The power of kittens compels you.





Buy Rosemary and Rue [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxies]. Because if you don't, you'll make the kitten cry. (Actually, you'll probably just make the kitten shed and play with feather toys. But that's beside the point.)

Still no love at Canadian booksellers. :( I need to go by the local all-SFF store and see if they can preorder it. (Business for local booksellers == victory.)

Absolutely agreed. The ISBN-13 is 978-0756405717; that should work for a catalog look-up, if your local has access to the Penguin catalog.

The power of kittens. I'm just saying.

The kitten compels me. Must obey.

I have no credit cards of any kind, so I can't pre-order. Thus, I will be making an actual trip to an actual bookstore to pick up a copy. :-)

I am sure this will appease the kitten.

As a rule, I do as kittens tell me.

It's just safer that way.

Also a valid response!

Does she already shed enough to knit a new one of her from?

seanan_mcguire

May 11 2009, 02:28:34 UTC 8 years ago

No, but Lilly is trying industriously to shed a second Siamese to help her tag-team.

Must... buy... Rosemary and Rue... o.o

Oh, exciting news! My husband and I have figured out that our new kitty is partially Siamese. She's got a similar head structure, though the constant talking is probably a better indicator of that.

...I now completely understand your love of the Siamese. Though the Maine Coon is adorably compelling. :3

Squee!

Siamese cats are awesome. It's undeniably true.

I always do what the Kittens tell me ...

... so what's the most effective place and time to buy a copy, in terms of encouraging booksellers to order a stack of books from your publisher to display prominently?

Pre-order now or just before release or just after? Local independent, online store, brick and mortar chain?

My local indie bookstore says that preorders placed more that 3 months pre-release get kicked out of the system, so I'm there June first. Of course, I also ordered a copy online, so I'm covered for the kitten-compulsion.

I'm not a fan of pre-ordering -- I'd rather have the funds come out of my checking account when I place the order instead of having to keep a little reminder notice in my ledger until the item actually ships, and then hope that I don't have any financial emergencies that week -- but Rosemary and Rue is on my list of books to buy as soon as they come out!

... has anyone told you that your kitten has Paws of Doom? Because she does.

seanan_mcguire

May 11 2009, 04:28:19 UTC 8 years ago

That makes sense!

Alice is a Maine Coon. Paws of Doom is actually in the breed standard.

I knew there was a reason I don't want a ARC! I might make the kitten cry!

Please thank Alice for me. I like knowing why I decide these things.

I have thanked her. She has been fluffy.

Alice is fluffy. Book is shiny.
