Hi, I just read one of your entries and you mentioned that you had read Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore, and you're not the only one, which is why I'm confused. I thought the book didn't come out until May 1st? At least that's what it says on Amazon. How have you come to read it in February?

I work at Powell’s Books, so I was lucky enough to read an ARC (advanced reader’s copy) of it. Book reviewers, bookstores, and some bloggers will get ARCs from publishers to help generate hype before the book comes out. For everyone else, Bitterblue will be released May 1st.
