Well, it hasn't been posted here, yet.
Naomi Novik's Temeraire series has been optioned by Peter Jackson.
Heh.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
That makes, what, six Books, and seven short stories in the Chrestomanci universe(s)?
Six books, yes. I only know the four short stories that were collected in Mixed Magics. Are there more?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"I love their text! It just has so much sub."
Are there more?
Oh, yes! One I know what only published in Brittain (only one mag) where Millie is confused for another person in one of her other books continuities.
And then there's another short story in a different anthology and I think she's got another one in Unexpected Magic but I'm not sure...

Art Crawl!!!
Look what Amazon's pairing the new Chrestomanci book with -- the third Sorcery and Cecelia book.
And they're pairing that book up with the new Lois McMaster Bujold!

Because books.
A third Sorcery and Cecelia?! Yay!

Don't you hate it how you can go instantaneously from knowing nothing about something to wanting it desperately?
WANT WANT WANT!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Acorn Books has about two weeks left and every time I go in there I see stuff that Buffistas would want.
Lots of old Aviation books for DXM.
Classic fantasy for Micole and others. I had to put back a first edition of L. Sprague DeCamp and Fletcher Pratt's The Castle of Iron.
But I did pick up a first edition, signed copy of Fritz Leiber's The Knight and Knave of Swords.
So much stuff Betsy would like it's impossible to catalog. Lots of Victorian era editions. Whole shelves of rare Sherlock Holmes stuff. Shelves of rare Oziana - including the Baum Bugle.
Also picked up an xmas present for JZ's mom. A first edition of S.J. Perelman's Listen to the Mockingbird. Cover and interior illustrations by Hirschfeld. Lots of illustrations. Like every third page. So cool.
They're also auctioning off their furnishings and they've got gorgeous old glass fronted, wooden book cabinets of many sizes. Lecterns. Reading chairs with wide arms for your teacup.
