I just requested Graceling from the library so I hope to get it next week. I've been hearing great things about this book and I'm really looking forward to reading it- and it fits in nicely in my YA challenge too.

I just checked and my library has two copies - now I just need to get there to grab one before they're both gone (which always seems to happen when I go to get the book club books )

This looks like a really interesting book so I'm going to have to see if I can find it at my local library anytime soon.

I hope it's still okay to post here. I just finished Graceling yesterday. I liked it, but didn't love it as I expected to. I liked that the book had a female lead, but I found her a bit too prickly at times. I loved Po though and his whole kingdom was fascinating. I'm planning on reading Fire and Bitterblue when it comes out.
