huh . . . upgrades

So you know how sometimes Amazon gets a wrong piece of information into its book database? The wrong format, or release date, or cover copy, or whatever.

That didn't happen here.

With Fate Conspire really is going to be a hardcover.

It's kind of awesome to get that news right after I posted about the celebration of my five-year anniversary of Realio Trulio Being a Novelist. :-) And it prodded me to stop waffling over the lovely, lovely icons you guys made for me and finally pick one, with victory going at last to [livejournal.com profile] airo25. (This was a hard decision, y'all. So props to everybody else who made me an icon, too.) [livejournal.com profile] airo25, e-mail me your address at marie [dot] brennan [at] gmail [dot] com, and I'll make a note to send you an ARC of Fate when they come in.

My first hardcover. Maybe I can use that to stave off the tedium of the page proofs, which arrived yesterday. :-) Whee!!!!!

Wow! Congratulations on your numbers pulling you up into hardcover!

(A little bit of me is saying, "But but but... now it won't match the rest of my set!" But I'm OCD that way.)

Congratulations. Does this presage anything about hardcover editions of the other books in the series?

Hurray!

YES! I've found since I've become an ebook fiend that hardcovers mean more to me than they used to.
