RT review for BRING IT ON

[lagilman]

Okay, is it really bad that I'm depressed that I'm back down to 'only' four stars (out of a possible but very rare five), after getting four and a half for Curse the Dark?

Still. Four stars for Bring it On. And comments like "charming," "as exciting and volatile as ever" and "Wren's an engaging heroine, and it's a joy to spend more time in her world" totally rock my day. :-)

*does little happy author chair-dance, while still maintaining decorum befitting... okay, there's no decorum whatsoever. *


I have celebrated with a pistachio torrone bar. So very bad, and yet so very very good for me... :-)



Note: our own EBear and Sarah Monette also get four-star reviews on the very same page. LJ rocks the house!

Actually, I think they changed it from 5 stars to 4 1/2 Gold (sounds more impressive, I guess).

And I've been meaning to congratulate you on the 4 stars even though it's something of a downgrade. I saw that last week (as I was checking out my first review) and meant to tell you and then promptly forgot.

You did get a plethora of awesome quotes out of it; that makes up for the loss of the half-star, doesn't it? :-)

I write copy for a partial living, I can make a quote out of (almost) anything. *grin*

But yeah, people-not-related saying nice things makes the day that much nicer.


And... first review? Did you tiptoe up on it, hoping to catch it off-guard, looking-but-not-looking until your brain said it was okay to process it?

(not that I did anythng of the sort with my first. I had someone else look and tell me.)

I would have tiptoed if I could have, but I didn't even know it had come out-- so a friend of mine, who is v.v. kind, emailed me the Great Quote and warned me that the review itself was only three stars. Which, understandably, I was bummed about, but after I read the review itself (and the other three YA reviews) I actually didn't feel quite so bad. Way I look at it, I'm going to bag the three stars, and pimp the great quote for all it's worth. :-)
