Time for link soup. Because I am tired, and full of breakfast.

So my recent radio silence has been largely the result of the New York Comic Convention, where I have paneled many panels, signed many signatures, shopped much shopping, and slept many sleeps. Honestly, I should probably sleep a few more sleeps, and that's why you're getting a link roundup now. Because I am lazy, and my inbox is exploding.

Rena has posted a lovely review of A Local Habitation, and says that, "There are some interesting twists and turns, and a lot of action—this book was less about solving the mystery than it was about advancing other aspects of the plot of the series, with some very discreet info dumping." Cool.

Wayward Drui has posted a review of An Artificial Night, and says, "This is the most solid book to come out of this series yet. And the creepiest. And topping A Local Habitation for chill factor was quite the feat in of itself." I'm creepy! Yay!

Dave at Dave Does the Blog (love that name) has reviewed Feed, and says, "This is ostensibly the first of a series. I’ve rarely read such that didn’t scream for a sequel, but this story works perfectly well stand-alone novel. A really fun, really readable, really engrossing book. Very highly recommended." He's ambivalent about the idea of a sequel, but I'm not.

A fabulous review of An Artificial Night has been posted at From the Shadows, and says, "I highly recommend An Artificial Night to readers of urban fantasy, paranormal suspense, fantasy, and especially to fans of the Rachel Morgan books by Kim Harrison and The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher." Yay!

Finally for this batch of THE LINKS THE LINKS OH GOD THE LINKS, Janicu has posted a review of An Artificial Night, and says, "What an awesome series this is. Every time I read one, it manages to make me feel a jittery need to read the next one. Luckily, McGuire seems to be a prolific writer and so far we’ve seen two Toby Daye installments a year." ...prolific, I can do.

Anyway, that kills the current batch of links, for which I am very grateful, as it means I can go back to posting the unending archival links (and thus, someday, potentially, end them). I am still in New York, I am still largely away from the keyboard, and I am still dying for a Diet Dr Pepper.

IGNITE THE BIOSPHERE!

I sat down and read the entirety of An Artificial Night yesterday afternoon. In like 3 hours. Because I could not stop. Thankfully I did not have to use the restroom in that time, or my kidneys would be very unhappy with you right now for being too awesome.

The best part is that my pendants from Mia arrived right before I left the house and started reading, so I actually caught where most of the poem bits came from while reading the book. Which made it extra awesome.

I continue to absolutely love the Luidaeg and my new love is May. Love love love.

You may want to learn how to walk and read at the same time. I've found it useful for walking to the bathroom while not leaving the story.

Oh, I absolutely do that when I'm at home. If I'm reading intently at home, the book will come everywhere with me. But I was in a Starbucks, and I try not to take stuff into public bathrooms with me if I can avoid it. :D

I concede the point; I've lost count of the stuff I left behind in public bathrooms.
