TGIF, my doves! This Friday is especially awesome because tonight Mr. Jaye and I have a date. Not just any old dinner-and-a-movie date, either–a cooking class date! My sweet husband signed us up to learn how to make tapas. Then we're going to go meet some friends for the Chinese New Year celebration in downtown Dallas. Fun, right?

You know what else is fun? Quizes and awesome reviews.

1. Over at Orbit's blog, my delightful UK editor has posted a fun quiz about Kick-Ass Urban Fantasy heroines. I think it will make the perfect Friday doldrums diversion for you. Find it here.

2. Yesterday, I received what is probably the best review of my work to date. Seriously.

This was very close to being a perfect novel: relentless pacing, impressively thick storyline, extraordinary characters and character development, and outstanding realm building with a healthy dose of irreverence and an undeniably profound existential undertone to it all. I loved this book – Silver-Tongued Devil was an author at the very top of her game writing a novel in a series on the verge of greatness. –Paul Goat Allen of BN.com on SILVER-TONGUED DEVIL

I don't know about you guys, but I can't think of a better way to wrap up a week. Happy reading!
