Rosemary and reviews, as the beat goes on.

djonn decided to surprise me with another stealth review of Rosemary and Rue. He liked it! I am glad. (I don't assume my friends will enjoy my book, because that would be silly. I admit that it's a little more exciting when people I don't know like my book, but that's just because I know the total strangers have no reason to soft-shoe when I suck. My friends would at least find a nice way to say "wow, sweetie, you got punched in the face by the stupid fairy this morning, didn't you?")

Lurva ala Mode was one of the first sites to pick up on the news about the Toby Daye books, and did an absolutely glowing new author spotlight a few months back. Well, their review of Rosemary and Rue has just gone live, and it's awesome. I fully support any review that says people need to look for Rosemary and Rue on shelves on September 1st. Remember, buy early, buy often, help me keep my cats in scratching posts.

It's a good day.

I can't stop finding Toby kinda hot. She's going to punch me.

Nah, she'll just look at you blankly, and walk away. Now, the guys that have a thing for Toby, and access to more weapons than you do? They might be a problem.

Oh, they can have her. She's not that hot.

That's the safe choice.

My housemate shares that sentiment, only with my art projects.

I have got two copies set to pre-order because my purple haired fairy of mental health wants one and since I cannot shower her in diamonds and amethysts, your book will still make her happy.

The other is because I have to give back the ARC.

I am happy to have been your first stealth review!

I am being STEALTH and ordering copies from different locations so that the computers think LOTS OF PEOPLE want it instead of, you know, me wanting it LOTS OF TIMES.
