coffeeem is going to make me buy a book

[dragovianknight]

This is a rare thing, because aside from marthawells, who always brings the awesome (and you should totally buy her latest Stargate: Atlantis tie-in novel, so they'll ask her to write more of them), most professionally published books just don't give me what I want to read.

However, coffeeem is currently posting a Q&A about her new book, Territory, which is due out next month in hardcover, and which I'm pre-ordering in hardcover (I never buy hardcovers because they take up room), and which I really, really want OMGRIGHTTHISSECONDYESNOWPLEASE!

And then Amazon evilly helpfully pointed out that Dragonhaven, a new Robin McKinley YA novel, is coming out in September. I've always liked her young adult stuff. Fucking Amazon.

A bit of clicking also led me to these Once Upon a Time fairytale retelling books, but I remain strong. Even against The Rose Bride, which I ought to buy for the title alone (but it says it's a retelling of "The White Bride and the Black Bride", which I have never heard of, and also, I suspect it is a romance, so doubly wary). Someday when I have money to blow just because, though, I will probably get it. Yes, just for the title. Because I'm a dork. :D

ETA: Okay, this and this I might have to check out. And this. Hmm, all on the 4-for-3 promotion, too. Naturally, The Rose Bride isn't (stupid Amazon), and also isn't listed as young adult (that would be a point in its favor, I like YA novels, shut up).

ETA2: Aha! Here is my fourth book!

I love Robin McKinley's writing. Her Beauty is one of my absolute favorite books of all time.

I absolutely adore Beauty.

I met the author in the late 80's and made certain that she signed my copy of the book. :) I've been meaning to reread it . . .

Oh, how lucky!

Yay, books! :) The new Emma Bull looks really good.

Every time she talks about it, I go "HOW MANY MORE WEEKS?" And then I whine because the answer still isn't, "It's out!"

Oh geez, this is a new level of evil even for you--pointing out books which are retelling of fairy tales. I have such a weakness for fairy-tale-retelling. (Yes, Beauty is one of my all-time favorite books too.) Crap. This is going to cost me...

Retold fairytales are a major weakness of mine. At least I pointed out the ones that were on the 4-for-3 promotion!
