I ordered your book through "All on the same page" bookstore here in St. Louis. They're a small independently owned bookstore (right between a New York-style Authentic Deli and a gorgeous Thai restaurant that also serves sushi.)

I actually ordered three copies. One for me, one for my friend, and one to loan out and dangle in front of people, while I say "Neener Neener!"

I tried to persuade the co-owner that he ought to order several of your books and display them prominently in his YA section (which not only exists but is pretty awesome) but he would have made me pay for them all. I am not made of moneys. Sigh.

In retrospect, I ought to have ordered as many as I could afford and then given them as Christmas gifts this year. Hmm. Perhaps I'll go do that now...

Holy gosh! Three copies is more than I could ever, ever ask for, so a) thank you very much and b) do not feel you have to buy more! And also, thank you a second (and also a millionth) time for talking me up. ;)

OMG, I had no idea there was a bookstore (much less an indie) in Creve Coeur! I know where I'll be stopping on my way home from work. Woo-hoo! Bookstore close to home! ::does the Snoopy happy dance::

Ahem. Apologies, sarah, for Woot!-ing out on your LJ...but...bookstores close to home: very exciting.

[sarahtales]

Very. ;)

No little quirky independent bookstore *sighs

Unromantic ebook for me

[sarahtales]

Well, any bookstore should order a book in, but I sorrow for your indielessness, and of course ebooks are much loved and appreciated!

Not that I wasn't going to read Unspoken, anyway, but just making the connection now, how much it has in common with Northanger Abbey...! LOVE that book. Totally underappreciated for Austen... which isn't saying much, but still, it always bugs me when scholars brush it off as being "lesser" of her works. ("Lesser" of Jane Austen is up with the "greatest masterpieces" of most writers). Also, Henry Tilney is one of my biggest literary crushes and definitely my favorite Austen hero, so there, grouchy Mr. Darcy.

[sarahtales]

Henry Tilney is pretty babelicious, no lie.

Shall request from indie because am certain do not have it as never have What I Am Looking For. :D

I went into my bookstore today and found out that they had NOT ordered unspoken as I had asked for months ago, but another novel that they thought I would like. AGHHHH. After mewling like an infant, i drove to Barnesand Nobles to purchase it, but they don;t have any sense or taste in books, so Unspoken is not there., I just reordered it today. Despite the fact that I read the arc on netgalley, I still want the book in my grubby hands, so I can ignore my professional and parental responsibilities and read it all the time.

[sarahtales]

Aw, thank you! And I am sorry about B&N, and the mystifying other book ordered for you!
