Nobody ever tells me anything...

Discovered purely by chance that Library Journal reviewed FLESH AND FIRE.


VERDICT This launch of a new trilogy by the author of the Retrievers urban fantasies (Blood from Stone) achieves an extraordinary power from its elegant storytelling and unique magical philosophy. Offering one of the most original approaches to fantasy adventure; highly recommended for all fantasy fans.


Excuse me, I think I'm going to sit over here in this corner and get weepy.

{EtA: via Mam'selle Editrix and the Amazing Sarah, I am informed that it is a starred review as well]

"achieves an extraordinary power from its elegant storytelling..."

Damn, girl, but that's some gorgeous pull quotage, there.

[lagilman]

I can haz lit cred nao?

[house-draven.livejournal.com]

Niiiiice. It's good when people recognize and appreciate your hard work.

[jimhines.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I really need to read this book :-)

[evil_plotbunny]

Lovely, now I can persuade the adult department to buy it, if they haven't already. We're in a temporary space, so we've cut back drastically on ordering, but a star in LJ is a very good argument.

[lagilman]

Isn't it, though? *is pleased*

[evil_plotbunny]

Most certainly.

Grats!

You are going to be a wreck these two months till release date, aren't you..

(Memo to self, contact Terri, plan NYT bestseller list party, just in case)...

How does one, "purely by chance," discover a Library Journal review?

More importantly, how do I discover if they've reviewed my book (cuz, ya know, it's all about me).


oh yeah, nice review!

[lagilman]

You note that bn.com has two 'official' reviews up, and you only knew about one, so you take a closer look...

[dsgood.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[kateelliott.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Very gratifying, too, I am sure.

[shana.livejournal.com]

Congratulations; I've been on vacation and it will take me a while to get caught up on the journals that came in while I was gone.

But the budget came through while I was away, so I will actually be able to ORDER books for the first time since November.

[lagilman]

yay for budget! Yay for bookses! (yay for ALL bookses!)

[michael-b-lee.livejournal.com]

WOW. That's the sort of review I dream of getting; but until I jump off the tie-in merry-go-round the odds are, shall we say, slim.

Congrats! You have every right to be proud! And weepy. But proud!

[seachanges.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! Congrats!!!!

[fakefrenchie.livejournal.com]

Félicitations, Laura-Anne. You done good!

Huzzah!

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Congratulations and well-deserved! And yes, I'm blaming you and the ARC I borrowed from fireun for the fact that I had to stop by the wine shop today to pick up a bottle of red.

[lagilman]

*snicker* I so should be getting a kickback from somebody.

[g33kboi.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I'm eagerly awaiting the release of this book. :-)

[arouraleona.livejournal.com]

That IS a good review! CONGRATS! I can't wait for my copy to come in ... you've been talking about it for what feels like forever, but these teasy little reviews really make me want it NOW. :)

[handlebar605.livejournal.com]

at this rate, I feel I need to pre-order a copy, before the first printing gets sold out.

[lagilman]

hah. wouldn't that be lovely...

[mevennen.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

[lagilman]

thanks! (now all I need is for Kirkus to hate it, and I'll have the trifecta)
