Speaking of things being in stock, I popped into Blackwell's yesterday and saw Knife there in the 8-12 section, face-out and all sparkly. I didn't realize it would be sparkly!

Didn't actually manage to buy it yet, as I am a bit short on funds, but I look forward to doing so!

Yes, the iridescent finish is a nice touch! And thanks for letting me know you saw it in the wild. It's hard for me to go bookspotting from across the ocean!

I do wish they'd kept that title in the US! But it could be worse; at least Spell Hunter isn't too bad. I still feel for whatsername who had her marvelous UK titles Gideon the Cutpurse and The Tar Man changed to the very boring Time Travelers and Time Thief, respectively.

This does sound like a fun read.

And darn it, I've been keeping your definition of kitchen sink books in mind and came across one recently, and now I can't remember what it was. Curses!

You know, your post initially confused me, because there's the British (mostly TV) term 'kitchen sink drama', which means a usually very depressing story about life in (generally working class) families. Which neither your books nor Adrienne Kress' sound like, thank goodness!

LOL, yes, I was thinking of the expression "everything but the kitchen sink", definitely not about grim working-class drama!

Looks (and sounds) beautiful!

Incidentally the first review of Timothy at Amazon, by one Alice Loweecey, is so good (in the sense of giving me a feel for the book, not of saying the book is good, though it does that too) that she ought to be paid for it. Or at least do more of them!

Wow, you're right, that is a GREAT review!

Also, I *do* like kitchen-sink books, and it turns out Alex and the Ironic Gentleman is available on Kindle. So I bought it. I'm really liking this not having to wait for books to be shipped, but I think I'm going to need to set myself rules for how often I can buy books!
