So, me being the Nikki I am, will write a letter to Gennifer Albin herself. Here it goes.
DEAR GENNIFER ALBIN:
So you can see how the greeting is in CAPS right? YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? Because CAPS are awesome and so was Crewel! It was just...I have no words to describe how amazing it was. (Ok, lie since I wrote a review. But it doesn't give Crewel justice!) So, as one of Crewel's biggest fans...
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT GIANT CLIFFHANGER THAT MADE ME WANT TO STRANGLE MYSELF AND DIE IN A HOLE ALONE.
Please?
If you, however, do not agree to my terms, I will be forced to track you down, climb through your window, and steal the manuscript of book 2. I'm serious (I think).
Also, I'd love to say that as your Twitter stalker, I also enjoyed the Starbucks Date
"I agree"
*cough* WHO SAID THAT? That person is awesome.
And can I just say LOVE your writing?
And your storytelling?
And the way you explain everything?
And your name choice?
And your characters?
And the love interests?
And Crewel's plot?
And my pretend copy of book 2?
Yes, we're back to that.
PLEASE?
Crewel is a word? I never knew that. I thought that was just you twisting the word cruel. Wow. What better title is there? Something to do with weaving AND sounds like CRUEL which fits the book? I hope you didn't use all your title magic! Save some for book 2!
TRAILER. AMAZING! It just fit the book so perfectly! and when she's ripped? BEST. SCENE. EVER.
Just thought I'd throw that in. not like you'll read it! (At least, I hope not. There are like a thousand other people writing something like this, I bet.)
But yeah...I think I'm done.
Except, oh. BOOK 2?!?!?!
Have fun, writing.
-Nikki.

LINKS: Goodreads Synopsis
These links shall guide you on your quest to a Crewel World.
Weave Wisely.
Crewel Blurb
Incapable. Awkward. Artless.
That’s what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: she wants to fail.
Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she’s exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life. But if controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn’t interested.
Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and wove a moment at testing, and they’re coming for her—tonight.
Now she has one hour to eat her mom’s overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister’s academy gossip and laugh at her Dad’s stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything’s okay. And one hour to escape.
Because once you become a Spinster, there’s no turning back.
