Hooray, hooray, the...um, well, the end of May. But we're celebrating the glorious end of a glorious month with something truly glorious beyond all measure:

The first officially published review of Rosemary and Rue!

Look at it. Isn't it preeeeeeetty? I just sort of want to cuddle it and love it and call it "George." Or maybe "Dave." Or maybe "to come over for drinks," although that could just be my inner Jane speaking. Big, big thanks to Rae for both reviewing the book, and for admitting to her biases right up front, thus making her a responsible reviewer who can be believed. Because nothing says "love" like being up-front about the things that could potentially

sway your hand.

(To be quite clear, I actually do trust Rae to be objective, because I've seen her savage things by creators she loves. She's like a cuddly wombat, totally harmless until she transforms herself into a WHIRLING BLENDER OF TOOTHY DEATH. I appear to have missed the "frappe" setting, and for this, I am truly glad.)

Book reviews. They, like milk, make a body glad.

I WANT TO READ THIS BOOK NOW.

Ouch. I think I strained a tonsil or something.

Seriously, I'm so looking forward to this book - I keep reminding the lady who does the ordering for my local library that it comes out in September. :-)

When I found it in the Chapters website I was happy. I said to Vicky I'll buy it even if I don't read it. Vicky wonderesd what it was about. I told her I wasn't sure but I thought there were Zombies in it. She'll be as happy I am that doesn't seem to be the case. I am now pumped to read the book. Is there a way to cross post it to Capters.ca, so your book has something up about it>

Oh and Vicky will likley want you to sign our copy at OVFF,, just to let you know oh, Vicky is my 17 year old daughter who loves filk and reading and stuff almost as much as her parents do.

Noooooooooo, there are no zombies. Newsflesh is the one with the zombies. Toby is the series with the faeries. There's a detailed precis on my website, if you'd care to amble over that way.

As I said, I'd pay money for this book if someone I actively disliked had written it. That is written by my friend is awesome gravy.

Yay for positive reviews and double yay for positive reviews that elaborate on why the reviewer loved it.

Yeah. I'm much, much happier when there's context.
