I wish I had seen the original . Normally I hate book trailers, but this was great. I’m so sad I missed out on all the awesome Sherry Thomas prizes. I was/am super sick. Feel like I died, and some very not-talented magician revived me. Badly. At least I can read over everything today, since I’ve already called off on all 3 jobs this wk .

As the one who started it all, I gotta say… Sybil is right, it wasn’t that bad.

Damn it! It was not THAT bad. Have you read the excerpt? Of the Book!

Bev – you’re reading the translation. The first version was, shall we say, rife with Sybilisms? I had to IM her to get her to help me translate. THAT was an IM conversation I wish I had saved.

PHEW! I read that post like 4 times trying to figure out why Azteclady needed it translated. Twas scary when I thought Sybilish seemed normal to me.

Twas even more scary to hear that even YOU couldn’t translate the original!

Either my brain now interprets Sybilish as being quite reasonable (scary thought, that), or I am reading the After-Gwen-translated-it version.

Anyway, between Alicia’s review and this freakin’ entertaining trailor (one of the most effective I’ve seen), I have to admit that I WANT to read this book… NOW!

Is that better Azteclady? I did a little Sybilish to English translation.
