SBD sad addiction version

I've only just managed to drag myself out of Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy only to discover THERE ARE THREE MORE. Aw, man.

And now I've read the first of those. Honestly, what is it with these authors that think we don't have lives? I have better things to do than get stuck reading their books. Unfortunately, I can't recall what those better things are at the moment.

Work. Yes, okay, I'm on it, BD! I promise.

I'm not even that fond of Fitz the main character. Okay, maybe I am.

    I think by "three more" you mean the Tawny Man trilogy? Well the good (or bad :D) news is that there's actually 9 books set in the same world, although the middle trilogy (Liveship traders) isn't told from Fitz's point of view but is set down south in the Rain Wilds - which is also where her latest book (The Dragon Keeper, available in the UK this week) takes place. :)

    eiiiiii. She's like Robert Jordan except she's a pretty good writer.

    Live-ship traders? as in the ship is alive? Hmmmmm

    I think I'll pretend I didn't know about these books for a week or two. Once I dive into them, I'm trapped.

    I don't think I've had that problem since I was a kid and I got stuck reading all the Narnia books. Every. Boring. One of them.

    I had to buy the last Dexter book, too. Actually, it was a lot of fun -- I really enjoyed Dexter and the kids. The little hellions. Did you know there's going to be a #4 in the series? Dexter By Design or something like that.

    Off to check my usual eBook purchase sites! :)

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to ...

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.   ...
