ecstaticI scrolled down the list.
Late Eclipses, the fourth October Daye adventure, held the #32 slot.
I stared at it for a few minutes before calling Vixy and asking her to click the link. I didn't tell her why, because let's face it, I wanted to know if she could see it, too. She made inquisitive noises as she scrolled...and then she started shrieking. Okay, so yeah. She could see it.
Lots of screaming and flailing followed, as well as a phone tree that managed to double back on itself about seventeen times. Oxygen was not a priority. The Agent eventually returned my call, and then we spent a lovely half-hour or so going "Oh my God" a lot, which is basically what I was hoping she would do (sometimes, being coherent is for other people). The cats watched all of this with disdain, thus proving that the essential laws of reality had not changed, and eventually, I watched Fringe and went to bed.
I'm a New York Times bestselling author. Me.
I still can't believe I'm not asleep.

Frankly: I adore it. I'm on my third read-through already. It's by far my favourite of the series so far. Toby doubting her sanity, the OT3 of mmmmm (Tybalt/Toby/Connor, in other words, because I think it would be incredibly amazing if you decided to explore the concept of polyamory within Faerie, even though Raysel's still technically in the picture? Because yeah, hardly anyone does beyond male-centred polygamy in SF&F, and it would be so, so great to see it t'other way about & Toby not have to make the stereotypical choice between two points of a triangle?) and finally seeing Amandine sort-of-kind-of-not-really in the flesh? And Spike being a cutie? And all that other brilliant stuff?
*grins* Did I babble? I'm sorry. But I am in the middle of reading Late Eclipses for the third time, and I LOVE this book SO MUCH. Remember the cat macro with the kitty hugging the ball of thread and "I Love This Thread SO MUCH"? Like THAT.
