I hope you are all big fans of ignoring things because I have been so excited about this announcement that I can’t ignore it at all!

In Canada, Indigo is our Barnes & Noble. It’s where everybody gets their books, if they aren’t shopping at indies or ordering delivery from the big river store.

And Indigo has decided that IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS is on their list of most anticipated sci-fi books of the year!

Not only that, but they’re doing a sale about it. If you pre-order next week, between February 2nd and 8th, you’ll get 25% off.

(They even put a little “Canadian” sticker on it, which I am delighted by!)

If you are in Canada and haven’t pre-ordered yet, then this is definitely your chance.

That’s my big book news this week, but to round things out, here are two more blurbs that I didn’t include in my last email!

“Ada Hoffman always impresses me. Ignore All Previous Instructions is intimate, hopeful, and completely charming.”

– Kelly Robson, Nebula award-winning author 

“A thoughtful, engrossing SF novel about AI, creativity, censorship, and gender (with an autistic protagonist). I loved the believable worldbuilding, the complex and layered relationships between the characters, and the exploration of the ways people cope with repression. Highly recommended.”

—Juliet Kemp, author of The Marek Series

And here’s a cute arrow graphic that I made for Bluesky. I always wanted to make a cute arrow graphic!

I know we are living in horrifying times, but I’m trying to take my joy where I can, and this book has continued to be a source of joy for me. I can’t wait to share it with absolutely everyone.

Take care!
