...Wow. It's been awhile, eh? I have good reasons that I shall not bore you with. I do come with news, if you can call it that. Tuesday this lovely book was released.
Take a moment to admire the twins right up close and personal-like. Oooh. Ahhh. I gather the general consensus, at least a week or two ago, was that this was the re-released books smooshed together. Not true, my friends. These are the original stories. Jessica sweet talks Liz into the use of her tuxedo get-up, Enid and George hit a kid in his GTO, and there's plenty of PBA to go around.
This edition is also larger than your average SVH book, and we don't mean thickness. So it's going to stick out on your shelf. I know some people don't like that, so I figured fair warning and all. Also, working against it? It seriously looks like someone went back and Xeroxed originals and then bound them together. The cover blurb took more time. Since the book is larger than your average SVH novel, there are now margins to doodle in, on all sides. It's a bit strange to see, actually.
But I'm a completist by nature, so I had to buy it. I'm not sure I would recommend that you pay full price for it, but since I was facing a s/h charge that was about this much for something else, and this bumped me into freebie territory? Everyone won. There is, btw, no blurb for Power Play, leaving me to wonder are they releasing the next bit or is this a one shot?
Next week, SVC. Can you handle the destruction of your childhood memories by the very person responsible for bringing them to the page initially? I still haven't recovered from the preview, personally. And the audio preview didn't help much either.
