Of course, by that point I'd already bought it, but that was fine with me. :D <br /> When I saw Graceling and read the jacket, I knew that I'd discovered a new favorite author. And I was right. :D The other book I bought that day didn't fare so well. I'm still sulky, because I didn't think it would be very good, and...well...it wasn't. Next time I'll listen to my instincts!<br /> Oh, I should mention, my library has only one copy of Fire. Happily, as library staff, I had *almost* first dibs (heh heh), but the competition to check it out is fierce! Some Brian Blackburn or else Brad Blackbriar or Bilius Bracklefoot (okay, probably not that) put a hold on it before my sister could finish reading it. Mournfulness ensued. <br /><br /> However, it's a good sign for you!
