Underground Time by Delphine de Vigan....except it's a Bloomsbury title...and they have been slow in arriving, of late...

>3 jdthloue: I hope we're over the hump with Bloomsbury delays. Last I heard yesterday afternoon they had finally sorted out whatever was causing the holdups. Gah.

I won Iago. Gah! Now I'll have to re-read Othello to remember exactly what happened to him at the end!

But I do love that sort of book, so looking forward to it greatly!

Nothing this month... but I am not as disappointed as I might have been. I think
I only requested one.. since the last 4 or so times I have won a book, it has failed to arrive in a timely fashion. I am currently 2 books behind.. 2 not arrived. :( This is a recent turn of events, as for the past couple of years the books arrived promptly.

edit..

okay..sorry..
found that one of the two actually did arrive yesterday.. so now only one behind from 2 months ago.

Nothing for me again this month. Guess now that I know I can stop sitting here waiting for the comment to appear on my profile and go take care of offline stuff*G*

>4 jbd1: Gah, indeed! But, a rather small "Gah" in the scheme of things

;-)

>6 mckait:. If they were/are Bloomsbury titles...all of those have been seriously "late". ..of late. The title I am awaiting is from the September batch....try and hang in there.

I got How to Eat a Cupcake by Meg Donohue. As I'm still waiting for my Sept book, I'll bet they both come in at once. Still - should be an easy read during the holidays and if I don't finish it until after 1 Jan, I have a couple of categories in my 12-12 challenge where it will fit.

Dec 3, 2011, 1:15 am

Interestingly enough, I requested I am Half Sick of Shadows last time and didn't get it but this time I got Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, so I guess that the mighty algorithm and/or powers that be decided that I needed to read the series in order!
