The tide's coming in tomorrow. A few bits and pieces.

Tomorrow is the release of One Salt Sea. Tomorrow. It's being spotted in the wild; I couldn't take this book back if I wanted to. And to be quite honest, I don't want to. I'm excited as all hell to know that you're about to have the chance to read it. I hope you will. And because I am a blonde who is disturbingly fond of feeding her cats, I hope you'll buy it, too, and enjoy it as much as I enjoy knowing that it's out there.

I am currently working on Ashes of Honor, and am literally making this post to free up some tabs. So here, have some links:

Book Banter is doing a giveaway, in which you can win a copy of One Salt Sea. I love the gang at Book Banter. They are awesomesauce. So enter, and win!

Sara Anne, who I found through Twitter, has an excellent post on why official publication dates matter, and hence why authors get a little sniffly when people talk about finding their books early. I would really, truly love to make the NYT again with this book. I would love to make the print list even more, since that would mean I'd have something to frame. If I make the print list, I will do a giveaway the likes of which has never before been seen. Just saying.

And look! One Salt Sea is a Night Owl Reviews Top Pick! Hooray! I'm totally thrilled, because this is totally awesome. Hooray for good reviews!

See you tomorrow!

I'm about a hundred pages in. Eye popping response to *spoilers that shall not be talked about in public*. :)

Yay new Toby!

Arrrrggg... Payday is tomorrow, so need to wait to purchase until then. But I always count as two copies in sales counts, because my 12 year old will Not Let Me Live unless she gets her very own ;-)

And I love you for it.

Very happy book day! I am happy to provide gooshy food funds. If you make the print copy of the NYT list, it will be posted in my cube at work, and I will squee all over my LJ and FB. I will be squeeing tomorrow after procuring the book. I may buy extras in preparation for Winter Holidays, too.... *grin*

Happy Tuesday

First coherent action of the day: buy One Salt Sea for my nook. And I deliberately put off errands yesterday to incorporate bookstore into today for the paper copies (shelf, lending and for mom.)

As I was at my local Barnes and Noble last night, I checked the shelves for early copies. There were none, but there was a lovely space cleared out for them! (My plan had been to go talk to the manager if they were there. I've actually never seen an early copy at this B&N.)

I am sad that my ritual of walking to Borders on my lunch hour to buy the new Toby is interrupted by the lack of Borders getting new stock. However, akawil is wonderful and is buying me a copy at the Barnes and Noble today.

I am so excited and terrified that this book is on shelves. I can't wait to see the reactions.

Up little bestseller numbers! Up! Up!
