WTF, weather, WTF?





For those who forgot or never knew, here is a handy reference guide. Note: a caption does not weigh 100 grams, so take this with a grain of salt.

Also, Karin Lowachee MARRY ME PLEASE a.k.a. "interrogating masculinity in science fiction" (I would add "in military science fiction"), is putting out a new book called The Gaslight Dogs. Her previous three books have put Lowachee firmly on my "read first, ask questions later" list. Apparently Scalzi has flagged her, so maybe this series will fare better. I am still holding hope for the Warchild books to continue someday.

Oh man, now you got me all hyped and I went to check out her first book and the only copy at the depository is like 22$ D: I FEEL THWARTED AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. I now want that book like BURNING.

Ugh, it's probably because it's not popular enough! It is a vicious cycle. You should definitely read them though, they are right up your alley. I will do a squee post when I have the time.

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RIGHT UP MY ALLEY YES D: And yet I can't spend that much on a single book right now :(

Do you have a copy I could borrow perhaps? Theoretically at least, were we to meet in the foreseeable future? PRESUMPTUOUS BOOK HUNRY MARINA IS PRESUMPTUOUS.

I have a copy, and if we meet in Olamot I can lend it to you there.

[marina]

Oooh you're coming to Olamot? I didn't know that! If you're going to be there we should ABSOLUTELY meet, regardless of the book (THOUGH I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE BOOK!).

Do you know when you're going to be there? *is excited*

Hopefully! I'm trying to talk my brother into it.
