I am as usual in the midst of a bout of choice paralysis. So: I turn to you using a poll with the options:
- Jon Sprunk’s Shadow’s Son
- David Anthony Durham’s The War with the Mein
- Scott Lynch’s The Lies of Locke Lamora
- Gene Wolfe’s The Shadow of the Torturer
Or write-in via a comment here, or re-blog, or on Twitter or Facebook. I’m always up for suggestions!

Another peek overseas at Audible UK and the digital divide
Posted on 2012-04-09 at 15:46 by Sam
Early last month, I wrote a bit about the regional digital divide, which sees Audible UK members having some excellent sf/f titles which Audible US members don’t have access to, from Songs of the Earth, to The Scar: New Crobuzon, Book 2 and Iron Council: New Crobuzon, Book 3 By Rivers of London and Moon Over Soho By Blue Remembered Earth By

It’s official ladies and gents, Princeless is an Eisner nominee! Not only that, we’re nominated in two different categories: Best Single Issue and Best Publication for Kids (8-12).
Honestly, I had hoped for the best, but just getting nominated for an Eisner was beyond my wildest expectations.
Congrats and well-deserved, Whitley and Goodwin. So excited for you guys; my kids both love this comic.
