/o\ :D Thank you! I'm so long-winded, maximizing readability was a MAJOR GOAL this year - I'm thrilled to think I succeeded.

As for Mara, I hope you do get the chance to reread it, and that you enjoy it a lot! Truth be told, I was telling myself to not expect too much (it was older, it was YA, etc.), and then I read it in like two sittings and loved it. :D So I'm glad I decided to give it a try!
