First HTDYF review

Well, this was a lovely thing to wake up to: The first review of How To Ditch Your Fairy (who’s pub date is in September so the earliest it’s likely to appear would be August) and it’s a good ‘un, also excellently non-spoilery.

The review is by Jocelyn of TeenBookReview and in what I’ve decided is a very good omen she is very enthusiastic:

I sat down and started reading this book as soon as it arrived in the mail, and I didn’t put it down until I was finished; I didn’t even notice the time passing, that’s how caught up I was in the story. It’s fun and interesting and has a main character I absolutely couldn’t get enough of! Charlie is seriously awesome, as is this book, and you should all read it as soon as possible.

I blush and am full of chuffage.1 I had a lot of fun writing HTDYF so it’s really wonderful to hear that people are having as much fun reading it.

    YAY! I can’t wait to read it! I sure hope I enjoy it as much as she did.
    In other news, I thoroughly enjoyed Paper Towns.
    On other other news I miss your polls. You haven’t updated the polls recently.

    Oh wow, how exciting! I try to have some ethics, but I will confess I was sorely tempted when I saw an ARC of this book on eBay…hehe. Oh well, Magic Lessons is waiting for me on a hold shelf at the library right now, and that’s enough!

    I wants it so much! The library refuses to put a hold on it for me — they just send me letters telling me it comes out September, when I am the one who obediently put that in the “more information” section of an advanced hold form…
