I have a hardcover!

... and one of these days, I will have a digital camera. Even if I'm allergic to cameras.

But I have author's copies of Hidden City in my hall. I have stubbed my toes 4 times on the boxes, which is proof that they're real, the other proof being papercuts. Don't ask.

I expected them to come much later, because they're shipped from Penguin Canada now (for Canadian authors, which does save money), but I think they're shipped directly to the warehouse which just does a straight passthrough.

But it doesn't matter why they're here early -- and I am staring at the book sitting beside my computer like an adolescent in the first throes of love.

ETA: No, I am not actually reading any of it, because it hasn't been long enough since I looked at the galleys. I'm just ... staring at Jody's art & the overall design.

Just so you know, I got an email today from Amazon letting me know that since I've previously ordered books by Michelle West, I might be interested in pre-ordering Hidden City, the first book in "The House War."

Uh, yes I am. Very much so. I've been looking forward to this book for at least a year now. Hopefully I'll have enough money to pre-order it on the next paycheck.

Also, I went out and bought my third copy of The Broken Crown just last week. I keep loaning them out and never getting them back, which is why copies of Hunter's Oath and Hunter's Death aren't allowed out of my sight.

Cheers to one of my favorite writers. I eagerly await this next book.
