The book has just arrived, many thanks Hero! I am so looking forward to it, the very first paragraph is irresistible "In the land of Ingary, where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of three. Everyone knows you are the one that will fail first, and worst, if the three of you ever set out to seek your fortunes". An irresistible beginning.

Howl's Moving Castle has arrived! Thanks so much for the loverly postcard Kirsti. I'm in way over my head with commitments at the moment but will get to this one as soon as I'm able. I'm really looking forward to reading it. For now it sits atop my tbr stack while I read these:Love & A Bad Hair Day for review All About Romance Lives of the Monster Dogs for the Perpetually Bizarre Bookring The Crimson Spell for pgsahm's bookring Step-Ball-Change for Zmrzlina's bookring Also, it appears the book is getting very "well loved". Would you like me to put a protective coating of contact paper around the cover to keep things intact? Just send me a PM if it's ok. |

Ahhh, I'm so very sorry to everyone behind me and horribly embarrassed. I didn't realize I was this backed up and this book is so tiny. I will be finished reading it within two weeks and will ship out to the next in line pronto. I am a horrible bookring-er and deserve a good twenty lashes. Who wants to volunteer?

I noticed on the forum I caused you a bit of trouble by adding my comments to the release notes and will refrain from doing so in the future. I'm adding another journal entry in the hopes that this fixes things. Sorry about that! I did coat Howl with a nice covering of contact paper to preserve his loveliness for future readers, he was getting quite tattered :)This is such a charming little book. I purposely didn’t read the back blurb and as such wasn’t sure what to expect when I began the book (just had some vague memory of positive comments about the story) and I was continually surprised by the plot twists and turns. It’s been far too long since I’ve read something that was pleasant through and through. I enjoyed Sophie’s go with the flow attitude (can’t say as I’d be nearly as accepting and pleasant as she initially was with her transformation!) and her quirky sense of humor. Howl, the cad, was a great character. Very selfish and self-centered and almost childishly funny at times, he managed to worm his way into my good graces by giving Michael & Sophie a home without conditions or questions. This book was a lot of fun to read thanks so much for sharing! |

Oh, what a lovely, lovely book! I read it all in one sitting, in spite of my being in exams time, so that tells you how much I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing it, Hero - I'll have to find more books by the same author. I won't say much about the book because I don't want to spoil it for future readers, but I loved all the characters, particularly Sophie and Howl. I'll mail it to the next one asap. |
