Wow. That sounds like fun.
I read the 2nd Jemisin book thinking it was the first one and really enjoyed it. So now I'm reading the first one.
FYI - the second Rothfuss book is on shelves tomorrowish. At least, Amazon is shipping my copy now.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I saw the new Toby Daye at the bookstore and came home to order the e-book, but I can't have it until tomorrow. That is not how instant gratification is supposed to work!

Now I'm on to 'Mark Reads Harry Potter' and enjoying the hell out of that
I've read that and the transition into fanboy is kinda adorable.

Meanwhile... there is news. Big news. The end is in sight, at long long last, and we're close enough so that my editors and publishers at Bantam Spectra have set an actual publication date.
A DANCE WITH DRAGONS will be in your favorite bookstore on
TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2011
Yes, I know. You've all seen publication dates before: dates in 2007, 2008, 2009. None of those were ever hard dates, however. Most of them... well, call it wishful thinking, boundless optimism, cockeyed dreams, honest mistakes, whatever you like.
This date is different. This date is real.
Barring tsunamis, general strikes, world wars, or asteroid strikes, you will have the novel in your hands on July 12. I hope you like it.
(For what it's worth, the book's a monster. Think A STORM OF SWORDS.)
The dragons are coming. Prepare to dance.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'll believe it when I see it. (And then I'll wait for it to come out in paperback because I do not have the biceps to read a book that long in hardcover.)

Well, it should be available for Kindle and ibook.

not your mom's socks.
so I'm reading Game of Thrones finally. Somehow, I feel like admitting to not having read it yet is like admitting to not having read Chaucer during an English Department coffee hour. And yet, a little bit not.
