Big Release Day: Her Fearful Symmetry
2009 at 11am Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky
Published today, September 29, 2009 by Scribner (a division of Simon & Schuster)
I haven’t been this excited to see a book come out of the boxes in a very long time. We unpacked them at work yesterday afternoon, and the cover is gorgeous and kind of shimmery. It was all I could do not to let out a giant SQUEEEEEE of delight.
I’ll spare you the full review because there are plenty of (really good) ones floating around already. Plus, I’ve already given you the spoiler-free breakdown, and the thread where we all gushed about how great this book is, and some giveaway information, and a link to the fantastic videos on the HFS Facebook page.
I’ve been chattering about this book for a couple months now, and I don’t intend to stop any time soon because it is just that good. Favorite book of the year good. And I am so excited that it’s finally out in the world for everyone to read and love and talk about.
BUT WAIT…..THERE’S MORE!
The good folks at Regal Literary are running giveaways for ARCs and new hardback copies of Her Fearful Symmetry for people who become fans of the HFS Facebook page before October 1st.
What are you waiting for? Go. Become a fan. Win a free book. Tell them I said hi.
And don’t forget to come back and tell me what you thought. Whether you love it or not (and I certainly hope you love it), this is a book that just begs to be talked about.
Sooo exciting! I can’t wait ’til more people are talking bout this. I noticed today that my library is getting the audio version as well as the print, so I’ve decided to get in line to re-experience the awesomeness in audio.
I’m already a fan of the book on FB so I hope I win! I will look for the giveaway on 10/1. Crossing my fingers, toes and anything else that is still flexible enough to cross.
I just bought it on Kindle! I have to finish what I am reading right at this moment, then I am there! I can’t wait…
You know, I think I would love to be the person responsible for unpacking and displaying new books. That’s my idea of fun. Now if I can only write my review…
This has been the hardest review for me to write. It’s never taken me 2 weeks to write a review before. ACK! 
I caved and ordered it yesterday.
I was so hoping I would win this book, but just can’t wait so I am dragging hubby to the bookstore tonight.
Can’t wait for the library to get this one!!
I bought it on Saturday, so I guess we got it a little early
I ordered this book about a week ago. I just couldn’t stand the anticipation any longer. Now I just need for it to actually arrive in the mail!!
I reviewed it yesterday, yay!

I got it downloaded to my Kindle but have other things I have to do before I treat myself to it. I’m avoiding all reviews until I read it myself!
[...] Literary love bloggers, and I think they just might have appreciated my extensive gushing about Her Fearful Symmetry. So they’ve offered me an exclusive of this video of Audrey reading a chapter entitled [...]
