Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving tonight, before heading into that weird sales holiday of Black Friday to Cyber Monday. Here in Malaysia, we're equal-opportunity celebrationists (celebrants? holidayers? people who celebrate stuff), which usually means that we'll celebrate ANYTHING that gives us time off, has great food, and/or comes with discounts.
(Side note: this year's big holiday kerfuffle was WHY IS HALLOWEEN TAKING OVER DEEPAVALI? Where is our CULTURE?)
(Other side note: The malls are now in Christmas mode, but smaller retail shops/markets are prepping for Chinese New Year...)
If you're one of those celebrating, happy Thanksgiving! I hope the year has been good to you, and the next year will be too.
If you're not, happy sales weekend! I hope the year has been good to you, and the next year will be too.
This year, I'm thankful for being able to attend Worldcon in Glasgow, constant work (though I complain about it), having a new book out in a new market (well, not really new, but through a local publisher), and well, being alive.
What about you?
Sales!
Being equal-opportunists means that even though I don't celebrate Thanksgiving, I'm including my books as part of the Black Friday Book Sale!
If you haven't already gotten the Absolution Series or A Spoonful of Malaysian Magic, make sure you grab them while they're $0.99 each.

George Town Literary Festival
If you happen to be in George Town this weekend, here's a schedule for all the events that the Malaysian Writers Society will be involved in.
All my books will be available - so if you're looking for paperbacks for yourself or as gifts, do come b(u)y! I can sign them for you too :D
Have a great end of the year, everyone!
