    Well, it’s definitely a possibility for next year, just by changing the date, I’m sure. If we don’t get enough to meet the minimum this year, I’m pretty sure they’ll be back if Read-a-Thon 2011 happens. :-)

    We were looking at setting up a print-on-demand store, but that ended up with $25 shirts, and we knew that wasn’t going to fly. To keep the price low (and really, it’s about as low as we can get it), we have to meet a minimum order, which is why we’re only looking for a definite yes or no.
    Janin, did you vote in the poll?

    The Myst Reader by Rand and Robyn Miller with David Wingrove. 930 pages.

    Very good for Myst fanatics like myself. I honestly can’t say how a non-Myst-fan would like it.

    Running total: 2,323 pages.

    They would be $13.99 with US shipping.

    The later ones in that series are better, especially DragonQuest and DragonKnight. And Donita K. Paul’s other book, The Vanishing Sculptor (which has been retitled but I can’t think of what that title is…) is very good.

    Personally, I barely finished book 2. Paolini tends to meander amateurishly through his story, which could have been cut down to at least a third of the size, if not more. That, and the series (as far as I read before getting disgusted) tends to mirror LOTR and Star Wars in plot line, and also takes potshots at Christianity multiple times in book 2.

    I had planned on reading the third one, but when I heard it didn’t get any better and started with a pagan sacrifice ritual or something, I decided I had much better things to read.
    (And my apologies to any Eragon fans I’ve possibly offended.)

    I’m under the impression that Edmund isn’t being arrogant about his former kingship, more that he’d like to show his battle prowess. We’ll see.

    I wanted to hear Caspian’s voice, so I’m rather disappointed with that aspect.
    And I don’t know about everybody else, but I’m frankly quite glad that they’ve added some action parts. Especially in the slave market. It always seemed weird to me that Pug never put up any fight when Caspian put him out of business.

    Avatars on this forum require a Gravatar account, which will also give you an avatar that shows up anywhere else on the Internet that uses Gravatars.

    And by signatures, do you mean images? Because you have a signature right now. :-)

    I didn’t, though I did wake up an hour afterward and geek out over the fact that the trailer had been out for an hour! And then I couldn’t get back to sleep…
