I was tempted and almost made that impulse buy as well. The subject matter is in my wheelhouse as well.

Just got the Lividian advance notice email for next week's book and placed my order!  Have never read the author; so, this was a pure impulse buy, but the description sounds right up my alley, and I trust both Lividian's taste as well as the author whose blurb was mentioned in the email. Can't wait until September rolls around to see this one!

Just saw the recent email from Lividian. So exciting! Anyone have any guesses as to next week's book? My guess is Michael O'Donnell's "Above the Fire". I'm also very intrigued by the unannounced Robert McCammon LE that may be announced this fall. I will explode with happiness if it ends up being Speak the Nightbird, but I can't imagine the ownership rights have been untangled yet. If it isn't Speaks, I really hope that it's one of his others that hasn't gotten the LE treatment yet such as Mine or Mystery Walk.

I don't think it's a huge surprise to share that I would love to publish a matching edition of Speaks the Nightbird if McCammon's agent is able to untangle a very messy rights situation... Fingers crossed...

If you're a member of Brian James Freeman's Patreon, you'll already know both of those titles! ;-)

 Seriously, everyone should be a Patron of his.

Looking forward to my ARC and limited. Very glad I managed to find the budget to upgrade my BJF patreon to silver. Its nice to not have to worry about ordering new titles.

Looks like a nice sell-out for Lividian with their edition of Horns. Congrats to everyone who snagged a copy and congrats to the publisher as well. It is a stylish book.

On fire! Woot.

Thank you! I'm down to my last 150 copies, which is a little ahead of what I expected. We'll see what happens with the rest of the day.

Woohoo! It is a fantastic looking edition of this novel.

Hope it sells out quickly.

Child Alone With Strangers limited and review copy came today. Should I open the review copy or leave it sealed?

I'd open it simply because I hate shrinkwrap. As long as it's unread, I can't imagine the shrinkwrap increasing the value.

Child Alone With Strangers limited and review copy came today. Should I open the review copy or leave it sealed?

Am jealous! My copy isn't scheduled to arrive until Monday. Personally, I'd leave the ARC sealed and just stick to reading the limited (or trade copy if you have one). If you ever decide to sell the limited that ARC might help you move it at a higher price or might differentiate your copy from others being sold. Or, if you don't see yourself ever getting rid of the book, crack that puppy open and enjoy!
