Just wanted you guys to know that I received confirmation today that I'll have a few copies of the Transworld edition up for grabs for a giveaway. Expect the announcement in early June. . .

Are you close to writing your review?

I'm eager to hear it, I look forward to seeing if it matches the gist of mine.

Why? You could contact them by email to ask for phone details. There is no number on their website that I can glimpse.

Still 40 pages to go, so I'll try to write my review on Wednesday since I have the day off. . .

Folks, I just finished it. . .

And let me tell you that Ian Cameron Esslemont is for real! Though his prose could use some work and the dialogues are not always up to par, in terms of storylines RotCG stands very well on its own and is a worthy addition to the Malazan canon!

Expect my non-spoiler review in the near future!

Many thanks for your letter -- unfortunately, the office will be closed from Saturday 17 May until Sunday 25 May. Please note that all orders will be processed in strict order of their arrival over the week commencing 26 May -- we should be caught up again as we roll over into June.

Best wishes

Swears repeatedly... now there's a chance it's going to arrive during my exams instead of after them, and I very much doubt my ability to not read it if it arrives.

Sigh... it is now inevitable that ICE is going to be responsible for failing my degree. I'm really hoping that they got all the books sent out by friday, but I'm doubtful.

And breath!

I'm waiting till Cult gets his and then stealing it - it has to go through double the number of transport phases as the rest of you, so be glad

A person knocked on the door yesterday. I wasn't expecting anybody. I opened up the door to see.......the mailman. I looked in his arms, and much to my surprise, there was....a package.

My blood started pounding. Could this be it?

It was! And oh, it is so very beautiful. A wonderful time suck to make me forget about my divorce.

I'm in Stockholm and I haven't received mine yet. Then again I never seem to receive it that quick. Guess we have to be patient =( I HATE being patient, especially now that I haven't got anything really exciting to read.

It's two and a half months last time I checked, plus the pages and appearance go someway towards compensating the 150 dollars.

Isn't Return coming out in late June?

And that was just my annoyance and anticipation speaking, pay it no mind.
