KRISTEN CASHORE I kind of hated Graceling (and everyone who gave it positive reviews) so much that I could care less about what she has to say about anything. I AM SURE SHE IS COOL, I JUST HATED HER BOOK.
well, we read...a story about a sad little German girl whose name starts with an L and it was just really depressing and repetitive and I was like, oh Gertrude Stein, you so grumpy. You and Ezra Pound should have, like, grumpy babies together or something.
:-D :-D
I don't believe any hype anymore either! And Cormac McCarthy just looks depressing, and I do not have time for such things. If I want to read something gritty, I'll just reread American Gods. Which is gritty and mythological.
Oh! I checked out The Graveyard Book. I am telling you this because you posted part of Neil Gaiman's Newberry Acceptance speech and the things he said about it just--made sense to me? A lot? In terms of waiting to write a story and it becoming more than it was meant to be and such, and I just--really want to read it now. So it is in my hands! I shall...get on that. :-)
