This year really came through reading-wise. Initially, I didn't know what to expect. And I think I was a little surprised to find myself feeling a strong pull right from the beginning of the year to published books. I tried quite a few new-to-me authors with more abandon than I have in recent years—something I'm proud of and hope to continue. Not all of them worked in just an Angie-like way, but regret never entered the room. I passed them on. To the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood, to the used bookstore down the street that I love, to my own public library in donations. Someone will love them. It didn't have to be me. And I loved giving them that little push along their way to the homes of the people who would soak up their words and hold them tight. What a gift books are. How much I need them and how grateful I am at the end of this year for the ones that came and continued on their way—but most especially for the ones that came to stay. And so, as has long bee...
THIS IS SO EXCITING! But how are we supposed to wait until September?
ReplyDeleteI know. The eternal question . . .
DeleteA four part series, eh? I guess that makes us quadruple lucky :) Wonder what Miss Stiefvater thought of Beyonce's baby name...
ReplyDeleteKatie, exactly. :) And I hadn't thought of the name connection there. That's funny.
DeleteOoo. Interesting! Four part series? I'm checking out the links.
ReplyDeleteYup. It sounds just so very much fun, doesn't it?
DeleteI'm definitely getting the books. Want. And now you're blog has nested replies!!
DeleteLol. It does indeed. What do ya think?
DeleteDoes anyone know what it's about or if it's paranormal?
ReplyDeleteAllie, the link is to her announcement where she includes a summary. It is paranormal (or supernatural, at least) and includes a search for a Welsh king, bad boys, ancient curses, etc. So basically all the good stuff. ;)
DeleteBRING IT! That's how I felt when I saw her announcement too. I'm so glad she's getting to write the novels that she started when she was younger. Hope this one is just as good as The Scorpio Races.
ReplyDeleteI know. Those stories fascinate me about her as a young writer and how those ideas are being allowed to see the light of day now.
DeleteOh man, I'm a total Stiefvater whore as of late. I'm listening to Shiver on audio, and reading Scorpio Races on the side, and pretty much had heart palpitations when I saw this cover. Yay!
ReplyDeleteHehe. I know the feeling. I love glomming onto an author and just tearing through everything she wrote.
DeleteI just saw this one yesterday too!! Cannot wait.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. After THE SCORPIO RACES, how are we supposed to wait with anything resembling decorum?
DeleteI love not knowing much, too.
ReplyDeleteLets us savor the possibilities...
