They certainly are, and they certainly will be.
These books won't be seeing ebay, not while I still draw breath.

Haha, thanks
When I got the parcel I opened it up carefully, then checked my hands, "They look clean enough, they're fine, I'm sure they'll be okay" ... washed them anyway
Definitely no eating or drinking anywhere near them, ever.
I just need to perfect my carbonite preservation system and I'll be good.

I also like that John signed the books in his home. Makes it even more personal.
It is such a powerful and beautiful quote!
I wondered if Råmansö was where he lives, that is awesome!

It is also not far away from where Oskar's father lives, and the cottage in LTODD. Full circle!

For the heart life is simple. It beats as long as it can.

Just an update: the Kindle turned up today.
It is charging as I type this.

That..is so awesome

Just seeing that makes me glad to be apart of this forum and community
Again, congrats Jameron...and I hope you enjoy Little Star (for my money, it's still the best thing that I think JAL has written so far)
