The moment has arriven! Remember this picture, which so vexatiously showed only the edges of books 3 and 4?
Agonizing to see only that little bit! Especially when Nicholas Kole's covers are so beautiful and the wait is so long. And long it was, but over now!
Behold!
You can click on those pictures and zoom around to see the great detail Nicholas included. Aren't they luminous? And look at the determination on Leeli's face! Ah, I can't wait to hold them.
These two books come out in hardcover on September 15—and you can preorder them right now. :-) Just head to the Rabbit Room or wherever books are sold.
Do you know what else, dear readers?
When they come out in September, Andrew will read them to us. :-)
Hey all, just a quick reminder about T-shirts! Preorders close TONIGHT at MIDNIGHT Central time. The Rabbit Room staff will be coordinating with the printer and figuring out shipping times once the orders close. If you want one, don't wait—I don't know when we'll see them again!
Dear Featherheads, here is another video of fan art photos! So many readers have tuned in to Andrew's nightly readalouds and sent him their excellent art, maps, sculptures, creatures, and more. Look at these marvelous creations:

I hope you've been able to join in on these Iggyfing adventures! Andrew will be reading the very last chapters of book two tonight! Don't miss it! And if you'd like to send him any art, you can find his email address on the Contact page.
Shirts: Wingfeather T-shirts are now available! You can preorder for a limited time, and then they'll go to print and be gone again, so act quickly. You can find them at the Rabbit Room Store. :-)
Some six years ago, Wingfeather tee shirts were an exclusive reward for Kickstarter backers. NOW, they are BACK—and anyone can buy them! You'll need to preorder, though—they will be a limited run, custom-printed just for you. :-)
How fun would it be to visit Andrew's little writing cottage and let him show you around, and ask "what is this?" and "where did you get this?" as you point to different books and art and curios, and geek out with him about his first editions? Well, here is the next best thing. :-)

North! Or Be Eaten continues on YouTube and Facebook tonight!
Dear Featherheads, I hope you've been listening along as Andrew reads to us these last few weeks! It is so fun to hear his voices (and see him giggle to himself at the things he wrote so many years ago) and to see all of the comments—some from long-time readers, some from first-time listeners. I love getting to experience these books all together. :-)
I also love seeing all the new fan art listeners have been posting for Andrew! And he's loving it, too. He was trying to show off art at the beginning of each night, but there is so much of it that last week he had to stop and make a ton of it into this video. Look at all that beauty—drawings and faces. :-)
Hope to see you all there tonight! 7:30 Central on Andrew's Facebook and YouTube pages. (The YouTube stream is more reliable, so if you've been on FB and had glitchy troubles, head to YouTube.)
Can you spot some art of your own in this video? Leave us a comment to tell us how to spot it, too! (With permission, if your face is in the photo!) And if you make any more art, maybe he'll make another video. ;-)
Hello, dear Featherheads! After last week's Holy Week hiatus, Andrew will begin reading North! Or Be Eaten tonight on the interwebs. You can find him on YouTube, and in various places on Facebook (his page, Wingfeather's, and the Rabbit Room's). Book one is still up (on FB, anyway), so you can catch up if you need. Those of you who've read this series already know that this is where the story really takes off! So get your jammies and coloring supplies ready, and tell all your friends. :-)
Here's a certified-launch-team-member review of book 2 to get you excited:
Peterson once again builds an incredible story set within an incredible world, filled with imaginary creatures like the rockroach, toothy cows and snickbuzzards. “North! Or Be Eaten” is filled with adventure as well as moments of devastation and moments of hope. Readers will fall in love with the Igiby family, as well as new characters like the brave and feisty Strander girl named Maraly, Podo’s old flame Nurgabog, and the intriguing, swashbuckling Florid Sword.
For the rest of Semmie's review, visit her blog! And we'll see you tonight. :-)
Walking on Water: Join us in the forum to discuss the last chapter! And speaking of the forum, please note the updated House Rules on the forum landing page when you next visit. We're doing our best to keep the Branch Library of Ban Rona a safe place for everyone. :-)
Extras: If you're not quite done yet with Easter, here is a link and here is another. The first one is a mini-concert, recorded live just a few days ago. The second is a podcast with Andrew about longing, resurrection, and a trip to Israel. Enjoy!
Good Friday, all! I have two things for you today:
A pack of coloring pages from the Rabbit Room. Several artists contributed to this set, including Joe Sutphin, who made a brand-new Wingfeather coloring/activity page! Check out the Rabbit Room's Linktree for the download. (We have other coloring pages in our Digital Downloads tab as well.)
Andrew's going to be part of a Tenebrae concert tonight. That's a Good Friday service. You can find it here.
ps. Andrew will start reading North! Or Be Eaten on Monday. Come back on Monday for the livestream links!
