*Cue middle-school fangirling*
EOIN COLFER WILL BE AT THE NASHVILLE LIBRARY IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY.
Also apparently the 8th and last (for real this time!) book comes out next month, so cue me reserving every single Artemis Fowl book from the library because my collection is at home and quick someone mail me a hardback to have him sign. (Family: you have been duly notified. Opal Deception! Or, to save on postage and if you can find it, the "Artemis Fowl Files" little black-and-green book.)
Not as much fangirling as Tamora Pierce, or Jasper Fforde (or Patricia Wrede! She's under-appreciated!) but the original Fowl trilogy was a favorite in middle school. And then, one day, a fourth book appeared! A miracle!
And then suddenly, a fifth! Also cool!
And then there was a sixth and I was like, waitaminutesomething'sgoingonhere. But at that point, it was nostalgia!
I actually haven't read the seventh book, though I own it. I got it for like $2 (new! hardback!) when the local Borders was closing, but this is the perfect opportunity to read the entire series together.
