Things about which I am excited this week.

1) The new Kelley Armstrong comes out tomorrow! Frostbitten [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy] is the tenth book in her Women of the Otherworld series, and the fourth (!) to feature Clayton and Elena. Now, Elena's not my favorite narrator—that honor is reserved for Paige, with Jaime coming in a close second—but her books are always exciting reads, and Armstrong definitely knows how to tell a story. I'm super-excited (and not just because she gave me a kick-ass cover blurb).

2) Oh, wow! Is it finally time for the major publisher hardcover edition of David Wong's John Dies at the End [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy]?! It so totally is! John Dies at the End started as an Internet serial, became a limited-run paperback from Permuted Press, and is now a glorious hardcover packed with horror, comedy, excitement, and the dreaded soy sauce. I love this book. Now you can actually own it. You're so lucky.

3) Dexter is back! Glorious, glorious, amazing Dexter. Michael C. Hall, how you fulfill me.

4) Actually, while I'm talking TV, here are all the other shows I follow that are back on the air (presented in alphabetical order, for the sake of my sanity): America's Next Top Model, Big Bang Theory, Bones, Castle, Fringe, Glee, NCIS, Numb3rs, So You Think You Can Dance, and Supernatural. Basically, I am awash in televised goodness.

5) Whip It comes out on Friday. I have to say, there is no bad in a world that can combine Ellen Paige with roller derby. No bad at all. Hopefully, it'll take the nasty taste of the recent Fame remake out of my mouth.

So that's what I'm excited about this week. What are you excited about?

Well, having no Abby in it limits the awesome *g*. But it's certainly in my "good enough to download and watch regularly" category (but then that also included last year's new Knight Rider series so perhaps my standards are a little suspect -- or they include "hot sassy girls" *g*).

OBTW, I now have the first of the Jim Hines books you recommended (The Stepsister Scheme). Scheduled for reading sometime this week (probably not in time to get in my booklist at the end of the month). The Mermaid's Madness is on order, when they get it...

I'm sure Jim will be delighted to hear that! I also recommend Josh Palmatier's Thrones of Amankor series, starting with The Skewed Throne. Epic fantasy I actually liked.
