Books 'n' things

1. That handmade meme - naye sent me a package of total condensed awesome. ♥ ♥ ♥ I haven't even started making anything for anybody yet!

2. And here's why I won't be working on it this weekend -- I got all of my Amazon.com boxes! Which means I'm currently drowning in tempting entertainment options! Pepper and space zombies, or Harry Dresden? Choices. SO MANY CHOICES. ♥ Here is a partial list of what I have:

- Sly Mongoose (Tobias Buckell) (already about a third finished!)
- Backup (Jim Butcher)
- Welcome to the Jungle (Dresden files graphic novel - I CAVED)
- Why I Hate Saturn (Kyle Baker) (I love Kyle Baker, and there's still so much I haven't read!)
- Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China (Leslie T. Chang) (I read a review of this book a little while back and put it on my wish list immediately - it sounded utterly fascinating!)
- Inkheart (Cornelia Funke) (I know nothing about this book and haven't even seen a trailer for the movie - please do not spoil me even a little!)
- Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot (John Callahan)
- Two more seasons of Scrubs

And I was halfway done with China Mieville's Un Lun Dun when all of this arrived! Plus, in the process of hunting down fiction markets, I've become thoroughly sucked into the many, many joys of free online fiction, such as the Philippine Speculative Fiction Sampler which is currently sitting open in a tab. I am SO DOOMED. I'll see you all in April. XD

3. On the subject of books (like I need more books), WTF happened to the next Locke Lamora book? It's been available for pre-order on Amazon.com for ages, but now that we're almost to the release date ... it's gone! It can't be had! Is it just a glitch, or have they pushed back the release date? And if so, then why aren't they showing any dates at all? WHERE IS MY BOOK?!
