New Book From Katie Leigh & Will Ryan!

Post

Yes! I haven't been longing for this but if I had thought of it I would have longed and now that I've found it exists the longing is over!

According to the AIO Update, Katie and Ryan have announced an upcoming biographical book, focusing on their friendship, as well as their voiceover career and AIO especially. It's called Adventures in Oddity and it's available for pre-order here on Katie's site: http://katieleigh.com/wordpress/adventu ... -for-sale/

According to Audio Theatre Central, it will have a conversational feel, consisting mainly of Q and As between Katie and Will. It will feature drawings of AIO characters by none other than Will Ryan. A sampling of which you can see on the cover above.

Sounds exciting. So, if you're hyped up, then talk it up!

So cool!!! But I can't get it because I don't have any money. And if I do get any I'm saving it up for a specific purpose. I can probably read Miss Friendship's copy tho...

MF: How much do you know about Helios?

Woody: Let's see. I know you survived her
drama, I know she's a danger to
society, I know she's a lie, I know
Belle is unfazed by her wrath, I
know she has ox horns, and I know
I should beware of her.

(And she is also my enemy. :evil: )

That is incredible. If Will and Katie can put the same smoothness with which they act together in this book, it will be a pure and exquisite delight. How many pages is it supposed to be?

I WANT ONE ASAP. This sounds like it won't be the "behind the scenes" that Focus does, where you get the same bloopers and sound bytes over and over and over.

According to the website it's only 96 pages long, which seems incredibly short.

I found this video on Katie Leigh's youtube channel. I thought it was pathetic that it only had 2 views as it stars our very own Eugene (Will Ryan) singing. And I'm guessing one of those girls might be the one who plays Jules? Can't confirm that though.

Good for you, Snubs!
About length, yeah, that's more like a poster than a book. Still, it does make sense though, to make it a kid-friendly length.

Here's a linky for others who hoping to get it!

I've read the book. Anyone else?
They are Connie and Eugene in real life, in case there was any doubt
