Eeeep! NIL galleys are here!

Look what came in the mail yesterday!

Aren't they GORGEOUS?! *stares*

To hold my book IN MY HAND was so crazy cool, I think I smiled non-stop for HOURS. And of course I showed my husband . . . my boys . . . the Twitterverse . . . the mailman . . . and basically anyone who came near the house.:) 

Things I love about my cover?

 The font.

 The colors.

 The tally marks (oh my land--I LOVE the tally marks!) and how they swirl around like a clock--

or a wormhole.

 The island graphics.

 The silhouettes.

EVERYTHING.:)

Now check this out: THE SPINE.

How cool is that?! I love how the title runs vertical, so when you stand it up like this:

the title is oh-so-easy to read! LOVE. THAT. :)

And I love the block font.

And remember how much I love the tally marks on the front cover? 

Check this out: it's the title page inside....

Sweet, right? The tally mark graphics! I can't get enough of them.:)

Want one more peek at the inside?

Okay, you twisted my arm! (Not really--I'm dying to show you! :D) Here's a sneak peek at page one:

I LOVE the font. I mean, really love it. The chapter title fonts are PERFECT, and I love the crisp sense of the regular typeface. 

I'm so happy I want to hug EVERY SINGLE PERSON at Macmillan/Henry Holt. 

So, while this edition is an uncorrected proof -- it says so right on the back, and on the front it says "Advance Reader's Edition-Not For Sale"--

NIL is finally a book.

And I can't wait for you to read it!
