I have an unfortunate propensity to go the other direction. I am totally *psyched* about a book when I put it on hold at the library, and by the time it comes in I am all "Oh. I should read that. Or something. And I will. Eventually."
Hope it is as good as you want it to be! It's on my never-ending list also.
That happens to me too. My reading mood is ever-changing and I'll either get all hyped up and lose steam when I finally get my hands on it, or, like The Storyspinner, I'll have been kind of 'meh' about it but suddenly get excited.
