I wonder now if my mother got a shiv with her copy, too.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

LOL! Ask her, why don't you? I dare you.

::rolls eyes::

I'm hoping a banning will follow...

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's hilarious! I doubt that anyone actually considering buying the book will expect a shiv ;-)

Great send-up of self-help books.

OMG - I'm still laughing - that's AWFUL and so funny...

[sunpony.livejournal.com]

Same here. Awful, yet creative! Who knew what positive effects could come from such a terrible book?

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

If a free toothbrush shiv came with the purchase of a copy of The Secret, I'd so buy it.

it's so sad to think that it will no longer be. i'm glad i had the opportunity to read it.

(Are you running the Ravens in the Library thingie, or is that someone else?)

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Not I. I just contacted some people for them.

[temporus.livejournal.com]

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I posted that to my Livejournal, I think it deserves to be read.If true, it's very powerful. And that silly book deserves to have its followers shaken up a bit...

Holy Sheep Dip!

That is just hysterical! I love it when people get creative like that. Especially with something so overrated as The Secret.

His other reviews are golden. He reviews a bucket. This man is amazing.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!

[matthewsrotundo.livejournal.com]

That. Is brilliant.

Thanks for pointing me towards a much-needed laugh.

I just finished (and reviewed at B&N.com) A Whisper of Blood, and I noticed two typos:
page 543 near the top, there's a tense switch. It says "we'd be in this room" but should be "we'd been in this room."
page 569 has "Patroclus" as "Patrodus"

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I doubt the book will go into a second printing (they've printed a lot to begin with) but I'll alert my editor.
