Call For Typos

Hmmm...

Just flicking through the books to remind myself of some details/dates, and I stumbled across a typo. I know there are a few in the books- it's kind of inevitable when the deadlines are this close together- but by the time the new paperback editions are published in April, I want all these typos to be fixed. Which is where YOU come in, my Minions.

I know that most of you have read these books a few times because you're, you know, insane and everything.  Have you noticed the typos? Can you remember where they were? There are a few glaring ones, mistakes that I just should have caught, but for whatever reason I didn't. Care to help?

  1. in Mortal Coil there is no capital A on one of the pages- think its somewhere near when all the Remnants storm the Hibernain

  5. That's how many times I've read Mortal Coil... every day since it came out except for 2 when I read the new HIVE and the new Darren Shan which only took me an hour... but I read it every day so that's maybe why I'm insane... of course We're insane! We're insane in a good way of course...
