Since Typo suggested I do this, as it's release day for STARS, you can check out this page on my site: [link]
Down at the bottom, there are direct links to amazon, B&N, Borders, and IndieBound, which will hook you up with your nearest local indie bookstore. For YA authors, it's especially important to support the indie bookstores but I'm good with whatever works best for an individual.
Thank you again, guys! So much.
Everyone participating in the secret gift exchange thingymabob, check that you put your mailing address in your profile on elfster. Otherwise I will be forced to tell your gifters that you live at my address and then I will mock you with pictures of the gifts that could have been yours, or you know, something.
Esp for those interested in genealogy and also useful for those who have adoption in their heritage and are looking for medical info, 23andMe is offering a $400 discount on their genealogy/med DNA pkg. I've seen several discount codes today although I have not seen anything saying when this offer expires. Anyway, $99 for this package is a VERY good price.
Unfortunately, they've added some monthly contract which will bring the true cost of things up to something around $150, but it's still a deal.
More bookish stuff. The first moment of terror has crept in-- local BN has no plans to carry STARS, although several of the other area stores are. However, reports of sightings in the wild would be awesome, if and when folks are out in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks!
Hey, all! Don't forget -- if you're shopping at Amazon, if you use this link [link] we'll get a percentage! There are links for the UK and Canadian Amazon sites, as well as Powell's, on the Links page, too!
New blog post in which I quote our lovely erinaceous: Verbing Nouns Planfully and Other Jobs for Word Warriors.
Slacker Secret Santa: All of you who want to exchange presents with other Buffistas but haven't mailed the nicest about it yet, this is your chance!
Please send your info (board name and snail-mail address) to my profile address until the 10th of December. By then, I'll match you up to pairs of givers and recipients, and let you know which is who.
Even though it's titled with the word "Slacker" in it, you do remember that last year we voted on a gift-deadline of March, right? It doesn't mean you can't slack, just that there's a limit to it. Hope it's OK.
Your truly,
Absolutely-not-Tiny Jewish not-Santa
Hey, I wrote a letter to the Manolo shoe blog and he published it!!!1! [link] I am way more chuffed by this than I should be, but it has made my day!
Today is our next irregularly scheduled Onerous Task Day.
Should you choose to play along please join us at 2pm EST / 11am PST and cross that lingering, avoided, onerous task off your to-do list.
Make that call, fill out those forms, read that Faulkner, file those invoices, update your files, enter that data, pill that dog, clean out those gutters and get over the hump of hump day.
