ZOMG someone else has read Shannon Hale?! I keep trying to force her on people and they ignore me. *sigh* I love Goose Girl and Princess Academy surprised me by being completely awesome.

I love Brandon too, but I'm a little biased because I helped with the publicity for his next book and not liking his writing would've made it *really* hard to read that enormous trilogy.

(Also seconding the oh-please-stop-making-us-look-psycho thing. It's starting to drive me a little crazy.)
