I just opened it to discover 4 ARCs from Random House.
Anything that looks good?
I want the book fairy to send me free books, too.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I know some book fairys! But they work for Amazon and only do it for money.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Dear PTB -
Why are you still making shit like, oh I don't know - whatever shit you are making for television these days - and NOT making any more "Slings & Arrows"? Why, for the love of Lear? I WANT RICHARD III!!
Stupid good show with there being no more stupids.

Tongues of Serpents, by Naomi Novik. Galileo's Dream by Kim Stanley Robinson. The War That Came Early: West and East by Harry Turtledove. Dragon Soul by Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennett.
ETA: I was planning to buy Naomi Novik's book, and I think I've heard positive things about Jones and Bennett. Don't know about the other two.

Okay, I don't know what you're sending her, but if it's related to what I think it is, why is my inbox looking so forlorn?

I've sent you most of what I've sent her already! Just over a longer period of time.
But I'll forward you what I just sent her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The good thing, Aims, is that Slings and Arrows is endlessly rewatchable. I think I watched S1 six times in a row.
Anyone out there milking African cape buffalo
Widely considered to be the most dangerous of the five big game animals in Africa. (Uh...Rhino, Elephant, Lion, Leopard and Cape Buffalo.)
