Graceling. And Fire.

Pretty much everyone who knows me knows that I loved Graceling.

I've been looking forward to reading Fire for ages, and I even have an ARC, but I've been waiting to read it because I know I'll want to blabber about it and I don't want everyone to get all mad at me for talking about a book that isn't available.  SO.  Here's the next best thing:

Graceling won the 2009 Mythopoeic Award for Children's Lit!  Hooray!

Kristin Cashore is going to be at the Harvard Book Store on Tuesday, November 10th at 7pm!  (It's not up at their website yet, but I have it on good authority.  And I will link when it goes up.)

An article about the Harcourt/Penguin collaboration -- I think that they handled a tough situation fabulously.

(Thanks to HBS Steve for the award link, etc.)
