Congrats, Barb!
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's great news, Barb. I think you were overdue for some good news.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Do not despair, Toddson. The Sharing Knife: Horizons came out in hardback this week. It was apparently available to read online for the last month.

I think that Borders won't be carrying Horizons, but that's due more to their business problems than anything to do with the book.

Excellent news, Barb!
Just dropping by to point out an Onion article that cracked me right up: Obama Disappointed Cabinet Failed To Understand His Reference To 'Savage Sword Of Conan' #24.

It's the fourth Sharing Knife book. I am not particularly enthused by the Sharing Knife series.
Miles! Miles! Miles!

Miles! Miles! Miles!
Although really I want an Ivan book. I want Ivan to meet his Cordelia. (Not that Cordelia would have had any patience with Ivan, but still--he needs to be knocked off his feet by someone that awesome. [Um, not Byerly.][Not that there's anything wrong with that.]{But I don't think Barrayar is ready for that yet.})

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