You are 100% correct about both the Shakespeare angle and the humor thing.

I think you'd appreciate where it is Lisa goes with the main character in Perchance to Dream - it's very much the opposite of, say, Twilight, and very much about Girl Power.

Probably you communicated fine, and I misapprehended. I shall pop back into my post and fix that detail. Plus actually link to the ELS review. Duh.

I love the sound of these books - will definitely have to add to the wish list!

[kellyrfineman]

I think they're pretty great. Hope you like them!

That cover alone makes me want Perchance to Dream- if you haven't made it to my LJ today, I finally picked Eyes Like Stars back up and loved it as much as you knew I would (I just had to be in the Spring Break mindset, apparently). And I must say, I am very much smitten with Ariel as well, and it's all about the way Mantchev has written him (nevermind that The Tempest is my second-favorite Shakespeare play!). Also, I read Nate with a Scottish accent, for some reason, and wound up quite fond of him as well.

"Cupcake crumbs make fairy hands unclean" - love it! Love Pease! I think I am going to post a photo of me with my copy of Eyes Like Stars to lisamantchev's comments this week to try to win an ARC of Perchance to Dream :)

Do eet. Post the photo. I hope you win the book!

I thought you'd love it. I read Nate as vaguely Irish, given his use of words like "lass", so I'm pretty certain you and I are onto something here. I'll have to ask Lisa about it when I interview her!

Thanks for the reminder to get both books.

Eyes Like Stars ought to be available in softcover tomorrow. I think that goes for Canada as well as the U.S., but I'm not 100% positive.
