Papersky is an amazing writer. But y'all knew that.

Lis picked up an advance uncorrected proof copy of Farthing by Jo Walton, aka papersky, at the Public Library Association conference.

I just finished reading it.

I couldn't put it down. I mean, like, I was standing in front of my locker at the gym for ten minutes reading it, 'cause I started reading it when I was changing back into my street clothes.

I just finished it, and feel like I was kicked in the stomach, 'cause that's what it's like.

It's an AMAZING book. Lis said it's got "award winner" written all over it, and it probably does.

It is incredibly amazing, and I'm still so delighted I got to read it as a beta reader.

I'm quite serious when I say I'm getting it for pretty much everyone I know who isn't already getting their own copy for winter-holiday presents. (Though, erm, I'll be buying it when it comes out, because sales figures work better that way.)
