Brandon Sanderson / Re: Alcatraz Versus The Scrivener's Bones cover art on amazon

Yay! New cover art to ogle. I do think the art is more edgy this time. I like it. Can't wait to get book #2 in the Alcatraz world. :)

I gotta get this one. And I can't wait for Briggs's new book, CRY WOLF. It's coming out soon!

Hi girls,
My grandpa passed away yesterday. Long, hard illness. So we are glad he isn't in pain any longer. My mom and dad already flew out to MO. I am scrambling around getting laundry done and such. I'm flying out tomorrow. Back on July 4th. I'm kind of nervous about missing so much work. But I told my boss this might be happening. And family is more important.
So, anyhow,we aren't meeting tomorrow. Right? I won't make it, either way. Just wanted to let you all know. Hopefully I can check my email often.
Thanks,
SB

My (maternal) grandfather passed away yesterday. Last year, we found out he had lung cancer. Didn't take long for it to spread. He was having a really bad time the past month. And so we are glad he doesn't have to fight the pain any longer. But it is hard, all the same. I am flying out for the funeral in MO. Gone until July 4th. Hopefully I can make myself useful, esp. to my mom. It will help me not feel so down.

I got my copies of the new MB1 and MB2 paperbacks last week. Yay! No more Ugly Vin.  :D I'll be re-reading these again now that I don't have to lug around a big hardcover book.

Hmm, I have no clue.

BUT I was miffed when Amazon.com wouldn't load earlier today. I was going to put in my order (using the nifty gift card my bros gave me for my b-day). But the site had some kind of error. Very surprising for a juggernaut like Amazon!

... (Spelling and grammatical errors really get my goat.  ....)
Wait, you have a goat!? Do they really try to eat everything like the storybooks say? Like tin cans and shoes and all that stuff? I'm guessing your goat likes to snack on pages of manuscripts with atrocious spelling and dismal grammar, right? Mmmm, tasty.

(Note: It is 2am and I have to work 9 hours tomorrow. And I sure wish I could feel sleepy. Oh, sandman, wherefore art thou?)

This hidden message is for Qarlin. I would like to propose an alliance to turn the tables on HofA and Andrew the Great. With them out of the way, I can continue with my master plan. Details coming at a later date.
If one wishes to keep things secret, one might want to match the color of the background, rather than assume that white text will be hidden. ;)

*dances* I was right! I'll be very excited if a movie actually starts production.
