You guys are obviously where the party is. <br /><br />Thanks for the review (as always). I remember thinking that this one looked interesting... so your recommendation is all I need to pick it up. ;)<br /><br />Well, that and enough time to get out to a bookstore...Raethehttp://melody.byethost8.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-44067929666966336352009-10-22T13:49:52.505-06:002009-10-22T13:49:52.505-06:00That and telling your German editor that I "u...That and telling your German editor that I "used to be important."<br /><br />Jerk.Steve the Bookstore Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237292117795968540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-47705110927278974672009-10-22T13:25:48.971-06:002009-10-22T13:25:48.971-06:00Watching Gail tear Nick a new one, almost the inst...Watching Gail tear Nick a new one, almost the instant she met him, was definitely one of the highlights of that convention.

Then, of course, we realized that she was awesome, and she (later) realized we were awesome as well.Steve the Bookstore Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237292117795968540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-25349932861862377522009-10-20T09:50:44.588-06:002009-10-20T09:50:44.588-06:00I was a little bit to fast when I made the comment...I was a little bit to fast when I made the comment about Novik, I forgot to log inn and therefore is came out anonymous. <br />Lucky you who get to meet al these amazing authors! Being a genius is obviously very smart (ha!)<br />Yesterday I started reading “The Edge of Reason” by Melinda Snodgrass, haven’t got that far jet, but it is really promising. Maybe something for you list?Dragenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17991315989090495839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-53240478698874149132009-10-20T09:21:56.710-06:002009-10-20T09:21:56.710-06:00Well, from my view, there are certain females that...Well, from my view, there are certain females that have absolutely no interest in many of the novels we have read and recommended. And they emailed us as an angry mob...OK not really, but they did email us asking for some novels that are essentially aimed at the female demographic. I totally get it. <br /><br />Luckily, Nick and I had a few novels on the list that fit this bill. Gail's was one of them, though it turned out to be enjoyable (in our opinions) to everyone. A great find, I think.<br /><br />Essentially, Books for Chicks is what I would consider books that are marketed specifically for females. Doesn't mean those particular females won't like other novels (like yourself and a bajillion others), we are just giving some variety to the lovely reading ladies.<br /><br />As a bi-product of this, I've become interested in finding the novels that the guys think "Oh, this is totally only for chicks" that they may really enjoy. Gail's novel certainly fits here, and I think we are going to find a ton more.<br /><br />As for Novik? I think she is one of the nicest authors I have met. We really should get around to reviewing her latest...so many books, so little time...Steve the Bookstore Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237292117795968540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-38374003613165177712009-10-20T07:31:47.767-06:002009-10-20T07:31:47.767-06:00Sounds fantastic, as a tea junkie I understands I ...Sounds fantastic, as a tea junkie I understands I need to by this book, it’s being added to my amazon.uk.co basket right now (multitasking) <br /><br />When you say you are looking for "Books for Chicks" by female authors, do you mean books for women, if you do, I am considering being insulted, I love Lynch, Erikson, Abercrombie and Martin! Or do you mean teenage girls? <br />If I am not being insulted here I’d like to tell you that I have a seventeen year old niece who loves Maria V. Snyder and Mercedes Lackeys Five Hundred Kingdoms books. <br />I know, I know, when I found out I got hear started on David Eddings Belgariad, which she also love - naturally. <br />And what about Naomi Noviks Temeraire books and Lynn Flewellings Bone Doll's Twin trilogy?<br /><br />I am not stupid, though obviously not a genius like you guys. You clearly know about all of these books already, but I am not the one who mention you searching "Books for Chicks"<br />:-PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
