I must check my amazon account. I don't *think* I've already bought it on pre-order.....
NN says on her lj that her publishers are working on not having such an enormous gap between publishing dates for her future works. However, I also have the dilemna that the covers are supposed to be so much better on the US editions... will I end up replacing all my books 1 - 3 to match....? NO! Down! Bad Rustica! :)
I admire your self restraint in letting Creatrix read it first! :) Or did she beat you to the post, and now refuses to tell you where it is hidden?
*shudders* I haven't dared watch the films so I have only the vaguest understanding of what they are about, and even that is *way* too much for me. That nice gentleman, he was in Shadowlands, you know.... *runs away and hides*
Ooh - Bill Bryson?
I have a nice[1] book on the go at the moment. I should write a review about it. Except I haven't finished it yet, but still...

Those who know my approach to ickiness will be very surprised to hear that I like the Hannibal Lecter novels. But I do.

Why do you like the Hannibal Lecter novels, purely out of curiosity?
