I love emailing authors <3 It's actually surprising how many respond. I also think I read somewhere that if you send Lois Lowry your copy of one of her books and return postage/envelope, she'll sign it for you and send it back. Then again, that's just what I heard. Her website probably has more information *too lazy to check right now*

Bookluver, I think she's referring to Lord of the Rings, of which Hobbit is the first book (feel free to correct me on this, I could be wrong) of.

I love looking at the prices on old books. 45 cents! For a book! I know that's basically equivalent to what it would be now, but it's still so pretty to see on the back.
Or maybe I'm just strange?

I love buying old books from my local antique stores (like, $13.50 for books from the 1800s... I don't know what they're thinking), they smell sooo nice! I haven't gone in forever, though.

There's like, five where I live (lots of old people, not to mention we're considered a REALLY important location in CA history, so there's a lot of history junkies hanging around)
