Katie > Status Update

Don't be concerned! It's totally normal!

And not in the sense of "we are all crazy together," just in the sense of "there are a lot of authors, and a lot of books, and I'd only worry if you forgot about a Sanderson book, in your case." :D

Edited to close quotes. Blehhh.

Ha! Well, he DOES have a tendency to put out surprise books, but that's a different case. :D

I tend to be completely oblivious to books coming out that I haven't pre-ordered. Like, sure, that sounded great when I heard about it six months ago, but remembering when it's coming out? No.

I have a system worked out so I check my not-yet-released shelf every Tuesday, so I will know when they actually come out. Remembering before then? Apparently not!

Do you do something equally magical the other six days of the week? :) (I get quite excited when GR sends the updates for authors I've read who have books coming out that month - just in case I missed something really exciting!)

Wellll, I used to go through a little of my "this-looks-interesting" shelf every Sunday, but I never quite made that a proper habit.

BUT HERE'S THE MAGIC:

I use the Daily Links Chrome extension ("Morning Coffee" on Firefox), which lets me load a bunch of pre-determined tabs all at once. So it's stuff like here and Facebook that I (in theory) read every day. But you can do different tabs on different days, so on Tuesdays I have one that loads my not-yet-released shelf, sorted by release day.

It's worked out really well for me!

(And me toooo re: the updates! Only they need to magically know which authors I now hate and don't want to see books for, ha!)

That is SO COOL, Katie. I think I need that.

DO IT. I like Daily Links a lot in general.
