Seems like between us we should, somehow, amongst all your minions, know someone who knows Collin Firth, and that we could maybe, SOME WAY get him to come to the launch party. Wouldn't that be GraNd?!!
I would just like to say that my 23-year-old sister and I (her 15-year-old little sister) spent a couple hours of our precious easter break together sitting down and reading Rapunzel's Revenge together like a pair of 5 year olds fighting over page turns with only one break.
Cool! I will have to read Austenland first though :D. There are only three of your books I haven't read, Austenland, Rapunzel's Revenge, and Calamity Jack. My library doesn't seem to have them:(. I'll find them somewhere!
It is a perfect cover. It would make me want to read it even if I didn't like Jane Austen or Shannon Hale or reading in general. But since I DO like all three of those things, it makes it all the more exciting.
oh, wow, it's so PRETTY. And, well, pretty! I love the detail with the torch. And I love her dress an awful lot.

The cover has gotten me so intrigued with its full moon and kind of eerie feel. Also I love the flashlight!
