Rosemary and reviews for the end of November.

The reviews continue to crop up here and there (and if you haven't written a review on Goodreads or Amazon yet, please consider that as my Christmas present). We're about to hit December, and hence the tail-end of 2009, so here is a quick collection of the best of the last little stretch of time:

Over on Michelle's Book Blog, the eponymous Michelle says "I loved this book!" and "I have never been so blown away by a book's prologue as I was with Rosemary and Rue." I win! And you win at review, Michelle!

The Sacramento Book Review, meanwhile, says "Author Seanan McGuire bursts through the gates of fantastical romance with this incredible first novel." Also, "Rosemary and Rue is a fast paced ride through the streets, parks, and cliffs of San Francisco, lifting the covers to reveal that which lies unseen. An incredible mix of action, mystery, fairy, urban fantasy, and just a smidgen of romance artfully woven into a story impossible to put down." You'll excuse me while I dance.

Finally for today, Ravings of a Textual Deviant is doing thirty books in thirty days, and Rosemary and Rue was book number twenty-nine. The review says, helpfully, "Like the main character, the novel is continually striking a balance between the urban and the fantasy, and it's a good balancing act." Also, there's another Jim Butcher comparison (and since I'd love to have his readership, I'm okay with that.)

So that's it for today—whee!

I ate ice cream and slept.

I was thinking along the lines of champagne and a dinner out, but ice cream and sleeping works, too (hahahah)
