This similar things has happened to me a couple of times. I got Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1) by Orson Scott Card , The Icarus Agenda by Robert Ludlum , Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury , The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury , Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury , The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury , Space by James A. Michener , The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold all the same way as you did, from book sales under a dollar each signed by the authors.

To answer your question, I would just go to http://www.tomfolio.com/ to search up for the author's signature. They have all different author's signature there. Then I would compare if its the same as the one in the book. Hope that helps.

Be sure to let us know your thoughts on it, Alondra. I love Anne Rice's writing, but there's been many mixed reviews, so I'd love to read your review.:)

gladly, Dustin. I don't think it will be a game-changer as far as werewolf stories go. i also don't think she will set the tone for them either with this book, the way she did with her vampire series, which I loved. Of course, i am only 93 pages in and it is flowing nicely. The guy is a little hung up on another character a wee bit much, for something not hokey to be going on. I will have to find out what the 'connection' is, if there is one. humpf.

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 612 comments Finished Bag of Bones last night and I really enjoyed it this time around. Then this morning I went to write my review and the damn computer ate it while I was working on it. And it was shaping up to be a decent review I thought... Really ticked me off. So I will have to try it again later when I'm a little more calm... >.<

Scott | 401 comments I just finished Odd Thomas. I liked it but I knew what was going to happen at the very end so that kind of took away from my enjoyment a little.

Now I'm going to start 12.21: A Novel.

I really enjoyed Ford County, did you? Still the Grisham, but a little more thrill to it too. He should try more short stories in the future, I really like it.

I have the movie, and didn't know it was a book before I watched it a few years ago. It's very cute. :)

Great to hear! I haven't officially started it yet, but I did like the movie, and I've only heard good things about Gaiman. His stories seem very interesting and unique. :)

You are very welcome.:) I'm glad.

It really is an amazing piece of work. I think everyone should read it at least once. It's one of my all-time favorite books, actually!
