BOOK CHECK-IN
Where do we stand on the June book?
Hey Tom & Veronica!
I just found out about you guys, and Geek & Sundry, in general. I'm super stoked: to hear Gaimen and Dick being thrown out there brings warm fuzzies to my book-lovin' heart. I enjoy what (be it your personality and literary smarts) and who (the authors!) your bring to the table. Can't wait for the next installment.
As for a dragon name, how about "Gelf"?
A gelf can be a elven creature (sword); a genetically enhanced life form (laser); or can be anything you want it to be (in our line of business, imagination is everything). See Urban Dictionary for more details. A-a-a-nd, for bonus points, it was a Gelfling that merged the Skexis and urRu into one awesome whole- just like you guys have have brought the sword and laser communities together and the yet-to-be-named dragon seems to be half traditional dragon and half... MechaGodzilla. =)
Anyway, you rock.
Sincerely,
Aaron

Solve this puzzle for a secret look at Mira Grant’s BLACKOUT
Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 12:01PM
Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 12:01PM Yesterday, io9 published an excerpt of Mira Grant's Blackout, the final book in her Newsflesh trilogy. Today, an intrepid Newsie hacked into the CDC computer system and liberated another file. For this one, though, you'll have to do a little digging...
Below is a puzzle whose answer reveals one of the five codes you'll need to access the second, top-secret document.
Rumor has it that you should be hanging around these other blogs to gather the other four:
Rose-Owls and Pumpkin Girls (The Journal of Seanan McGuire)
Once you've gathered all five codes, you can access the encrypted document at the Orbit Books site. WARNING: Massive spoilers for Feed and Deadline ahead!
Blackout will be available May 22nd.
Let us know where you would hole up during a zombie apocalypse in the comments below, and you will be entered to win the Newsflesh triology (Feed, Deadline, Blackout)! Open to participants in the US, Canada, and the UK. Winner will be randomly selected on May 2nd!
