It just keeps on getting better...

Publishers Weekly has released their list of the Best Books of 2010. Including their selections for the best science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

Feed made the list.

I am genuinely overjoyed. It's also a nice change from focusing on trying to breathe without hacking up a lung, that having been my previous activity for the morning. I wrote one of the Best Books of 2010! OH MY SWEET GREAT PUMPKIN AND PIE.

This isn't very coherent, in part because I don't have it in me to be coherent right now. Mostly, I just have it in me to be flailing wildly, and totally ecstatic.

Squee.

This is very, very cool. But then, coolness does tend to surround you. :)

Congratulations!

Btw, I just noticed you're the Literary GoH for next year's ConClave. Guess I missed the announcement. I'm very fond of ConClave and ConFusion, both in Michigan.

Heck, I hadn't even seen that announcement, and I'm a quarter of the Filk GOH! (I knew about us, obviously... I just didn't know about Seanan.)

Squeee!!

I finally found a copy while on vacation in NM (love Hastings in Las Cruces) and it was my flight & commute reading. You, er, Mira made me cry. More than once. Damn fine book.

It depends on what the thing was? The cats, um, eat packaging sometimes. Give me a clue?

First, SQUEEEEEE! and huge congratulations!!!

But, second? No one here is surprised. WE all already knew that you wrote one of the best books of 2010. I mean, duh.

Writing under a pseudonym was a stroke of brillance: whenever FEED gets a plug, the reviewer often mentions your real name and associated genre of fiction -- that's twice the publicity!!!! Brilliant!

seanan_mcguire

November 9 2010, 02:01:39 UTC 6 years ago

It's pretty spiffy.
