And if you’ve come here because you were there and you’re like, “Double-dipping–what’s the point?” I’ve got a cookie for you.  There are currently 94 days (94!) until the release of Nice and Mean.  So I’m going to give you a little glimpse of what happens on p. 94 (::opening advance copy and hoping it doesn’t contain a major spoiler::)

(And now I really need to post something not about Nice and Mean.  I’m making myself Nice and Sick.)
