I might have to buy a copy for my home library. :)<br /><br />Zibilee,<br /><br />Yes, I think it's the most light-hearted fairy book I've found, probably because it's really about the humans, not the fairies (which tend to have a mean streak, don't they?).Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-48793122352968466912011-02-14T11:49:38.848-06:002011-02-14T11:49:38.848-06:00This book sounds like so much fun, and a lot diffe...This book sounds like so much fun, and a lot different than most of the other faerie books out there right now.

I've been moving books out of my office and I've managed to fill two bags with discards but they're so, so pretty and I just adore a stack of books.

The first cover depicted a white heroine and the heroine in the book has . . . I can't remember if she's just described as "dark-skinned" or she's mixed race or what, but the author was unhappy with the cover and there was an uproar amongst book book bloggers, authors and twitterers from both camps, which eventually did help to sway the publisher and resulted in a new cover that was more accurate to the heroine. I think I'm actually more interested in fairies than the topic of Liar, but I'll eventually read it because my interest was piqued.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-76577734382506592612011-02-12T23:24:14.737-06:002011-02-12T23:24:14.737-06:00Megan,

If not for Liar and the big controversy over that cover, it might have taken me a very long time to find this author and book, so I guess the whole big thing had some definite benefits (hopefully a positive effect in the business of cover creation, as well). <br /><br />Oh, yes, it's a real upper. If you read a lot of depressing books it's a great one to wedge in between two of them. And, thank you. :)<br /><br />Inside a Book,<br /><br />I didn't mean to hold onto it long enough to get fined! I like to keep a book in the house till I review, though, and I lingered a little too long. It's a really fun book.<br /><br />Nope, you didn't miss anything! I just got Radio Shangri-La, yesterday. I am really anxious to read it, but I've got quite a ridiculous number of February releases I've yet to even start reading, so it'll be a while. You should see a lot of reviews soon, though. I noticed TLC Book Tours is going to be featuring it as one of their tour books.<br /><br />70-75 is about my upper limit and then I start getting grumpy. I've always said I don't belong in the Deep South (although I'm fine with dry heat) but God apparently has a sense of humor.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-60863727872667144482011-02-12T23:17:04.916-06:002011-02-12T23:17:04.916-06:00Hm, I haven't heard about either books, Liar o...Hm, I haven't heard about either books, Liar or this one.
