The Forbidden Library does look good doesn't it? I also love the cover for The Queen of the Tearling, which has what looks like a bear trap sat on a cushion in place of a crown.

I think if I had to choose I would say I prefer the smaller cons, but it was fantastic getting to go to the world one, and they all have such different vibes and are good in different ways. :-)Victoria Hooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781566476728948415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713005968215558746.post-76366131527845179482013-11-10T20:01:49.064+00:002013-11-10T20:01:49.064+00:00Hehe, thanks! :-) I'm still a bit amazed by it...Hehe, thanks! :-) I'm still a bit amazed by it.Victoria Hooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781566476728948415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713005968215558746.post-31612789171439366702013-11-10T20:01:25.630+00:002013-11-10T20:01:25.630+00:00Haha, one of my friends got told off for rummaging...Haha, one of my friends got told off for rummaging too!
