Thank you! I started reading it last night and I love Jordan's voice. Slightly disorganised - always loved that sort of story telling.

It was really good! And they were discussing the state of YA literature in this country so I had fun and learnt something!

Do you live in the UK? I do and for all my author events I use www.waterstones.com and on their website there is an events section where they list all the stuff that is happening in waterstones stores across the country in that month. Since I am not longer studying I am indulging in that!

I love that website! They have so much stuff going on and if you can't make it but love an author, then they are more than happy to post the book out to you :D

Do Borders do things like that?
