Seriously, you...
DAY 4: AN ANIMAL YOU THINK IS CUTE
Seriously, you can’t get much cuter than a capybara. I got to feed ‘em and scratch their bellies at the Nagasaki Bio Park a few years ago, and yes, they are just as perfect as you’d expect.
The dignity! I think I’m more pro Quokka than pro Capybara, but mostly I’m pro Ironmouse.

Omg, what a gorgeous cover! Do you know the font used for the title? Or is it custom drawn? Very much looking forward to it!
I believe the font was hand drawn by illustrator Jen Wang—same as Shadow and Bone :)

Siege and Storm snippet (help me choose) & GIVEAWAY!
First of all, HUGE LOVE to all of you guys for making today’s cover reveal on io9 so much fun. It was wonderful to see the responses and the tweets and all the craziness. (AndI need to say a big thank you to designer Rich Deas and illustrator Jen Wang, and all of the AMAZING people at Mac Kids Books who made this cover happen.)
Also, camping out with you on twitter while we waited for the reveal? Kind of the best thing ever. Best moment was the insanity that resulted from Elena @NovelSounds posting this gif to keep the campers happy:
It may have resulted in spontaneous twitfic. I regret nothing.
Anyway, despite the fact that there was A LOT of trouble logging on to the io9 site to comment (I tried through google, twitter, and FB and failed), y’all fought the good fight and goals were surpassed.
So which Siege and Storm snippet would you like to see???
Genya
or
Sturmhond
or
the twins, Tolya and Tamar
Also, Macmillan is giving away 5 Siege and Storm ARCs + Shadow and Bone bookmarks & posters over on FB. Go on and get it!
When are you going to design a line of Tsarpunk inspired clothing? For reals, I need a wool Tsarpunk coat and fur hat!
Oooooh!! I want this. I want this so bad. But it would have to be faux fur only.
IS THAT A DRAGON I SEE ON THE TOP OF THE SIEGE & STORM I THINK THAT'S A DRAGON SHOULD I BE EXCITED
It is indeed a dragon. A very specific kind of dragon.
AND HELL YEAH YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED. (not that I’m biased.)

Oh say, the COVER OF SIEGE AND STORM
Goes live TOMORROW on io9
And when it does, I hope you guys will comment, reblog, tweet, tumble, run out of your houses and declare your feelings (good or bad) for all to hear. Put pants on first.
