Well, I went “off the wagon” earlier this week, with my first full-price purchase in... several months, at least. Probably more than a year. In all fairness, it was (a) on my wish list, (b) for imminent consumption, and (c) I have a birthday coming up.

See, I’ve gotten behind on my Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant reading. I got off my butt in late September and loaded some purchased-but-unread books of hers onto my reader to make that my October theme. First up was Magic for Nothing from her InCryptid series, which I liked so much that I immediately bought Tricks for Free for later-this-month reading. Meanwhile, I read Rolling in the Deep and am 30% finished with its sequel, Into the Drowning Deep - both horror stories about deep-sea-dwelling mermaids. (“Drowning” gets extra cool points for being stealth climate fiction. I wasn’t expecting that, but it makes total sense and is uncomfortably relevant. It also makes one heck of a plot driver.) Still upcoming are the second and third of her “Wayward Children” novellas, and I’ll most likely tackle Tricks for Free after those.

If I still have time in October, I may crack into her “October Daye” series.
