That's awful. The book's only 300 pages long! Take it back to the bookshop---they'll replace it with a non-defective copy. Tap: Oh no! That’s awful. The book’s only 300 pages long!

You have given far too much away, and now I can only wait for the sequel and hope that you don't choose to do something similar with it! ; ) BTW, how has the tour food been?

My [eyeballs] looked funny in the [glass jar], which is odd because my [pupils] are tiny. 26. I put the heavy pile of [comics] on the floor in front of me and turned the [first issue of] [shi] over, carefully placing it on the floor on top of the [usagi] [yojimbo graphic novel]. um, yeah, i should go write my novel instead of rewriting yours. heh. you are hilarious, justine! this just makes those of us who haven’t read it more eager to do so, you tricksy minx!

I'm going to pretend I haven't read the first sentence of Chapter 13 now. *shakes fist* Also, YAY HTDYF Day! I have it on hold at the library but I may have to go and buy a copy because they are VERY SLOW with new books unless said new books are by J.K. Rowling. And I'm not sure I can wait for months and months to read this. Personally, I find pronouns VERY spoilery. I’m going to pretend I haven’t read the first sentence of Chapter 13 now. *shakes fist*

I've actually had the book for about a week now (preordered on borders, they sent it early) and I'm loving it. I'm glad it's out in stores now so that my friends can all go buy it & we can discuss it :) As for spoilers, you might want to edit the fairy list. I was looking through it last night & the Burnham-Stone one spoiled me a teensy bit. Hahaha, that’s great Justine, I love the footnotes.
