\"\"Wanderers made the semifinal round of the Goodreads Choice Award as a write-in candidate, thanks to you! I mean, I tried to design a SINISTER ALGORITHM to BOT THE VOTE, but all it did was fall in love with a Smart Toaster in Cleveland and now they’re having digital babies, so that didn’t really work out so well for me. But thankfully, all y’all were there in a pinch, and helped get it to the next round. Can we get it into the Final Round? Well, assuming no help from my SINISTER ALGORITHM, I once more rely upon you, intrepid readers<\/a>. There are also tons of wonderful books to vote for, and to read. It’s a veritable buffet of reading opportunities.<\/p>\n

If you were so inclined to also leave a review of the book at Goodreads<\/a> or Amazon<\/a>, I’d be awfully chuffed. Is that a word? Chuffed? Is it British? Does it mean something good? It sounds vaguely like “chafed,” which is definitely not what I mean. Let’s assume it means BURNISHED TO A HAPPY SHINE and go with that. Chuffed.<\/p>\n

In other\u00a0Wanderers<\/strong> news:<\/p>\n

It made Kirkus’ top sci-fi\/fantasy of the year<\/a>, alongside such estimable company as Cadwell Turnbull, Paul Krueger, Seanan McGuire.<\/p>\n

And it also landed on Engadget’s list of books to give as gifts<\/a>, which is pretty rad. Also present: the most excellent Mary Robinette Kowal, Martha Wells, Randall Munroe.<\/p>\n

I continue to be in such admirable company I am faintly certain I have died and have gone to my reward. The only evidence against this is that I probably don’t deserve such reward? Whatever, I’m here, suckers. *barricades self in this place*<\/p>\n

ANYWAY OKAY THANK YOU BYE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
