Stravaganza is the best series! City of Stars, Masks, and soon to come, Flowers. I cannot WAIT!!!!!!

Personally, I think Arianna and Lucien should hook up.

I read Stravaganza: City of Masks, City of Stars. But I haven't read City of Flowers. I also agree with u that Lucieno and Arianna should "hook up" as u say it.

Well, Flowers won't b out in America until, like, june, but if u go 2 http://www.stravaganza.co.uk/ , then u can read an excerpt.

Actually City of Flowers is already out. I saw it in a bookstore a few days ago. It's in hardcover now. Got to wait till paperback.

really? I thought it was only out in England....

I think I might get it. it's about this kid named Sky Meadows (New Stravagante) , & Lucien, Arianna, Rodolfo, Deathridge, Georgia, and Falco r in it, 2, I think.

Yeah, I know.

cool.

can i join????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

sure! we need more people! more the merrier.

a little over-excited on the question marks, eh, gg?

The page is out of distortion!

That would b gg's fault.

Besides the point...... I need 2 buy Flowers! If I don't, I'll go crazy!

It's in hardcover! It'll be expensive!!

I no, I'm waiting 4 paperback. that's gonna b 4ever!

Well, duh!!! It will take forever!! When I can't wait to read a book that is in hardcover and I can't afford it I do something! But I'm not gonna tell what I do! Probably have to PM me if u want to find out!

F*F, u can PM me, 2, when u find out.

I wouldn't mind finding out either

Hey change of subject which book did you guys like best???
just wondering

HI
Just wanted to say that I am a big fan of the stravaganza books, I've read 'City Of Flowers' and it is AMAZING
Everything is kinda concluded in this book (but i'm not gunna tell you how :P)
Have any of you read Mary Hoffman's note on the site? It says that she's prob gunna do another stravaganza series but with different characters, kinda shame - i was getting kinda attched to these ones, lol.
Er..yeh, that all i had to say,

Can you say YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!! NEW SERIES OF STRAVAGANZA WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO

yeah, if u email Mary Hoffman, the author, then she'll advice u 2 buy the
books, or else if she doesn't make a good income from this book, then
the book company that's helping her will not a llow the second series.

THEY CAN'T GET RIDE OF LUCIEN AND ARIANNA! THEY HAVEN'T KISSED YET!!!

they might in city of flowers!!!

yah! it's possible.

that would be stinky

huh? how would it b stinky?

im saying NOTHING.....:P

Please, don't! I STILL have been unable 2 get the book! don't ruin it 4 me!

ps, I could make u a sig & avatar, PP, just let me no.

Uh, was that sig/avatar offer for me? if so, yes please that would be amazing, n dont worry i wont say anything , whenever someones read a book before me i always beg them for the ending n then when they tell me, wish i didnt know it, guess im just an idiot, lol

OK, go to this page:
http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=349206

Have u gone 2 stravaganza.uk? if u do, u can find out ur talian name!

been there done that dont remember in the least

yeh i did that name thing but it came out as something really random, i mean in the books the talian names are similar to the english ones, but mine was ... well it just wasnt.
besides my name is helena which is used as an italian name, so what WOULD happen to my name...? well confused!

no clue...mayb it's just weird? I dunno. I made up my own name, 'cuz it's cooler. check it out:

Morianna

and if it was? glare

then....I would b right!

good guess f*f anyway i did Lucien in it and it didn't come out Lucieno (or however you spell it)

yeh, is kinda crap tbf, um i dont know what my talisman would be cuz i dont have like a particular interest but i think id like it to be a ring cuz i have a kinda ring fettish lol, id keep my own name cuz i like it lol

i would like my talisman to be a book (preferably a graphic novel.) My name would be melerosia

they had graphic novels in the 16th century?? :P

huh?

they do now

no wait
they did now(??)
IM CONFUSED

hehe, fair enough

thank you

OK, I'm beyond confused. we're supposed 2 b talking about Stravaganza, right?

yeah we were talking about what our talisman's should be

what's urs? I missed it...

me, 2. I've been gone 4 a while...u no, the whole summer 2 the fullest thang...

mine was a graphic novel

and pp's was a ring because of her ring fettish

OMG, I bought and read City of Flowers!!!!!

yeh, but to be fair, it was kinda obvious. Especially considering that this was the last book with these characters - Mary Hoffman wouldnt have left it uncertain

she should make a book about the wedding!

Hey-
Since u guys already ruined the book, j/k, who does Georgia end up with?

oh, and yeh its only a trilogy - mary hoffman has said that she might like do another stravaganza book/series but if she does it'll be with different characters (this is all on the website btw) so, um..yeh im guessing no more lucien/arianna etc. adventures

yeh i know, did no one else want an extended ending though? or another book? i mean about tehir wedding and a bit of their lives together...maybe its just me

lol, there shoul b a book just 4 the wedding!

*nods vigorously*

totally someone understand our pain and give us another book!!!!!

we should email mary hoffman! here's the website >
www.stravaganza.uk
or at least that's what I think it is. we could all email her about it!

nope, it's www.stravaganza.co.uk/
whoopsie.

you can write it for us F*F

I emailed her. she's going to make a seperate trilogy for other cities, w/ only brief showings of our old fav characters.

awwwwww


sadness and swirls

so true, so true.

im gonna go cry in a dark corner

Don't!!!! u'll make me really sad if you start crying....

I think Mary Hoffman might be making movements towards making Stravaganza into a mvoie, which would be TOTALLY ROCKIN" AWESOMENESS!!!!!

hey, where's pinstripe?????

i dont know
havent talked to her in ages!!

awww, u guys missing me?! :P
sorry! have just been really busy lately!
but omg, movies of these books would be so lush!!!
i dunno about new stravaganza series, i think id still be missing the old characters and desperately searching for any mention fo them!

xxx

i really need to change my sig dont i?! everyone else has i look dated! :P

i love phantom!!!

hehe me too!
i made a lush sig n then the file size was too big! *wails*

anyway, back to the point!
does anyone know when mary hoffman's releasing anything new?

i dont think so

Hey everyone
Woooooooooo i lvoe these books greatest eva
Dunno if she's releasing anything but if she does i'm so buying it

theres a rumor of a new series but without our much loved and remembered characters

Yeah thats wot she sed on her website i don't think i'd like it without our bleoved characters

tru

very sad

Thats wot i don't like about trilogys they always end when there sould be soo much more to the story or well some of them anyway.
I still want Lucien/Luciano and Georgia to get together they make the best couple.

which one was georgia in

icant remember

She was the person introduced in the second and alos in the third.

right

wait so who was the last one

sky he was the one witht the bottle of smelly stuff.

right okay

no way!
georgia and falco are so right for each other!
but mary hoffman did say that the old characters would make occasional appearances in the new trilogies.
so that would be good at least we could keep track of them

good point

haven't seen ya in a while

how ya been

Hi everyone, could I join in
I read all three books a few months ago, I really loved them!
And I really hope Hoffman does right another series!

On her site, she said there are 12 cities, so she said, she could right a book for each city, and turn it into 3 more series. Hoffman also said that Georgia and company, wont be main characters, but they will still be mentioned.

lol thats good because she left lots of questions at the end of Flowers, that I really hope get answered!

right on clapping toot

oh yeah!!!
thank god someone has the energy to look this stuff up

anyword on when the new books will arrive

Don't think for a while

Yeah probebly not for a year or two

cry i want them nowwwwwwwww
