Bits and bobs round-up to clear some tags.

My browser is getting out-of-control again, and that means it's time to snag some links to clear some tags. Because that's just how we roll around here.

First up for today: I was part of an essay collection called Chicks Dig Time Lords, conceptualized by the lovely Tara O'Shea (who took my subtle hints about how she should let me submit with extremely good grace). Tansy Rayner Roberts posted a lovely review of the book as a whole, and called out my essay, "Mathematical Excellence: A Documentary" as "the pathos-ridden, hilarious, awful tale of a child whose childhood is colored by the deeply held belief that Doctor Who was a documentary series." Sadly accurate. Very cool review—and very cool book!

Heather at Darkly Reading has posted a review of A Local Habitation, and says "Ahh...what can I say about A Local Habitation, it has location (San Francisco Bay Area), hot and broody potential love interest (Tybalt), awesome heroine job (knight errant), and amusing sidekick (Quentin). All the perfect elements to make another great entry into one of my new favorite urban fantasy series." People who love Quentin and Tybalt are a-okay by me!

Heather also posted today's Sinful Sunday, with a focus on everybody's favorite snarky Cait Sidhe hottie. Yes: it's a whole post about Tybalt being awesome. Don't say I never gave you anything.

Dawn interviewed me for Horror Web! It was super-fun (good interviews usually are), and covered some really interesting ground. Check it out.

defectivewookie has posted an LJ review of Rosemary and Rue, and says "The prologue to Rosemary and Rue floored me. I put the book down, sat there for a moment, and then literally said "wow" out loud." Also: "The rest of the novel built on that impression, giving one of the most fleshed out and fully realized worlds I've encountered in Urban Fantasy. Read it. Now." Totally cool!

Rob at Aphelion has posted a review of A Local Habitation. He says "In the center of it all, complaining bitterly the entire time, is Toby Daye, a remarkably flawed, complex antihero who inspires you to alternately cheer her on and want to slap her silly. In a genre populated by unflappable protagonists who never blink in the face of danger, Toby is willing to admit, to herself if not always to others, when she's in way over her head." WIN! Also: "A Local Habitation is a delightful continuation of the October Daye series, and in many ways improves on its exceptional predecessor. With luck, we'll be seeing a lot more of Toby, and Seanan McGuire, in the future."

Miss Corene has posted a short, sweet review of Rosemary and Rue. No pull-quotes—like I said, it's short—but totally worth it for the pictures she took of the book in fun places.

Erika at Jawas Read, Too has posted a lovely review of A Local Habitation. The review is long, meaty, and difficult to pull a single quote from; go and give it a read, because she has some fascinating things to say.

I have lots more links, but not lots more time—Wondercon calls!—so that's where I'll leave things for today. More later.
