deborah... the kind that takes no work at all.
I had a number of people over this weekend, and my galley copy of Kristin Cashore's Graceling was sitting on the mantelpiece. Over the course of the weekend, one person asked to borrow it; one person said "I've seen so much buzz about that book; I must read it;" two people were seen walking around holding it and reading the first few pages; and one person read the entire book between midnight and 7 a.m..
I don't think I'm worried about this book's success, is all I can say.
(Completely irrelevant note: my dictation software decided "success" should be spelled "sixth ass". I think this is a fascinating concept. What exactly is the Sixth Ass? What are the first five? are they some kind of magical beings that role the publishing world? Are they concerned with our literary experience? How does the Sixth one differ ?)
