Things about which I am excited this week.

1) The new Kelley Armstrong comes out tomorrow! Frostbitten [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy] is the tenth book in her Women of the Otherworld series, and the fourth (!) to feature Clayton and Elena. Now, Elena's not my favorite narrator-that honor is reserved for Paige, with Jaime coming in a close second-but her books are always exciting reads, and

Anthony Michael Hall, how you fulfill me.
Er, you mean Michael C. Hall, my dear. Hee.

John Dies at the End sounds pretty great. But, geez, SPOILER WARNING.

[seanan_mcguire]

You're right. I mean, they both fulfill me, but you're still totally right.

What's great about John Dies at the End is that it's so much fun the spoiler in the title doesn't matter.

Of course, now I want to see Anthony Michael Hall guest-star on Dexter.

I'm most excited about the plan for how the week ends, which has me being a guest at Con*Cept. This gives me a good chance of meeting Kelley Armstrong, who is one of their author guests.

Oh, fantastic! I'm so envious now!

[seanan_mcguire]

AWESOME!

Maybe you were waiting to be excited another day regarding:

Or is this simply a vicious rumor?

[seanan_mcguire]

This is not a vicious rumor! I'll be there, and probably reading something super-exciting! It's just not something to be excited about today, as that's the scary, scary future.

NCIS and NCIS-LA (the spinoff series from the end of last season). Which, going by the first episode, is not bad (I wasn't sure from the crossover start last season, but then I wasn't at all sure about NCIS spinning off from JAG at its start either, I suspect that I just am not very keen on the sort of episodes which start spinoffs, they tend in my experience to be not so good from the parent series and haven't got into the child series yet).

And I hear that in a couple of weeks the new Sarah Jane Adventures will be starting on BBC.

[seanan_mcguire]

I can't handle any more series right now. My cup already runneth over. But Alex is watching and cries awesome.

[keristor]

Well, having no Abby in it limits the awesome *g*. But it's certainly in my "good enough to download and watch regularly" category (but then that also included last year's new Knight Rider series so perhaps my standards are a little suspect -- or they include "hot sassy girls" *g*).

OBTW, I now have the first of the Jim Hines books you recommended (The Stepsister Scheme). Scheduled for reading sometime this week (probably not in time to get in my booklist at the end of the month). The Mermaid's Madness is on order, when they get it...

[seanan_mcguire]

I'm sure Jim will be delighted to hear that! I also recommend Josh Palmatier's Thrones of Amankor series, starting with The Skewed Throne. Epic fantasy I actually liked.
