Oh, that could be it! INTERESTING, I never considered that aspect of it. Thanks. Maybe I should take the imaginary pins out of my imaginary Ben Aaronovitch voodoo doll, and quit blaming him. The release dates got pushed back with both his last two books as well, though, so I still think it's partially his fault.
The good news is that June 2016 is a worldwide release date, they're not releasing first in the UK (where he makes the bestseller lists) and three or four months later in the rest of the world (where he's much more of a niche author). For the previous books, I had to either possess my soul in patience for several months, or order a hard copy from the UK. Doing the latter is expensive, and also means I'm stuck with the dead tree book when I prefer to read on my device. I only have so much space left on my bookshelves, so I'm all about the e-reading now!
Yeah, it wasn't that any one thing was a huge big deal, it was just one thing after another making me very cranky and sorry for myself. But the sun is shining, I have the day off work, and I slept in late this morning, so I'm feeling significantly better today.
