Booooooooooookssssssssss

HOMG HOMG HOMG HOMG!!!! (FLAIL)

This morning, I fell out of bed (I missed the bedside table! \o/), turned on my phone and oozed to the kitchen for coffee while it did its thing. After coffee had been obtained, what did my phone tell me via e-mail?

Tongue of Serpents, the next part of the Temeraire series, came out in stores today! Woohoo!
( Babble about Dragons )

This is a good week for books. On Sunday, I picked up Red Hood's Revenge by jimhines, another book I've been kicking over the traces for. This is book three of his Princess series, and it's so good that I was already mourning the end at chapter 8.
( Let me tell you why you need to read this )

In other, less essay-like news, I started poking at Girl Steve, intending to just write a short story and get it out of my system. Well, I have the short story I wanted, but it doesn't feel like it wants to be short. D: It ends, and it's a good ending, but it feels like it wants to go on. Like... It has a "Chapter 1" feel to it. Pretty sure Valtyr is to blame, somehow. Somehow, I have the feeling that I am going to write an Ults story that revolves around pretty dresses. Yeah, IDGI either.

But, speaking of writing, did anyone see this secret today? Show of hands for who saw it and didn't immediately think of using emoticons and symbols in a story. (looks around) Yeah, I thought so.

So... If anyone wants me, I'll be at my computer, making Tony ♥ and Steve ♥, while everyone else says :O. And possibly also eating something.
