Fly-by Update

Still working on Skywatch dv, but my brain got hijacked by reading this weekend (the quite enjoyable October Daye series, by Seanan McGuire--just the first three!  I have to wait for the fourth to be returned to my library before I finish out the series as it exists so far.  A Local Habitation is my favorite of the first three).

In other Seanan McGuire-related news, DEADLINE COMES OUT TODAY!!

I am having so much trouble concentrating on the rest of my life right now, because as soon as I get out of work I will be high-tailing it to the bookstore and picking up my copy.  And then I will read it until there are no more pages.  And then likely I will fall asleep, because FEED was ~600 pages long and even if I manage my usual speedy 100 pages per hour, if DEADLINE is comparably long that's still 6 hours of reading.

Never before have I been this excited about a book coming out.  I mean, I wait with baited breath for the next Tamora Pierce, but FEED is just a horse of a different color, somehow.  It's a perfect storm of a book.

So, DEADLINE, by Mira Grant (Seanan McGuire's pseudonym for the Newsflesh series).  I can't actually recormmend it yet, but likely there will be a flaily review up here sometime soon, and I can rec FEED if you haven't read it yet!

Now I must return to my regularly-scheduled life, and keep glancing at the clock until I can run away to get my book.
