saturday link salad

Well there are a few hours left to Saturday still (its a long weekend out here folks, the siren song of the backyard and walks through the park beckoned!) so let me get to this weeks list of linkable links.

-This was the week of the alternate paperback cover reveal.  Both Ally Condie and Lauren Oliver gave sneak peeks of their forthcoming paperback changes.  I'm not crazy about the crossed one, but delirium's isn't bad.  I think ultimately I prefer the hardcovers to both though so fingers crossed they don't change them all going forward.

-Speaking of Lauren Oliver, the other big piece of news is that the summary for Pandemonium has been released on Goodreads.  According to Lauren, it created a bit of a brouhaha  (honestly, the only place I heard about it was her so maybe it was more of an angry email frenzy to her).  Anywho, she has a few words for those who are surprised where this series may be going.

- The second book of the Beyonders Series by Brandon Mull had a cover and title reveal  on facebook this week.  It's called The Seeds of Rebellion. I'm a bit mystified by the pictures so far.  Is that the Blind King?

-Holly Black has released the playlist she used while writing Black Heart on 8tracks.  You can listen without downloading anything which is really nice.  It's like a mix tape from Holly, and who doesn't want a mix tape from Holly?  I've listened to about half of it, and so far it's a pretty fun mix.

-Finally, my apologies about the lack of Feline Fridays, I was in the throws of organizing a slightly complicated event for Annex Cat Rescue this week and it ate up most of my free time Friday.  So if you're in Toronto tomorrow make sure to stop at 97 Maitland St, just off the Pride Parade route and check out Annex's table of goodies.  The kitties will thank you for it!

Happy Saturday, and for those of you in Canada, Happy Long Weekend!!
