Hey, Nessa,
Thanks for getting this posted. :)

I actually spotted two problems. First, on the front page of the forum, the title of my review has a little punctuation glitch. "Adults" shouldn't have an apostrophe before the "s"--it should just be the plural form. whoops. Anyhow, can you fix that for me? (I know, I know, I'm obsessive.  :P)

Also, the link at the bottom for buying the book on Amazon uses the title of my review instead of the title of the book. ("Buy Adults Need Not Exist at Amazon.") That must b because I put the book and author in the subtitle. Is it possible to correct that? Thanks so much!

How's the review of Cry Wolf coming?

http://www.timewastersguide.com/review/1673/Cry-Wolf <--my review for Cry Wolf

Punctuation fixed.

As for the link, it's an automated thing, which is why I usually title the article the same as the book. I am unable to fix it without getting into code that I'm sure Spriggan would slap my fingers for even THINKING about dabbling with.

heh. Yeah. Thanks for fixing the punctuation. I hope Sprig can get the main page up and running soon.

By the way, I'll totally loan you this book when I'm in town if you'd like to read it. Then I can get that Rothfuss book. ;) Of course, thanks to my car repairs, I won't be going home any time soon. :P
