I thought today would be the perfect day to review this unicorn of a book. It is All Saints' Day—a fitting day to revisit all the crooked ones, no? It is also the first day of November and so, today, . . . well, you know the rest. What I'm saying is, today is kind of the perfect day to do all the Maggie Stiefvater-related things! Which is, of course, why I'll be attending her signing event later this evening at my local indie, key in hand. I know. I win today. I do. What I do not do is take it for granted.

ReplyDeleteOh, that's great news! Now all that's left for me to do is to actually read the book, who's been sitting in my TBR pile forever!
ReplyDeleteCam, seriously. Fingers crossed.

ReplyDeleteWell I think it will be a great film. However, I need more opinions. Why do you think it will be a successful film or not? I would be really grateful if I receive some opinions.

great post, i really like, you did a great job.
