But wait, there's more!! If you go to five blogs (including Seanan's) and solve a few puzzles, you can unlock another excerpt. Fun times! I've already read the damn thing, and I'm still excited about this shit.

I was shocked at the difference between the book and the movie too: Little Princess. I liked the book WAY better because it seemed realistic. And the little girls were really hateful.
I have not read it since I was a kid, but I dug it.
Oh and I was like (at age 9 or 10), referring to the movie: "how is this a happy ending when he doesn't even remember who she is?"

The Ten Grumpiest Living Writers. Guess who's first? No, really, just guess.

Some of those writers are grumpy, and some make other people grumpy.
I knew
Harlan Ellison

I wonder if Caitlin Kiernan is grumpy that she's not on that list. Yet.
