Summary:

Friedrich had started to talk to him because he had thought of him as a bit of a ditz.
And now here he was. Here he was months later, bundled up in this very same man’s blankets with a cup of hot coffee in front of him, its scent mixing with that of Katte’s French perfume.

Fluffy One Shot about one traitorous Crown Prince and the sycophant he accidentally fell for.

Grrrr

Horowski's book has been pushed out another month, and now I'm skeptical of even that.

It's not like I'm short on reading material in any language, but still--grrr!

ETA: It's even worse than I thought. It's been pushed out till November 2023!! I hadn't noticed the year changed too.

It was supposed to come out next week, on the 19th, just in time for my 3-day birthday weekend, hopefully giving me time to get a good start on it!

Fie upon publisher delays!

I'm starting to understand how GRRM readers are feeling, is what I'm saying. :)

Aww. It's not an academic publisher, is it? I have never had good luck with academic publishers being on time...

Re: Grrrr

Doesn't look like it? Perhaps they are in competition with academic publishers to see who can be later.

The only silver lining here is that by the time it comes out, I might be able to read it--well, not as quickly as Selena, but more quickly than I can now! Been practicing a lot lately, and hoping to get some good practice in between now and the end of the year.
