I had another go at reading The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack, and didn't finish it again. Possibly it's just not meant to be.

Holly Black, White Cat

Via our mutual agent (because I haven't been paying attention to the news, apparently) -- E.C. Myers' Fair Coin wins the Andre Norton Nebula!!

Fair Coin is a really great and fun book, and Mr Myers is a really great and fun dude. (I know this because I met him at WFC last year, and sat next to him at dinner.) Good job, people-who-pick-the-Nebulas!

Wow, you know, I think I may have the most boring LJ on the planet.

Anyway.
