I know you all don't like to read on the computer, but if anyone changes their mind, the publisher has the first 6 chapters of BYT available here.

But we're so close!

Only a month away.

water lilies · 09-21-2010, 05:02 PM

I know. We're getting there.

The Darkling · 09-22-2010, 02:57 AM

first 6

Does this mean you're thinking of reading the preview?

Tomorrow's skies · 09-23-2010, 05:48 PM

Six chapters? Wow. That's quite unheard of, I think. Except maybe Brandon Sanderson when he released an entire (early draft) of a book. The publisher must really be confident in it, that's a good indicator I'd say.

Actually, Harper Collins does that for a lot of its books, giving advance previews of several (usually 4-7) chapters for unpublished books (as well as their other already published novels.) I think it's great, because it gives me a better idea of some books I'm not sure if I'd like to begin with. Plus, they sometime offer full free books on their website...it's a great site.

it is aweosme when they do that but i dont wanna have to reread it when i get the book cuz ill forget them

FreedomsBullets · 09-25-2010, 01:02 PM

I don't know when I'll be able to read the book, the next two months are going to be so busy for me.

Tomorrow's skies · 09-25-2010, 03:03 PM

That does sound like a good site

I'll read it whenever my copy comes in, so probably a couple weeks after its release date. I'll have school all five days of the week, but most will be half days so hopefully I'll manage

water lilies · 09-26-2010, 05:42 AM

I'll also be waiting for a library copy first, since I won't be able to read it right away, I don't think.

Then if it's really good, I'll buy it.

Tomorrow's skies · 09-28-2010, 05:29 PM

That's the way I roll

I'm looking forward to reading about the time period

The Darkling · 09-29-2010, 12:42 AM

Here's a more detailed book description of BYT:

Quote:

The year is 1929. New York is ruled by the Bright Young Things: flappers and socialites seeking thrills and chasing dreams in the anything-goes era of the Roaring Twenties.

Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey escaped their small Midwestern town for New York's glittering metropolis. All Letty wants is to see her name in lights, but she quickly discovers Manhattan is filled with pretty girls who will do anything to be a star. . . .

Cordelia is searching for the father she's never known, a man as infamous for his wild parties as he is for his shadowy schemes. Overnight, she enters a world more thrilling and glamorous than she ever could have imagined—and more dangerous. It's a life anyone would kill for . . . and someone will.

The only person Cordelia can trust is Astrid Donal, a flapper who seems to have it all: money, looks, and the love of Cordelia's brother, Charlie. But Astrid's perfect veneer hides a score of family secrets.

Across the vast lawns of Long Island, in the illicit speakeasies of Manhattan, and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls' fortunes will rise and fall—together and apart. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Luxe comes an epic new series set in the dizzying last summer of the Jazz Age.

It sounds like there's going to a bit of a mystery involved. Can't wait!

Ooh, thanks for posting that!

I like the sounds of Cordelia
