umm ok i am the one and only HIPPY CHILD (also known as anorexicfrog, flyingmarshmallow, padfootROX and xXchrrypieXx.... or katherine)
the pellinor series ROCKS and i am majorlly jealous of everybody that lives in australia WHY MOST I HAVE TO WAIT TILL SEPTEMBER!!! *sob*

but yes i am a teenager and a girl

and i really dont know what else to say at this point, wait im i supposed to make a new thread for this oh well sorry

Hey!

Yeah, that is okay that you posted here, no worries...

I know, I wish I lived in Australia! It is sooo beautiful there, and we wouldn't be in pain waiting for The Singing!

yes cuz i am way to broke to pay $50 for a book if i bought from an austrailian place
*sigh* i guess i'll just have to suffer through summer without it

ah, yes...I have a lot of books waiting for me to read them, and I figure, I can wait it out for the end of summer.

HI Hippy Child! (sorry is that too much enthusiasm?)
Sorry, I haven't met many Pellinor fans.
^^ so, jealous of anyone living in Australia? wow, that's a first, I must say though. I've always been jealous of you guys, in the US! There always seem to be more great books and great authors (and their book tours) over there early than with the scarce few over here. (I'd say Pellinor is one of them)

we just really want to read the book!!!!!!

-groans because we have to wait more-

Eh? I read on the US Alison Croggon site that The Singing releases it the U.S in March, 2009. Is that true?

For some reason I don't think so....


I think it comes out this year sometime....


lemme check.

Nope. I was wrong.

You were right.

MARCH 10, 2009!


-groan-

That is so much longer than I was hoping!!

I can relate. That's the same with me and early US book releases but I suppose I've never had to make a year.

Why don't you order a copy from the internet?

I think there is a way that the publishers or internet people make sure that people don't get the books until the release date in the country...but I may be wrong.

I really wish we could get the books from other countries. There is another Australian writer, Juliet Marillier, that I have fallen in love who has two more books out, but not in the US.

yeah...


what books has she written?

I've read wildwood dancing which has a sequel coming out, and it was a retelling of the Twelve dancing princesses. I really liked that one. Then I've also read the sevenwaters trilogy which starts with Daughter of the Forest. That one was a retelling of The Six Swans, and was also really good. There is a fourth coming out for that trilogy. I always think it's wierd when that happens. I believe she is also working two other series. She has a different style than I'm used to, but I think it is really cool.

Twelve Dancing Princesses
Daughter of the Forest
The Six Swans

what are those from? The originals?
