So, without anymore gushing, I’ll dive right into how and why I ripped through this book in 4 days.
I don’t know how far her reach is, right now, but she’s already created a cult fanbase worthy of her own antholgist, Althea Proserpine. That’s my long-winded way of saying, I was HYPED for this book, my friends were hyped for this book. Like everyone else, I can’t wait for life to go back to normal, but if virtual events are here to stay, I won’t be mad about it, $30 is a lot for a book, but a lot cheaper than a plane ticket. One of my fanboy friends ‘picked me up’ fifteen minutes early, and we trekked to Albert’s NYC home to watch together. I’m not a big fan of enamel pins, but I’m a diehard fangirl, so I’m already here- give me all the merch. We all became Ellory Finch and didn’t even feel weird about it.Īnd because it was 2020, it was announced that the book launch would be virtual, and cost only $30 to attend, which included the book (+shipping included), signed bookplate, and a little enamel pin.
That’s the correct way to show support of an author’s work.īy the time it arrived, a couple of my friends had discovered her genius, too, and we clasped hands together as we waited for the books to arrive.Īnd then, the news came down that she had yielded to pressure and decided to write the collection of fairytales that the two books were based around, and we lost- our- minds. I suffered in silence.) I went to a Barnes and Noble in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, while I was visiting a friend, to preorder and make sure that that thing was on my doorstep as quickly as humanly possible. But, I kept it to myself, I didn’t harass her online. In 2019, Albert started teasing her second book, The Night Country, and I got so frustrated about how long she was taking (I knoooow, I’m the worst kind of fan.
I wax pretty hyperbolic about why in the previous two posts. I discovered Melissa Albert in 2018 by just picking up The Hazel Wood at Target because that year’s reading challenge had a prompt to choose a book based on the cover. If you’re interested in purchasing, please click the image above
