FEED is available now.

Today is the official North American release date for Feed [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy]. The Kindle edition will be released on May 1st; if you just can't wait, this is a great opportunity for you Kindle-lovers to pick up a physical copy, read it, and give it to your local library. The UK edition will be out sometime in May (exact date not available to me at this specific moment in time).

This is my third book. This is my first book. This is my second series (although this one is actually a trilogy). This is, at least for the moment, my longest book, and in some ways, my most complex. I am terrified and elated, and, because this is What We Do Around Here, I present our resident little dead ghoul, Mel, all dressed up for the occasion. This is the first time I've cut her hair for the purposes of a pin-up. It's also the most elaborate set of lighting effects I've yet used, and I like it, even if it does leave her looking a little gray (only appropriate).

But yes, it is my release day. I have eaten a cotton candy-flavored cupcake, and tonight I will have dinner with Kate. Amy arrives this weekend. I have not shoved anything into my eye. Now help reward my publisher's faith in me by rushing out and bringing the Masons home with you!

*kicks the ground* I kind of did, already. Yesterday. Because my local B&N had it out already. *runs away giggling* Mine mine mine mine mine!

I acquired it yesterday, the guy at the Barnes and Noble seemed very surprised to have found it. If I wasn't already reading the new Wild Card novel, I would probably have stayed up last night to read.

Yay!

Yeah, annoyingly, I flew out of MN (and CA) yesterday, after seeing if I could get a day-early copy and failing. I'm sure Amazon will help me out, though.

I fully expect it to be waiting for me when I get home. Amazon loves me that way, you know. ^^

Pre-ordered it months ago ^_^ Package tracking says it's at the local post office now and I should get it today!

...but I'm planning on waiting so I'll have reading material on my fifteen hour transatlantic plane trip. Assuming I can resist it STARING AT ME for the next month.

I'm a little over half way through it and already writing my review in my head.

I'm having trouble putting it down for things like eating and bathing.

It is saving me from dying of boredom watching the same video in Spanish class five times in a row.

It. Is. So. Good.

seanan_mcguire

April 27 2010, 17:56:33 UTC 7 years ago

I'm so glad you like it.

We bought 4 copies:
Two direct shipped to friends
One to my brother
One for us.

All because we got so geeked by the ARC.
Next step, creating Viral-Amplification Testing Units.

HAPPY BOOK RELEASE DAY! :)

edit: I convinced my boyfriend to purchase this book as a pre-order. It arrived yesterday and he's very excited to get started. :)

Ran out the minute I found out it was released this morning! I can't wait to get off work to start devouring. :)

They do tend to happen around here. Bizarre...

April 27 2010, 18:53:12 UTC 7 years ago

Ah, I bought this at Borders on Saturday. First I'd seen/heard about it. Can't wait to start it :)

spectralbovine

April 27 2010, 19:27:17 UTC 7 years ago

So you walked into a bookstore, saw a book that looked interesting, and just bought it? That actually still happens? Wild!

(I did that this one time. It turned out well. Memories!)

Happy Book Day!

My copy should be in my hands sometime tomorrow. Considering the length, expect the review sometime next week.

Can't wait!

Considering the length, expect the review sometime next week.
I expect it earlier. It reads far more quickly than you think. I was surprised to discover it was so long when I was done.

No worries--I have every book of yours as soon as it hits local shelves, and I've re-read all that I own twice already. :chuckle: If I have enough free cycles of time, you might even get rose goblin fan art.

deire

April 27 2010, 20:14:05 UTC 7 years ago

And huh--just realized my last fan art was the PB with fedora picture for suricattus. Huh.

Feed is my reward for finishing my PhD quals. It is lovely and encouraging to have things to anticipate so much!

I have mine. I am much pleased. More are coming in the mail.

Hooray!

Happy book day!

It looks like the Nook version is also on target for a May 1 release; they're accepting pre-orders on BN.com. Still no Nook version of A Local Habitation, though.

seanan_mcguire

April 28 2010, 19:57:46 UTC 7 years ago

Oh, neat.

The Toby books are published by DAW, not Orbit, so the contracts would be handled differently. Sadly, my publishers are not indicators of each other.
