I just finished reading it, LOVED IT, have always loved Persephone's myth, (I once wrote a retelling on a much smaller scale) and intend to recommend it to my best friend. We go back and forth about YA novels all the time, and we're both Greek mythology buffs so I know she'd be wild about it. <br /><br />Anyway I have to say thank you for the audiobook because that's the only way my friend can really 'read' nowadays. We're seniors in high school, and she's blind in one eye, and rapidly losing her sight in the other. We wander through the large print and audiobook sections together, always scouting out for stuff that's a little less mainstream than the current bestsellers. She loves to read as much as I do, but it's a little bit more difficult for her nowadays. <br /><br />Next time I go into my local Barnes and Noble, the first thing I'll do is try to figure out how to order an audiobook of Everneath for her. Thanks for giving me a book to rave about and reminding me why I love being a YA reader, but thanks also for making your novel available to everyone - including the visually impaired. I can promise you that my best friend and I appreciate it.Emily Thompsonhttp://www.twitter.com/emilynthompsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-18119720929171484782012-08-16T10:33:17.655-07:002012-08-16T10:33:17.655-07:00Try 40 times that much.Try 40 times that much.RandoReadernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-73293831813157405632012-07-27T10:44:45.156-07:002012-07-27T10:44:45.156-07:00Thank you for spreading the word!!Thank you for spreading the word!!Brodi Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895732483547245372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-56227830517339017412012-07-27T10:44:30.819-07:002012-07-27T10:44:30.819-07:00I'm very pleased they made the audiobook, alth...I'm very pleased they made the audiobook, although I have yet to listen to it.

I think it was when she started knitting I jumped out of my seat and got excited. I was knitting at 17 and mum is a huge knitter. Mum said she needs more knitting in the story but I think you had just enough. I should knit a teacosy and carry it around with me so that if the man of my dreams gets a bloody nose he will fall in love with me when I shove it in to his face.

Because I can certainly see how each sale, whether from a bookstore in Tougaloo or Waxahachie or virtual, is like the ringing of that bell for the author. They may not grow wings literally, but wish they could so they could fly off and personally thank each and every person that took a chance on their story.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-72127870336637138432012-07-20T22:52:40.162-07:002012-07-20T22:52:40.162-07:00I feel bad as I do the library route for most book...I feel bad as I do the library route for most books, but I do want to support authors I enjoy (hope to be an author someday, myself) so I have a list of books to buy as budget allows. <br /><br />Do you get online purchases and e-book sale results weekly, too?Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257089976057386172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-11970583292939880282012-07-20T21:54:46.760-07:002012-07-20T21:54:46.760-07:00I love this post and your line of thought, Brodi. ...I love this post and your line of thought, Brodi.
