For a fact, Private Arrangements is one of this year’s most talked about books. And while that normally means it’s awful, I’m happy to say that isn’t the case for this one. 🙂 And that, my dear friends, is why Sherry is guesting today because the book really is THAT GOOD.
It is always a fear of mine that when a book is built up so much, there is no way it can live up to the hype. So when I read this forever and a day ago I was beyond excited to realize it was great. And emailed her I think a year ago and said “you have to guest.”
Ten to one she thought I was insane, most likely she still does.
Stick around and meet the author. Learn a bit more about the book and than tomorrow when you buy it keep your receipt because I need it. Yep… more on that in a min. (And shit I knew I was forgetting to do something. GWEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Ooooo—-kay.
*waiting (im)patiently for someone to translate*
Is that better Azteclady? I did a little Sybilish to English translation.
:laughing helplessly:
Oh man, Gwen! 😆
le sigh it isn’t THAT bad
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!
Bev my dear you will LOVE this book. IT is soooooooooooooooo your 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!
Damn it!
It was not THAT bad.
Have you read the excerpt? Of the Book!
As the one who started it all, I gotta say… Sybil is right, it wasn’t that bad.
I wish I had seen the original :P. 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 :P.
