Silver Billings Reading Cynder was just a delight, I'm going through a really hard time in my life and reading is really the only escape I get from life. I picked up the audio at the library, not knowing it had just gotten into the library and I was the first to check it out. Today I'm ordering Cinder and Scarlet on amazon and saw the picture of you at the book fair, you're so adorable!!!

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that!


Shelby I just finished your book (which I have been DESPERATLY wanting) and let me just say, it was worth the wait. It was one of the best books I have read in a while, and I loved the setting as much as the plot and characters. I don't know if I'll be able to wait until 2013 for the next book!

You forgot to post the reveal of The Lunar Chronicles # 5: Beauty (as in a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, my favorite fairy tale of all time!)
