It's the holiday season, and nice things are vital to our continued equilibrium. Equilibrium is nice! And so I present you with some nice things, to maintain this blessed state.<br /><br />First of all, <a href="http://seananmcguire.com/wallpapers.php">The Toby Wallpapers and Icons page</a> has been updated over on my website. You can now download some basic wallpapers and icons for <i>Late Eclipses</i>, as well as wallpapers and icons for <i>Nebelbann</i> (the German edition of <i>A Local Habitation</i>). Plus there's a fantastic new wallpaper/icon set for <i>An Artificial Night</i>, showing dear Katie, all toned in beautiful blues and whites.<br /><br />Second of all, <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5512.Beautiful_Book_Covers_of_2011">the cover for <i>Late Eclipses</i> has been nominated as one of the Beautiful Book Covers of 2011</a>. While I'd love it if you'd go and vote for me, this counts as a nice thing because some of these covers are truly gorgeous, and I hadn't seen the majority of them before. I'm really excited about the books coming out in 2011! It's going to be a banner year for reading.<br /><br />Third of all, because I am me and I truly do regard this as "a nice thing," here is <a href="http://brainz.org/15-cute-animals-will-cause-you-horrible-harm/">a list of really cute animals that will seriously fuck you up if given the opportunity to do so</a>. Hooray! Some of these animals are <i>really</i> cute. And all of them are <i>really</i> included to make you wish that you'd never been born. I tend to regard this as <i>awesome</i>.<br /><br />Happy Wednesday!
