Agreed. I need to read it again, but first I had to go find and reread The Topaz Marquise. This is only my third favorite Sox-verse, but it ranks way up there in general.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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."

This is wonderful to hear. Thank you, Amych and t- (if I can ask what are the other two?)

#1 is the one with, oh gosh I beta-read that story so long ago I will probably get all the details but it had to do with debt and a caper and I want to say a circus? I may have muddled it up, but I love that world so much.
#2 is Updraft/Cloudbound. To be fair, I may only love it more than Gemworld because I know more about it (ie know enough to have SO MANY QUESTIONS), but that's the current standing.

Because this belongs in literary: Way to go Gud!
t- I think you betaed at least one I haven't released yet (circus-adjacent), plus the wasps. And yah. All the questions... I've gotten really good at not answering those. See: R/fantasy yesterday.

I grabbed my copy of Cog, Gud!
Sox, is the novella part of the Bone Universe or is it a separate thing? Because I could possibly find more time to read the novella first.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Got my e-copy of Cog, Gud, and added it to my "currently reading" section on Goodreads (which won't be actually accurate until my Kindle is back in range of my Wi-Fi, but still, boosting the signal!)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ordered a bound copy of Cog, Gud. And one of the novella, Fran, to keep Updraft company until Cloudbound is released.
I don't own a Kindle (I probably will, eventually), and truthfully, I'd rather have a book on my shelf, so that's what I buy. And will probably continue to, even if the day comes when most of my reading is done on a device.

I grabbed it on Kindle, Gud! Looking forward to it.

SJ the novella is gemworld. There will be a set of linked short stories - another is up at BCS.
Thank you so much Beverly. I love buffista bookshelf.
I just turned in page proofs on CLOUDBOUND. I go boom now.
