Went to an absolutely delightful coffee shop today. It was a book/coffee shop & it just so happens that the guy who runs it is a huge sci-fi/fantasy nerd and had been a lifelong collector of comic books, and was trying to get rid of tons. I am now proud owner of a bunch of them. Also the food was superb, the tea he sold there was delicious and the cake was divine. It is now my new favourite place in the whole world, and I am definitely going back because all the books are on sale, and the price for the food/drink is exceptionally good!

I know, it seems like I am writing a review, but I was so impressed by the place! If anyone is in Cardiff let me know and I'll let you know where it is!

I just passed my driving test! At the tender age of 31. Finally!

Time for a celebratory cup of tea and to enjoy the rest of the morning off work.

life, the universe and everything.
besides, just got at least one role playing sessions confirmed over xmas hollies when i'm back home and looks like there's gonna be another one in february when I go back for my daddy's birthday, because our Dungeon Master is travelling back too due to some appointment, which is a weird and wonderfully practical coincidence and an opportunity to get together once more!
Why this makes me so extraordinarily happy: we are six people in different kinds of jobs and relationships over three countries- not easy to find dates anymore but we all cling on to these precious few moments where we sit down (more so than ever, I think!), warm roll our dice, get the character sheets out, remember the last session (it's dire, we are in some kind of a dungeon with demons as guardians, time's against us, we are all half dead- the story of our party's life). I'm gonna get up a level in the next session too, awesome. It's been ten years in the current constellation, the core has been together for 20 years. Loving it!

but are they worth preserving?

Happy for my editor friend, who got a testimonial quote from Brandon Sanderson: "Olivia did a fantastic job fixing up the ebooks for the Mistborn trilogy in the UK. She even noticed a few minor continuity errors that we hadn't caught in any other edition. I'm very pleased that all of my readers will be able to benefit from her work. It's a shame that readers can't truly appreciate the work that copyeditors and proofreaders do, because when they do a perfect job like Olivia did, readers won't notice a thing. All they'll see is the story itself, and that's the best thing a writer can hope to ask for." Brandon Sanderson.

It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.

Was talking to some squatters today and their pretentious, hypocritical, zealous BS made me laugh. Not in their faces of course as I was speaking to them in a professional context, but really they are ridiculous...

This Post from the thread in Other Literature related to The Cold Commands:

Wow! Some really cool speculation here - warms my heart to see the text dragging people this deep.

Special thanks to Abyss for vast chapter and verse enthusiasm; also to Pig Iron for letting it "click" and simply enjoying - would that a lot more fantasy readers were equipped to do exactly that! Oh, and amphibian - in partial answer to some of your speculation - you might want to wonder about Dark Lady Firfirdar...........

Cheers guys

Yes, richard m is Richard Morgan, the author in question.
Now if only we could get Sanderson back on the board regularly again as well we'd be laughing.....

I think he went over to Reddit. Bigger audience there - even if Abyss, QuickTidal, Stone Monkey and the others apparently buy 854390 books a year.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

Actually it probably had more to do with someone badmouthing his first book on here. I think it was Gothos

and hey, I buy more books than that.....

I just bought a hardcover copy of Toll the Hounds for $5. I really want to read it - considering ignoring Reaper's Gale completely and just accepting anything that doesn't make sense.

It's that or never finish the series. Reaper's Gale is less entertaining/interesting than listening to my friend talk about her newborn's bowel motion for the fourth time in ten minutes.
