Have ye been buckling ye swash, me maties? I totally have. Cuz Auntie Heather loves her some pirates.
In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day, I wanted to remind you Minions that you need to pre-order an incredible new book (due out February 1, 2009) by A.S. King (and if you can’t pre-order it, then get your booty to the bookstore and demand a copy come February). The book is called THE DUST OF 100 DOGS and trust me, Minions, it is FABULOUS. I loved it so much that I gave A.S. a blurb and from what I hear, at least apart of my blurb will be featured on the cover! WOOT! Anyhoo, here’s the book:
And here’s what I and other fabulous people have said about it:
“Exciting, fascinating, spellbinding. A rich tale of a girl born with a compass firmly planted in her hand. A.S. King is a force to be reckoned with. I’d follow Saffron into the briny deep.”
~Heather Brewer, author of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod
“The Dust of 100 Dogs is a non-traditional pirate tale with a dangerously raw, mystical edge and a unique modern twist that will make you cringe, despair, despise and adore. Deliciously fresh and starkly unforgettable… for at least the next three hundred years.”
~Lisa McMann, NYT bestselling author of Wake
“This is a quirky, mystical, exuberant, dangerous story about pirates, dogs, family, and what it really means to break free. It’s about the true meaning of success and failure. Raw, tangible and brilliant, A.S. King creates a story that’s more than memorable. Like the 300-year-old curse that has befallen Emer, this book lasts and it makes an impression. I adored it.”
~Carrie Jones, author of Tips on Having a Gay (ex) Boyfriend, Love (and Other Uses for Duct Tape), and Girl, Hero
“Sparkling original, A.S. King’s The Dust of 100 Dogs features an intrepid heroine who is both swashbuckling and contemporary. This gripping adventure, wall to wall with assured storytelling, is sure to be devoured by both teens and adults.”
~Lauren Baratz-Logsted, author of Angel’s Choice

Sorry, Anon – can’t pre-order TGB just yet, but the moment you can, I’ll blog about it, so stay tuned!
K8 – maybe I’m a nerd, but that’s never stopped me from buying more books.
Awwww! Vlad loves you too, Al! But…there is a world of fangtastic books out there to check out, and I know Vlad hopes that you’ll continue to do so.
Sounds pretty interesting. I’ll definitely have to check it out….although I am running out of money from buying so many books…Are there any other books that you recommend that I could read to pass the time meanwhile? (besides yours of course) Love you, your books, and Vlad

I might get it from the library, right now I’m saving for something HUGE (over one grand huge) and don’t plan on spending my moolah lightly.
Now that you’ve had your daily dose of RJ’s rambling,
It looks pretty good, the author’s name looks kind of like a pun on “asking” though it could be just me…
