Other than the Goldsboro website, I have not heard anything about the series in the states. I doubt anyone is going to make a seven movie series like Harry Potter.

    I thought Disney had bought the rights to this series??

    Actually, I see it's Fox.

    Reviews have not been kind to her and one point that constantly comes up is that being compared to Rowling was actually a disservice. Read a few reviews on Goodreads and you'll see what I mean. People got mad because they expected a competent, well-written story.

    Looking at the artwork online, it seems to be a part of the design not actual damage.

    Joe - You may be right. I looked again closely and it could be the cover design. If that's the case - the design not looking so good....

    I think the Bone Season has the same look, it just didn't translate well to a red cover.

    Anybody have the ARC? The one I picked up has this section 109 sticker on it (resale law under the US Code). I'm trying to decide whether to remove it...

    I would take it off. I had that same sticker on two different proofs from seller "gmedia" on ABE that I got very recently. I don't know the meaning of the sticker but I don't think it is specific to any particular proof or title.

    Very low key signing tonight. She was with Sarah J. Maas so there was lots of "girl talk" between the two, including "hot guys & sexy times". I was cracking up but my husband couldn't take it. LOL.

    I ended up standing at the table for quite a while waiting for Sarah to sign, so I got to chat with Samantha. She ended up doodling in my books while I waited. I'll post pics tomorrow. They are quite funny.

    Wow. Of all the gin joints at ABE we bought at the same. Sticker removed, altho I don't know why they felt a need to put one on.

    gmedia listed a lot of proofs on ABE recently and I have seen that sticker on the books that I and others acquired from her. I wonder if she is putting them on all of the proofs she sells to cover herself legally somehow?

    Signing pics from last night. Samantha will sign anything you bring.





    I picked up Sarah's books because she was hysterical plus I'm a sucker for cool cover art! I'll give them a try.








    Because Outlander!




    I have a pic with Samatha but I look like a troll (she's 5'11") and it won't be posted

    Came back from the event - it was great. Samantha talked and read from the new book. Then Q&A - she is so funny - long answers to short questions. You can tell she is young and not used to talk in front of big crowd (and she said that...). Had the chance to chat with her while she was signing my books (got few mime order and some books I brought with me). I told her about our SK group and that she has some SK collectors fans... She loved it.

    Finally I took a photo with her - Becca was correct !!!
