ash has a new book out!!! (artemis fowl #3 delay update)
hello, novelstalgia listeners! this is nicole here with a small update. our july 1 episode for ARTEMIS FOWL: THE ETERNITY CODE will be a few days late.
i know! it's tragic! self-care comes first, though, and ashley and I haven't had time to record properly. i was away at a book conference and ash has been busy on two deadlines AND promoting her new book, out on June 27! THE SEVEN YEAR SLIP is an absolutely stunning time-travel romance. if you like hot chefs and magical apartments and the intermingling of grief and love, you should make sure to pick up a copy.
we'll be back with more artemis fowl (and ramblings about dave batista and opal koboi) as soon as we possibly can be. thank you for understanding!
