Well, shoot. That's pretty cool you can get that much information, though.

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."

Steph, if they have a suggestion mechanism then let them know it's out there to be ordered and that it is part of a series to which they have been otherwise keeping up. Our collection development happens off of lists that vary in quality with information, and it's possible they just missed it or someone didn't recognize it for what it was. Believe me, they'll be happy to hear from someone excited about it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ginger, I know a lot of people who did, which is why I checked it out -- I generally trust my friends' taste, and if they liked it, there's a strong chance I will, too. And that's also why I was bummed to not like it.
that was my take on Boneshaker, too. Wanted to like it -- didn't.
Jilli, I buy most books via Nook these days, so I gotta wait. But I will totes dish in a few!

I am going mad with wanting to burble at someone about Timeless. MAD!
... but I have to gloat, just a little bit. I've been emailing Gail Carriger about some other stuff, so I did get to squee at her about one particular thing in the book. She said she was particularly proud of that part.

FYI - I just got an email from Amazon to say that the new Naomi Novik book is out.
I am in the midst of Timeless. I have reached the part where they are sailing to Egypt.
So not v. far in.

I'm thrilled about the JK announcement. I wonder when the book will come out? in 2013 maybe?
I have been ignoring this thread for some reason. I'm 555 messages behind. Good gravy.
