[LM_NET] Paolina's Third Title

["Clark, Curtis" <clarkc@HARRISONVILLE.K12.MO.US>]

FYI

Knopf Books for Young Readers has revealed the name of the third title in
Christopher Paolini's Inheritance series. The book, called Brisingr, will
have a first printing of 2.5 million, which is the largest initial print
run to date for the Random House Children's Books division. The title
itself is an Old Norse word for "fire," and is the first word in
that language that Eragon hears. As with the previous books in the series,
the book's cover was illustrated by John Jude Palencar.

Brisingr had been scheduled for release on September 23, 2008, but will
now go on sale at 12:01 a.m. on September 20. "After the initial
announcement of Book Three's release, we received an outpouring of
requests from booksellers hoping to
host midnight launch parties," said Nancy Hinkel, publishing director
at Knopf Books for Young Readers. "We have responded to their
enthusiasm by advancing
the date, and we know fans will welcome the opportunity to celebrate the
publication together."

Random House's Listening Library division will publish the title
simultaneously as an audiobook. Paolini's first two books, Eragon and
Eldest, have sold 12.5 million
copies worldwide. —John Sellers

Procrastination,
I've been told,
Is the source of all my sorrow,
I don't know what it means,
I'll look it up tomorrow.  (maybe)
