Look what I got in my hot little hands today:
It smells nice, too.
I also signed an ARC to be part of the Mike Ford Auction at Boskone, so if you want a sneak preview, now you have an excuse to attend that particular SF convention and bid. And since I plan to be Boskone, I’ll even personalize it for you.
In other news, I managed to stay awake past 10pm tonight. Go me!
beauty.
“And since I plan to be Boskone . . . ”
You plan to BE Boskone? You mean people that if I were to register for Boskone I’d be registering to attend YOU? What kind of accomodations do you offer? Will you have other speakers, or is this more of a “pay money for some Scalzenfreude” kind of thing?
Ooh, the precious. It likes us. We read it???
“And since I plan to be Boskone . . . ”
‘You plan to BE Boskone?’
This could also mean he plans to be a council of intergalactic evil overlords.
(Don’t call him a zwilnick, that really makes him go all Delgonian on you.)

Can’t wait.
I finished TAD last night, btw. I think it’s your best yet. Loved all the jokes, although I think I might fit in well with the Nugentians.
(sniff) ah, printer’s dust, just like fairy dust.
Looks all shiney, and ANOTHER SciFi essentials feather, congrats!
There are a handful of advantages to being a newspaper reporter. Money isn’t one, but being friendly with the book-review editor is. :) Methinks a walk to her office is in order….
Andrew, WAIT! If you snarf it now, there won’t be a Scalzi review (unless you’re writing it yourself, or you’re just putting dibbs on it, which, you know, one of those big “special” cookies helps).
Can’t wait!
I should be getting TAD in the mail tomorrow, and if it’s as good as everyone says it is (and I’m sure it is) I’ll be done reading it by Sunday!
I hope they’re sending out such things to booksellers. I’ll have to see if I can’t get my hot little hands on one…
Ooooo, pretty. As of yesterday, I have finished my fourth Scalzi book.
I’m drooling….
Well, apropos of nothing, ‘The Ghost Brigades’- like ‘Old Man’s War’ – got the highest vote of confidence from my better half: Took it out on the porch after breakfast (it’s a southern hemisphere summer, so you can do that) and he didn’t have lunch until he finished it just after 2.00pm. Not quite as impressive as a full page review in the NYT Book Review, or a Hugo nomination, but he’s one hard buzzard to please… and we’re both looking forward to the precious. :)
Steve: No worries. I’ll snarf the thing in a day or two, then quietly replace it.
So far it hasn’t appeared, though.
