Fantastic - that must be an amazing feeling

It certainly is, but very weird, too. I keep wondering who this 'Katherine Bruce' person is. *snicker*

Congratulations! I sent off a cheque for mine, oh, *yesterday* (just call me Mrs Organised) so it may be a few days before it arrives....

Erm, yes, possibly just a few. Still, at least you've ordered/paid now... *g*

Mine's here too! Love the pic of you on the back - now I can picture you as I read it!
Very shiny indeed - many congratulations :-)

I'm glad you like the photo! I hope it to be a lot thinner next time...

Excellent news KB. Congratualtions!

Oooh - how exciting.

I have managed to thoroughly confuse myself over GGB ordering - I was fairly sure I ordered a copy but it hasn't arrived yet. I must consult my cheque book stubs.

I know exactly how you feel KB! Does it still feel unreal for you too?

Absolutely! It should be on a computer screen, darn it, not on paper. *lol*

Ooh! I must listen for comments coming from [livejournal.com profile] dozydormouse, then, to see when the box for the London group arrives. I hope it's by Friday - I need sustenance!

So, does it look all shiny and wonderful?
 
posted by [identity profile] katherine-b.livejournal.com at 11:29pm on 15/11/2005
*lol* It certainly does! *pets book* Hope you get it soon!

I just got mine. I read it in one sitting and I loved it. I've had a rotten week and it made me feel much better so thank you. You've written a damn good comfort read. If you wnat I'll try and say something more intelligent when I am less tired.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much! Comfort reading was exactly what I was aiming for (after all, isn't the whole series this?) so I'm delighted to hear you feel that way. Was there anything you didn't like or thought didn't fit?

Will tomorrow do? Just been to see HP&GoF in town, so once again I'm tired.

A few thoughts for now. I particularly liked Katherine James and Gwensi's reactions when Peace in Europe was declared it was so EBDish to immediately remind them the war wasn't over. The bit about Luigia made me tear up too. Con Stewart's letter and the reappearance of Margia were also highs. I always wanted to know what happened to Margia. It was also an ELinorish (is that a word) technique to insert the letter. I'm sure I'll think of something more intelligent when I've slept and will let you know.

Have added you to my friends list I hope you don't mind.

Heather, who must go to bed because it's tomorrow already here.

I'm glad the letter works. I was worried it might have been too long. And I have always liked Margia, so I was certainly going to include her if I could! The chapters describing the Peace announcement were probably more work than the rest of the book put together, so I'm glad they flow and tell the story well!

I've just finished mine too and loved it - it's been a rotten week for me too (I share a house with [livejournal.com profile] dozydormouse).

I have a complaint however, I was reading it on the way to a job interview this morning and was sitting on the train trying not to cry.

Red eyes wasn't the look I was after! However managed to pull myself together and not look like a total wreck...

Thank you so much for such a wonderful story - can't wait for the next one :)

Oh, dear, I do apologise for the red eyes! I hope you got the job - perhaps you were all glowing on the inside from the power of the story. *see me grasp at straws* Glad you enjoyed it and friended you!

I had ordered it after all and now it has arrived and I am just off to read it ;-)

Delighted to hear it. Hope you enjoy it!
