Must. Post. Reviews. Must. Not. Drown in links. So here:

Man in Black Reviews has posted a fabulous review of Deadline, and says, "I commented that the Newsflesh trilogy opening was one of the better novels I have read in several years, that it had nowhere up left to go, and that the second novel, Deadline, would have no choice but to go down. I come here today to eat those words, because Deadline goes anywhere but down hill." Woo!

Blogcritics has also posted a lovely review of Deadline, and says, "Grant takes the political intrigue of Feed and ratchets it up to 11 to a stunning conclusion in Deadline. And we can only hope that the next book of the trilogy—Blackout—serves to answer some of the questions asked in the first two books. The only bad part is we have to wait a while for those answers when Blackout is released in May 2012. I'm not sure I can wait another year!!" Neither am I!

Everything's better with Feed, right? Well, Alysha De Shae has posted a lovely review of Feed. There are no real pull quotes this time, but it's a good, solid review, and I appreciated it.

Our friends at Geek Speak Magazine have posted an awesome review of Feed, and say, "I’ve lost count of how many people I have recommended this book to, and/or bought this book for. Twenty? Thirty? Fifty? Maybe more. It is just one of those rare books you start to read and then just cannot stop, no matter what else is happening in your life that demands your immediate attention. You. Cannot. Stop. And then, when you come to the end of it, you’re all like HOLY FUCK, did that just really happen? That was INCREDIBLE!" Also: "There is not a zombie story anywhere that compares to Feed. For mine, it is the single best genre book of last year, bar none."

Sniffle.

I can't top that review right now, and so I won't even try. Here. Go listen to me hanging out on the Orbit podcast, instead.

More soon.

I think I read Feed right after I finished Mockingjay. That will really mess with your head, by the way.

Apropos of nothing, are you interested in Google Plus? I appear to have invitations at my disposal, and would like to hand one out to you before I run out, or whatever. If you would rather not, that's cool, too; you do already have a pretty strong web presence.

It's oddly soothing to listen to you discuss horrible diseases.

This is another reason why I love you. *waves her Fighting Pumpkins banner*

I do have to agree, it's totally awesome to know that there's someone else who wants to know how Ebola works or how a deadly disease (!) can spread via an insect vector.

Also, I love the Spinal Tap reference in that one review. Win. :D

I just finished reading Deadline today, having finished reading Feed a few days ago. Can May hurry up and get here please??? :)

I'm now reading Rosemary & Rue and enjoying it.

Thankfully, no. I have at least two books due between here and there, and if the time accelerated, I would be dropped by my primary publisher and forced to give up writing books, because no one would buy from an unreliable writer of my weight class.

I understand the realities, and I'm sorry if my comment came off as disregarding them. I look forward to the release of your books in the time set for them, and thank you for all of your hard work in writing them.

It's okay. I'm just really, really tired.
