Book Watch -- Books I'm waiting for

(in case you're interested too...)

Merry Gentry

A Stroke of Midnight, the next book in the Merry Gentry series, is out! You can read the first two chapters of the book, and see its cover, here. No sign currently of the next book, sadly.

Terre D'Ange

The first book of the Imriel Trilogy, Kushiel's Scion, is done and should be hitting the shelves sometime around June 2006. It's so far away! Meanwhile, Carey is hard at work on the second book. Yay, more Terre D'Ange goodness!
And, you can read a synopsis of the first book here.

Harry Potter

I'm sure you've all already heard this, but Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is being released July 16th. Perfect --- I'll have MORE than enough time to finish the new Merry Gentry book before the new Harry Potter shows up!

A Song of Ice and Fire

A Feast for Crows, the next book in the series, is slated to come out on November 8! You can read a sample of it here.

The Tale of Five

This fabulous, poly, queer fantasy series by Diane Duane has been one book short for far too long. Unfortunately... there is no word on when it will be coming out. Well, actually, the website says it will be coming out in 2004, but obviously that isn't true.

I think that's all of the series I am waiting on. What are you waiting for?

How did you decide what you wanted to be "when you grew up?"

Travelling to or from Toronto

JetsGo has a HUGE sale on anything flying out of Toronto, if you purchase before the 19th.

$20.05 for the leg flying out of Toronto

It's only valid, though, if you are flying to one of their locations. Locations worth noting:
NYC
Quebec City
Montreal
Las Vegas
Los Angeles
Vancouver
Florida (several locations)
Sydney (?!)

If you would like to rendez-vous with me in any of these locations, or come visit me from one of these locations, please contact me asap so we can make the purchases before the sale ends.

Las Vegas

My mother is going to Las Vegas for a Jewish Genealogical conference in July (10th-15th). I'm considering joining her for the trip itself, if anyone thinks they could join me for even some of that time. While gambling and drinking is fun, my main interest would be socializing, shows, and wandering around the crazy hotels they have there. And shopping. And tasty food. Anyone interested?
