Tip jar results.All things have been totaled (at long last), and the results of the latest tip jar are in, coming to a princely $1,187. I am still awed and amazed by the generosity of my readers. You've allowed me to prioritize finishing three InCryptid stories over the next three months ( Read more... )

Oh dear... I don't want the end of the Fran and Johnny books because we know how their tragic ending comes about... (but I am interested in Alice meeting Thomas) and oooh, Artie! XD!

I love how after I dye my hair some fantastically bright shade, I'm bopping over to B&N to get me a lovely copy of Sparrow Hill Road. I can't wait!

I think Alice and Thomas are going to be even more heart-wrenching than losing Fran. Hoo boy.

Hooray, fantastically bright shades!

Hooray for May! Hooray for the tip jar! Hooray for seeing more of Artie being adorkable!

Wait, Lizzie? Who's that?

seanan_mcguire May 3 2014, 16:50:25 UTC

Lizzy is my sister's cat who is occasionally in the house with mine.

Hooray appearances! I may have convinced a work friend, one of the members of a side chatroom coincidentally called #cupcake, to come with me. We shall see!

Hooray!

Thank you for the tip about Borderlands. I had difficulty acquiring the first Velveteen book from it's publisher, and was looking to buy it from a bookstore for the second one. And now I will (as soon they restock another book I wanted)! The shipping was much more reasonable than anyone other than Amazon has quoted me in the last few years for shipping books.

I am rather excited about Borderlands now.

Just be sure to check and see if they have the Velveteen in stock. Everybody has been having difficulty acquiring it from the publisher. :(

Yes, I have heard, and have no blame on your for that. But Borderlands said they would hold a copy for me until Pumpkin King comes in, so I am in the land of "eventually, my precious, eventually".

Though, really, since I own it on ebook and and audiobook, owning in print is so my husband can read it. I just can't discuss it with him until he reads it, and he doesn't do ebooks.
