Time Off

I'm all for a little time off. Even my regular days off. I'd just like them better if they weren't split up throughout the week. Two days off IN A ROW would make me all kinds of happy right now.

Anyway, new blogness for consumption : Paperback Writer

It is all good.

Do Something!

Ah, dear Internet, how I've neglected you. Truth to tell darling, I've been busy with other pressing business. I've found that my One True Love has been wasting away from my lack of affection and I have been striving to correct that oversight.

(In other words, I've been reading. And having a wonderful Anniversary (9 years now!) with my hubby this weekend. Oh, and helping assorted family members with moving various heavy furniture items.)

But you've been so patient and wonderful and here I am! Ready to relive all my daily anxieties and frustrations for you. My ups and my downs. It will be fantastic! I've missed you so much and I'm glad to be back, lit by your magical glow.

Author is feeling whimsical and amused today.

All the Things I Have Read...

In the last two weeks. Sorry I've been gone so long, I needed a break from the world so I retreated to my imagination. Anyway, it seems my imagination needed some quality reading time. I ended up reading around eight books this week and I think I've finally finished my marathon run.

Monday Mourning, Murder List, Talk to The Hand, R is for Ricochet, Shadow of Sagnami, Druid's Sword, Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, Queen of the Darkness. There is another one wriggling around trying to get me to remember its name, but for the moment this list will have to do.

I think I'll go start a series I've got the whole set around so I have something else to occupy my time until work tomorrow.

Books For My Pleasure...

Finished "Throne of Jade" and I can't wait for number three, "Black Powder War." This series is a fast and fun read. I also like what she's done with the ideas of dragons and riders. Fascinating.

Also finished my reread of Anne McCaffrey and I remember why I liked these so much. I read them when I was younger, junior high - high school, when my reading tastes were more . . . immature. The story is there and the characters, but it is almost like an outline. I want someone to come along and fill in all the details. Everything just seems to move too fast. Still, a good light read, which is what I needed after all the cleaning and cleaning and cleaning.

3. R is for Ricochet - Sue Grafton

4. Dragonquest - Anne McCaffrey (I hate to only read one of a series.)
