Wonder if that's just a funny pre-publication name or if it really is about cows. :)Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041695477739391198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-40886604320133050932008-06-12T22:35:00.000-04:002008-06-12T22:35:00.000-04:00I've seen so many people praise this book and auth...I've seen so many people praise this book and author. I started reading this awhile ago, but I never really got into it and ended up putting it down and promptly forgot about it. Maybe I should try it again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-36968005885950098142008-06-11T12:35:00.000-04:002008-06-11T12:35:00.000-04:00I had a chance to meet Libba Bray at a book signin...I had a chance to meet Libba Bray at a book signing event last January. She's a very unique and vibrant personality, which I think comes through in her writing. I've read the first two books in the series but have yet to start on the third.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906352691388129167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-44189913055736534692008-06-09T16:19:00.000-04:002008-06-09T16:19:00.000-04:00Eva - Excellent that you'll be able to get a copy ...Eva - Excellent that you'll be able to get a copy soon! I'm sure it'll make a perfect read-a-thon selection - so definitely get on it! =D<BR/><BR/>Julie - Yes, isn't the cover so great? I'll admit that I judge a book by its cover and this one drew me right in!<BR/><BR/>Kerry - Yup, I suppose that does count. At least you'll have read it soon! =)<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth - I've already got the second book on my wish list. And series endings are such a bummer - you get all spoiled knowing there will be more and then it's ll over - I know that's how I felt with Harry Potter. I didn't want to read it right away but was afraid that if I didn't, I'd find out the ending some other way!<BR/><BR/>Marg - linked ya! Funny that we both termed it "atmospheric." It most certainly was, but I can't admit to whipping out that word to describe anything very often, so yeah, it's a little funny that it came to mind for both of us! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Nicole - glad to hear that the other books in the series are just as enjoyable. I'm always torn between rushing through a whole series and stretching out the experience because getting to the end of a great series is always a little sad. :/Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-23416236551690850662008-06-06T16:02:00.000-04:002008-06-06T16:02:00.000-04:00I read all three of these books awhile back (befor...I read all three of these books awhile back (before I had a blog).
