Sounds like good praise to me! I'm so looking forward to this one, and not just because of the Jim Butcher story!

[ellen_datlow]

Oh good.

to my file of reviews of important UF works. Speaking of which, am currently reading & highly enjoying _Winter's Tale_. What a love song to New York!

I would have enjoyed it better if I hadn't thought it was a ripoff of Crowley's Little, Big.

Gods...

I like it 10 times better than LB. By this point in that book I was bored out of my mind & just kept slogging through, desperate for something to happen. I'm having a great deal more fun w/ this one & finding it difficult to put down when my break is up.

Ah well, simple pleasures for simple minds. :-)

Re: Gods...

[ellen_datlow]

Oh I adored LB. Oh well. Different strokes.

Oh &...

did you see Peter Beagle's little bump for Naked City on FB?

Re: Oh &...

[ellen_datlow]

No but I saw Jeff Ford's and I think Rick Bowes's (or Kit Reed's). I don't think Peter shows up on my fb.

safe to friend

He's very low output.

[ellen_datlow]

We're already friends but he doesn't appear on my feed for whatever reason.

[ellen_datlow]

just found it--and thanks for your comment :-)

well I AM.

I almost added "Ellen always does good work," but it's HIS post; didn't want to derail it.

I also keep wanting to tell Michael Kelly that I've bugged you to read "Stay," (from Chilling Tales), but think I'd better wait to hear if you like it first. :-)

OK, shower bound then bed. Sleep well & sweet dreams!

Re: well I AM.

[ellen_datlow]

Good idea ;-).

I haven't gotten to Chilling Tales yet.
In the middle of reading two subs for a mini-workshop I'm guesting at next week.
