Hey all, I'm also such a huge fan of these books. I actually joined this community a few years ago when I first read the books, but I never really posted anything. I just finished aCoK last night, after waiting to read it for two weeks. I bought it as soon as I heard it was out, but then I realized I had finals, so I couldn't read it. And then, I had to reread all the others in the series. So I bought the first three. (in paperback, so they sadly won't match my hardcover CoK) And so I've FINALLY read it. I was astounded. I happened to be reading it outside, near friends. They didn't understand why my book kept on making me giggle! I also earned a sunburn due to the excellent writing.
Anyway, this is me saying hello. And also that you should check out the video for aCoK on the amazon page, if you haven't gotten the chance to already. I thought it was pretty entertaining, what with the epic music and all. here's the link: www.amazon.com/Conspiracy-Kings-Megan-Whalen-Turner/dp/0061870935/ref=pd_sim_b_3
But, I should probably go study for my final tmr.

Good luck on your final! ^-^ b
