I'm not really a Geshrat, though.

My name is Logan, and when I heard that Abarat 3 finally had a definitive release date, I decided it was time to join this forum, which I've known about for awhile now. A few years ago, I was part of a smaller Abarat forum called All Things In Their Time, and everyone there was five or more years older than me so as you can imagine it was quite awkward. I have no idea whether the situation is the same here or not, but I know that I'm older and more mature, so hopefully I'll be able to handle things better.

My favorite book is Stephen King's IT, though the Abarat series is definitely close to it in my mind. I also like The Bartimaeus Trilogy (which I often mention in the same sentence as Abarat....not really sure why), the Dark Tower series, Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and a whole bunch of other good books.

I'm a pretty cool guy who's trying to make a good first impression by being suaver than he actually is. Even just saying clever self-referential stuff like that is me being suave. Saying that was, too.

So I hope to be on board this good ship Forum during what will hopefully be a a new Golden Age for the Books of Abarat. I'm probably the first of what will be somewhat of a surge of members surrounding the release of Abarat 3, and I'm glad to be a part of this fandom, and I hope to be more involved in it. Thanks for reading!

P.S. I debated writing good glyph Forum instead of good ship Forum, but figured that calling it the "good ship Forum" was enough of a mediocre joke already.

Welcome! Don't worry, you'll probably fit right in, this forum is pretty casual, age is not an issue here at all. You are definetly right about abarat not being appreciated enough and I really hope the 3rd time is the charm for this series. Enjoy the forum.

Yeah more people!!! ^^ And don't worry, we are all suave here too. XD

Welcome We're happy to have you here. Please feel free to post on anything, even if it's a really old thread.

Here's hoping the Abarat 3 release date doesn't change, it's been a really really long wait! *fingers crossed*

Hey all, I wanted to pop in to confirm my continued existence...It's become clear to me that I am not going to read Abarat III anytime soon, and I'm very sad about this, but the moment I do finish the book I will be back on here as a regular member, and I will make sure that what happened with this book will not happen with book four. Hopefully there will still be some morsels of conversation left for me when I return in....Who knows when, though I'm sure book four won't be out yet. I hope book three was great and that you all had fun talking about it, and still look forward to reading it even though that anticipation has been dulled by seven years of waiting, which I suppose is part of the reason I haven't actually read it yet, among other reasons, which are largely my own fault.

See you eventually,
LoganTheGeshrat

Ahhh, I'm sad to see you go. I hope you get a chance to read it soon.

I echo this sentiment.
