I finally allowed myself to order Skullduggery: Resurrection from the UK. I live the way their email tells me my shipment has been dispatched. So much fancier than shipped.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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."

BTW, for Seanan McGuire fans, but Sparrow Hill Road is basically a stealth InCryptid novel. It's more about supernatural than fantasy creatures but if the heroine isn't the Aunt Rose we've heard about but not met yet, I'll eat my hat.
No Aeslin mice so far, sadly.

Actually, looking at the first Alex Price book briefly, where they mention Aunt Rose's last name, this is definitely her.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Frank,
Yup, that's her. Did you know there are a bunch of Incryptid-verse stories on Seanan's website available for download? There's a set of stories about Fran and Jonathan Healy, a few with Alice and Thomas and a set with the current generation.

I know she has a bunch of short works out there, but haven't had the chance to pursue them. I did really like the sea witch story at the end of one of the Toby books and absolutely loved the Arden story at the end of the most recent Toby book (soon to change tomorrow - yay!). The fallout from that will be interesting. I can't wait to see how Toby reacts to some of it namely Cassie becoming a part of the court.
