I’ll be taking over the World Wide Wednesday column so Amanda can concentrate on her blog and several other gigs that she’s juggling. (Actually, we are pretty sure that she has one or two clones she uses – Kat read about this in a Jack Vance story, so she knows it’s true. One of Amanda’s clones will still be guest reviewing for us occasionally, unless it runs out of batteries.)
Unfortunately, none of the rest of us gets out as much as Amanda does… we’re all introverts. We just kind of sit here with our noses in our books. Sometimes we look up and make snarky comments about what we’re reading. That’s about it. But I’m going to try to extend myself and glance out the window occasionally. Last time I did that I noticed a few interesting things:
- You can vote for best cover art in 2010 over at All Things Urban Fantasy. And win a book!
- John Ottinger asked several bloggers which SFF author they’d like to meet and why. Read our answers and contribute your own at Grasping for the Wind.
- Don’t forget to vote in our “Anticipate our Best of 2010 List” contest from last week. Ruth’s giving away a book to the winner.
If you’ve got anything interesting to report, please do so (with appropriate link) in the comments below. The Most Interesting SFF News Item (as judged by a formal unbiased elected committee consisting of me) wins the commenter a book from our teetering stacks (if s/he lives in the US, that is).
Introverts… what a bunch of geeks… hey, wait, you’re talking about us!
LOL!!!
Hey, who you callin’ an introverted geek? ;)
*crashes into telephone pole while trying to read and walk at the same time*
huh? Did somebody say something?
I think this is great. It means I’ll have more time to read :D
Thanks for taking over. I was missing all the cool links last week. I know it’s a lot of work, but it was great to find things I’d have missed out on since I don’t spend a lot of time surfing.
