Our local independent bookstore gave me an ARC of it this past weekend, which pretty much made my year! I'm SO glad you love Adam's character. He breaks my heart almost every time he's on the page. Usually everyone seems to drool over Ronan, which I get, but Adam is my favorite.<br /><br />I love that you coined the term "Story Stare." My thoughts drift far too often when I should be paying attention to other things, and now I know what to call it when that happens, like a hundred times a day! :)<br />Erin L.

Should the next agent be a surprise? Announcing each week who's up next week is one way to make sure people keep coming back. It indicates that the series is still happening, and next week's agent might just happen to be one that someone is planning to query. That's my two-cents for what it's worth.<br /><br />As for "Story Stares"--I get this when, in the midst of a conversation, someone says something that triggers a chain of thoughts in my head that ends up in a Shiny New Idea. I really struggle to keep paying attention and not start working on the SNI in my head. :)<br /><br />Have a great reading/writing week!! :DColin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169405637077740992.post-33649457342881379402013-09-11T09:00:56.877-04:002013-09-11T09:00:56.877-04:00I'm with you on loving THE DREAM THIEVES -- th...I'm with you on loving THE DREAM THIEVES -- the boys are so incredibly well-drawn. I'm a Gansey girl through-and-through. Perhaps we can double date. :-) <br /><br />Love the new term you've coined. I've had a bad case of the Story Stares lately too.
