Holy First Edition!!!

Holy crap!  I was catching up on all of my favorite blogs and read an entry that piqued my curiosity.  As evidenced by previous posts, I'm a huge fan of Patrick Rothfuss and subsequently subscribe to his blog.  His latest entry was answering the question "how do I know if I have a first edition?"  After reading his answer, I was delighted ecstatic in my discovery that I actually have a first edition of his latest novel The Wise Man's Fear!!

 
Yesssss!  I can't wait to read this book...but due to its heft (993 pages) I'm afraid to start it because I know I will put the rest of my life on hold until it's finished.  I also decided to buy Rothfuss' not-for-children illustrated book The Adventures of the Princess and Mr. Whiffle: The Thing Beneath the Bed because apparently I'm mildly obsessed with the man's writing.  I will be posting my review of the latter book soonly (erm, probably tomorrow).

Yay it's March!

Woot!  It's finally March which means spring is nearer and some books that I've been highly anticipating are now on the market!

First up, the sequel to the wonderful The Name of the Wind is finally here (I've seriously been counting the days on this one):

Also, I was introduced to the delightfully fun author Sarah Addison Allen through the Southern Literature Challenge and can't wait to read her newest novel The Peach Keeper:

Can't wait to snatch these suckers up!
