Although I like looking forwad to the release, because I'm basically a big kid and love the excitement of "Book-I-Want-Being-Released-Today". <br /><br />Did you know she's writing some graphic novels?!?! Or am I the only one late to this information. OMG.<br /><br />I'm hoping that Rainbow comes to your store for a signing! I am ALSO hoping she shows up at my house for a signing, but I'll wish for your thing more since that's actually possible ;-)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196903315080725315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-15362747582394239292014-02-05T16:17:42.417-05:002014-02-05T16:17:42.417-05:00Goodreads goals always seem so good in the beginni...Goodreads goals always seem so good in the beginning of the year!

Seriously, hammer that note home. I NEED to meet her. <br /><br />And Landline! I want to read that book so badly that I can't even handle it. I'm interested in seeing how she handles married/long term adult love.

I found her with perfect timing--which is unusual for me; I came to most children's classics in college--and was 11 along with her the first time I opened her pages. It was the beginning of a lifelong love affair for me, too, and your phrase "pure comfort" expresses it perfectly. I also lowered my Goodreads goal this year, and am breathing easier. Isn't it weird how we stress about self-imposed expectations?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370649604625989367noreply@blogger.com
