I'm getting the book today!!!!! My mom is getting it on the way to work though so I won't get it until like 9:30 PM!!! I can't wait! (How many times have I said that!!)
Can't get it untill tomarow. Where are the iregulars with their lock picking skills when you need them!
Isn't it odd that two books that were rather unexpected are coming out today? Extras and The Empress's Tomb. And they've both been called "made of awesome," though by different people I think.... Thus I dub today...
MADE OF AWESOME DAY!
THE OTHER DAY 9-28-07 I WENT TO THE BOOK STROE CAUSE I WAS BORED AND BY HABIT I WENT TO CHEEK TO SEE IF KIKI STIKE WAS THERE AND IT WAS YAY.
Ahh!! MUST-GET-BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sooooooo excited. me and my best freind kept on sqealing about it during.wish i could buy it, maybe after my cousins wedding. maybe i can convince my mom.by the way' noor ' is the name of a character who's somewhat like Kiki. actually i finished reading the first Kiki strike book a week ago. me and my best freind are totally hooked onto it already...
maybe i can get it from the library untill we leave for my cousins wedding.
Wahoo! Because of the promised greatness of this book I may be able to contain myself....
I'm getting it in like 20 minutes!!! Yessss!
~Dakota
I've already read half of it!!!!!!
It's sooooooooo good!
For anyone who wondered my acount profile said I was from Afganistan and was an accountant,
I'm not either, it was a mistake and now I fixed it.:)
I'M READING IT!!! So far it's great! Kirsten, you one of my favorite authors!
I finished it!!!!!!!! (at 1 in the morning!) It was FANTASTIC!
By the way... I thought it was cool that you mentioned Toledo in the book, I live in Toledo!!!
Ahhhnesss!!! I just got the book! You signed it !!!!!!! Now must lock self in room and read until I've finished, without rest or nourishment....
Neither Borders nor Barnes and Noble have it yet. They both say it's "on order" and should be here "in the next few days"... It's not even like I'm in the wilderness or anything. Feh!

I loved it!!! When is the next book coming out? (fat chance of you answering that, LOL)
hey! best book ever! i loved it. o ya, wats a good bookstore in manhattan, anaka? I'm vistiting and want to know:) thanx!
Thanks! A good bookstore? Here are a few:
The Strand (Broadway & 12th). It's a HUGE store with very cheap books. A tourist attraction in it's own right.
Shakespeare & Co (One downtown and one uptown). Classic NY bookstore.
Books of Wonder (18th Street near Sixth Ave.) Great kids' books.
And there are two great mystery bookstores: Partners in Crime (44 Greenwich Ave.) and the Mysterious Bookshop (58 Warren St.)
Have fun on your trip!
o my gosh, thank you bunches for the bookstore suggestions! I'm going to check them out tomorrow:O) Today I found this book that was just like GLIMPSES OF GOTHAM. pretty cool stuff. Thank you so much. nyc is amazing, i wish i lived here. thanks again! Go KIKI STRIKE! bye!
hey anaka, i had a question on KIKI STRIKE #1. You know the part wheneveryone was at your house and your parents said " your friend has such a lovely accent" or something like that, and you were like " kiki doesn't have an accent"
I was wondeing who they were talking about. These are the questions that haunt me...
You're a person with an eye for details. I like that. My mother has spent a lot of time in Europe and she has an excellent ear for accents. Though Kiki's accent (which she developed growing up with Verushka) is too faint for my ears to detect, it seemed obvious to my mother's!
My mother's like Professor Henry Higgins from My Fair Lady--she can tell where people grew up (and sometimes where they've lived in between) just by listening to their voices.
thanks for the info, ananka( and the compliment!) details are important. Thanks for all the info on the bookstores. I can't wait to read more about Kiki.
kiki stike obsessive
ps: if the irregulars are split up because Kiki claims the throne, I will have a cardiac arrest. no joke. as you might have read about me and fred weasley, i can be just a tad obssesive when it comes to books.
I love both of the books!!! Kirsten You are my favorite author. (trust me that's a VERY hard position to attain and is a great honor.) :)
