply is very different - somewhat slow in parts but it all comes together in a way I could have never guessed. That's why I compared it to The Usual Suspects.<br /><br />Too bad about Mr. Penumbra - I though it would be a new favorite of mine!<br /><br />I hope all is well with you too. :)Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780185535345559390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-73884962534664230062013-02-04T16:52:50.731-06:002013-02-04T16:52:50.731-06:00I'm really interested in BONK.

Now that you compare it to The Usual Suspects, Justin's all time favorite movie, I vow to complete both! <br /><br />I agree with your thoughts on Mr. Penumbra's. It was cute, but the ending really killed it. And the characters were definitely flat.<br /><br />Hope you're well!
