Topic: Gideon the Ninth - Cosplay Photoshoot

Gideon the Ninth is a fantastic book that I love love love, and got a kick out of the idea when Katelynne said we should dress as the main characters at the store on Halloween. But, why wait?

Originally my thought was to try to get the author to come to our store, but they're based in the UK and this is their debut, so it seems unlikely. I won't post every photo, just a selection - the full Imgur link is at the bottom.

It was really cool to put this together. Like a film shoot in ways - scheduling, making sure we had all the props and costumes we needed, and so forth. Great time with friends and we love the results!

Oh yeah... SO DOES THE AUTHOR.

Holy shit, I saw her tweet that but skimmed and didn't see she was talking about you. That looks AMAZING, well done.

Oh yeah, Abbie, you would be a part of Book Twitter, wouldn't you? One of the high points of this is not just the author's reaction, but replying to comments, replying to retweets, and generally finding more people in Book Twitter to follow. Such a great community I've started to be able to peek into ^_^

Many Bogoths died to bring us this information.

I feel like Bogoths were one of the groups responsible for the fall of Rome.

Nah, a Bogoth is what Lupin keeps in a cabinet to scare students.

No that's a boggart. A bogoth is when a store throws a buy one, get one sale.

No no no, Bogoth is what Owen tells his mum when she tells him to put down Pokemon and go outside and play with the other children!

Re: Gideon the Ninth - Cosplay Photoshoot

So, this book came out yesterday and I am SO EXCITED to share it with people. The first edition has sprayed black pages and is GORGEOUS. I started my re-read of it today and that is dangerous for my productivity.

If you are a dead tree format person, and are into a majority of the following checklist...

...then you should get this book. If you're feeling super generous and live in the US, you can order it from my store's website with free shipping.

Sorry to shill for it so hard. It IS my favorite book of the year (because I, like the title character, am trash) and the author is a wonderful person as well who deserves a strong debut showing of her, as she put it to me, book about bones.
