Greedy Guts says
actually, it’s “bated”, as in abated
just sayin’
stupid pet peeve. sorry.
Patsy Tisdale says
Spelling it that way kind of ruins the pun. Baited, as in fishing.
Mieke says
you have got to be trolling….who would spellcheck a pun? Bless your heart.
jewelwing says
She is absolutely correct. It’s not trolling if it’s objectively correct. Yes, we are grammar geeks. It’s not our fault if people can’t keep their homonyms straight.
Shannon from Texas says
Heh. I had a friend in college 30 years ago who used to say that. Thanks for the chuckle 😀
Henry says
Some one dropped the card deck. And there are 3,000 cards in the run.

You’re dating yourself. That was a bit before my time, but I’ve heard the stories. Definitely glad it was before my time.

I’m going to have to wait until tomorrow as it’s 10pm over here in England – sniffle…
Simon Lyon says
Also in England. I’m staying up until it appears – have to get my Innkeeper hit or I won’t be able to sleep!
Jazzy says
Yeah, but it will also be faster because you’ll be asleep!
Simon Lyon says
I’d just toss and turn for an hour and then get up and hit refresh again 😉
Missing out last week, I’m jonesing!
Kimmelane says
Oooh, this reminds me of waiting for Santa Claus when I was 5 and tomorrow took forever to arrive!
Lissa W says
Ditto. Early start needed tomorrow. Miniatura at NEC in Birmingham, so can’t wait up.?

I’m treating my addiction by re-reading the Alex and Fran Healy Incryptid short stories. If you haven’t read them then know they make up an epic novel when put together.
Simon Lyon says
Sorry should have mentioned they’re not Illona – they’re Seanan McGuire. But if you like Illona you’ll definitely like Incryptid!
Natalie says
Squealing and running in circles internally!!!!

Thank goodness – I’m so excited that I’m dancing in my seat. Can’t wait to purchase and read. Thank you for making the past few weekends exciting for me. Those weekly installments helped in ways you wouldn’t believe. I love you guys.
Kimmelane says
^ this. What RCarey said. It is so wonderful to have something exciting to look forward to each week. Thanks. You two brighten my life.
Charlottemousse says
There really is something to be said for savoring each installment each week. I go through books pretty quickly, and this forces me to slow down and enjoy it a bit more. It’s really nice. Except the waiting part. 🙂
Jackie says
*Jeopardy theme playing on repeat*
Scott says
Innkeeper is almost here ….I totally feel like that kid in the old Disney commercial. “I’m too excited to sleep” (or do anything else for that matter.
Josie Berg says
I’m like an addict, starting to get the jitters, need my Arland & Maud fix.
Joanne says
It’s worse knowing that the next installment is at the proofreaders!!! I obsess less if I check the blog and it’s just not there yet. Omgomgomgomg…
Joanne says

Sleepy says

Susan says
Awesome!
Oona Pilot says
I hope we get it tonight and not tomorrow! 2 wks wout my Maud day fix…and my sanity is slipping away…
Wrayth says
looking at the times on the comments – going, “oh, it’s only 4-5pm, that’s a big jump to now” (it’s almost 11.30pm here) “it’ll be out any second now…”
…then seeing the english location comment…and D’OH! >_<
XD
Susan McGillicuddy says
Thank you for all of the installments. I know it is a lot of pressure. It is because we love your work so much that we (OMG, I CANT WAIT!) are impatient. We know you both have so much on your plate and are thankful that you were able to get back to it! (I LOVE INNKEEPER!)
Joy says
Ok where is the Happy hour with Innkeeper drinks, then the Support group and finally Book club, for those of us of the BDH? I know the BDH posted this before, i think on days like this we really need that list of things to do while we wait.
Jackie says
I want to join THIS book club
Oona Pilot says
So where can I go for my side krahr, Bloody Maud, tachi twist and nuan Cee tini?!!!! And associated eats? ?
Annemarie says
Try to get some work done here (updating teachers of the tutoring success), somehow this refresh button always is in the way …
Annemarie says
By the way this is Germany and March 24, 0.40 am 😉
Kasia says
Poland, 1.25 am
refresh?
Penny says
The innkeeper is a highlight of my week. I’m joining the ladies in “refresh “ game
Kathryn Townsend says
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m okay with typose. REally! I am. I consider them a sign of humanness. 🙂
I drag myself through the week waiting for Friday and Innkeeper. It’s my reward for working each week at a soul sucking job.
As a kid I never understood why books were serialized back in the day – like, why would anyone read Charles Dickens serially. Why not just wait for the book to come out and read it all at once?
Well, now I get it. And I thank the Author Lords for their (mostly) weekly gift to the BDH.
Helenmary Cody says
A fun fact from Vanity Fair about the upcoming royal wedding to tide us all over. It seems that Maud gets around:
Kensington Palace

@KensingtonRoyal
Replying to @KensingtonRoyal
Lottie Small, who recently completed her apprenticeship, printed all of the invitations in a process known as die stamping, on a machine from the 1930s that she affectionately nicknamed Maude. pic.twitter.com/kWs2RFx7nN

Eight days ago told contractor to not work on back door especially doggie door. Doggie door let in skunks raccoons and once a big duck. He said no problem and did it anyway. It rained for 6 days. Haven’t seen the contractor. Door is off hinges. Duck got in doggie door and using barricades at night for security. Typos no problem. Sigh. Friday pls.

D-lm-A says
Me grown, Me strong, Me not stress, Me wait, o k yeah, not quite! But me no wait
4 Happy Happy . . .
I’m a week ahead on BUS 450 and the prof. is getting tired of my emails, I can tell
Had a projected foot and a half snow storm blow through the Delaware Valley in an old school
Pre-Easter, March roaring in like Curran in a snit; so I shoveled, my front and the neighbor (both sides)
that got me through Thursday,
Friday I spring cleaned, cause the cats are shedding like I took an electric shaver to them,
ceiling fans, heat vents, inside closets, completely rearranged the front room, swept, vacumned,
mopped, and oiled the floors.
Got up this morning and went to Pier 70 and you know they didn’t have half of my shopping list.
Fed the cats, made breakfast, played a game (died 14 times) then I checked. YES! ! ! ! Ha! Ha!
ha ha ha . . . cause Me no Stress, Me strong, me wait 4 happy happy
And now I can dance around, with a smile, nothing can bother me . . . as I try to stretch my wait to read this till
Tuesday. Wednesday I have an appointment, Thursday is Career Development Center. Wait, wait who has
time to wait
Annemarie says
YESSS! It`s here!
