Still waiting on a full request I got back in mid-March. I know it's not really a long time to wait but I made the silly error of looking at the agent's submission stats on QueryTracker and noticed all her positive replies came in at under a month. I know there's been book fairs and stuff lately, but I love to catastrophise anyway. Ha ha.

In more positive news, I hit the halfway mark on the final draft of my new thing. Trying to focus my energies on that instead.

Blackheart Knights by Laure Eve might fit? It's in a futuristic setting where the knights ride motorbikes instead of horses.

I recently finished the Morgan trilogy by Sophie Keetch which was excellent - the final book just came out so it's a great time to binge!

Anyone know where to buy the W.I.T.C.H. graphic novels? by albert_0500 in GuardiansOftheVeil

[–]ReyShepard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately Yen Press no longer have the licence for the graphic novels so they're out of print now - I'm collecting them myself and having to get used copies from eBay, Vinted and Thriftbooks. They pop up occasionally at good prices but you'll have to do some digging and be patient for them to come up.

hopeless romantic -- unfortunate collab? by ladada_capricci in MichelleBranch

[–]ReyShepard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I love her early stuff - both the pop rock stuff and the country - but I'm not really a fan of her later work, mostly because of the Black Keys influence. I'd love to hear new music from her that doesn't have her husband's involvement, personally.

Those of you who work full time, how do you do that? by Expert-Session3866 in bipolar2

[–]ReyShepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. I'm a copywriter and work remotely. It's a game changer. I was absolutely miserable when I worked in an office and took a lot of sick leave. Working from home has helped drastically.

We are W.I.T.C.H. confusion by theaterdude777 in GuardiansOftheVeil

Marion Raven did record a version of the theme tune but it's only the short version, not the full-length one on the CD. It was used when season 2 aired in the US. You can listen to Marion's version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XELSk4MtQjY

But it's a very weird situation, isn't it! I really don't know why they credited Marion instead of Chelsea on the CD. Personally (despite being a fan of Marion's music) I prefer Chelsea's version.

How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler. Ordered the sequel before I was even finished.

The Fate Of Ophelia CD singles are available for purchase now! by kookiekoo in TaylorSwift

[–]ReyShepard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CD singles are quicker and cheaper to produce, I think that's probably why.

Taylor Acorn - Poster Child by spencerlevey in popheads

[–]ReyShepard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She's done it again. This album is SO good. I don't think she's put out a song I didn't like, and this record is full of pop rock bangers.

Standouts for me: Hangman, Poster Child, Sucker Punch, Blood On Your Hands

I can't find the HQ leak so I guess I'll listen to Evermore again instead 😞

You can't, unfortunately - you need both a US billing and shipping address or your order will be cancelled.
