I am racing the library hold system with the NZ release date for the paperback of the new Tortall book.

(I am currently 30 of 32 holds, although I can see more copies have been ordered. The book is due for retail on, I believe, April 4th. Excitement!)

Also, was I the last to know that Naomi Novik has written a manga series? I swear I've seen NO mention of it anywhere, and I'm not sure whether my flist has failed me or if there's just been no buzz.

(I've pre-ordered it. Alan regularly goes through "Previews", the monthly cataloge put out by comic book publishers of everything they're doing. We went past all the superhero stuff and the horror stuff and got to the manga and then I squealed a lot and stole the pen from his hand to add the first volume to his order list.)

ETA: I also decided to try this "Hunger Games" trilogy, and I'm 241 of 241 holds for the first volume in the series. *facepalm* Anyone who's read it: is it worth me going and buying a copy?

Ah yes, I love interloan. I just picked up The Lost Revolution: The Story of the Official IRA and the Workers' Party of Ireland. Mmm, history books about a socialist party from a foreign country. I know how to have a good time.
