Bump...a bunch of Books

Since I'm never really working much anymore, I've been taking advantage of the local library system.

12. The Language of Bees - Laurie R. King

13. The Clan Corporate - Charlie Stross

14. White Witch, Black Curse - Kim Harrison

15. Tangled Webs: a Black Jewels Novel - Anne Bishop. I love the Black Jewels books. They are high on my reread list. :)

16. The Hidden Family - Charlie Stross.

17. Death of a Bore : A Hamish Macbeth Mystery - M. C. Beaton. I'm enjoying the Hamish series on audiobook. These are definitely fun.

18. The Family Trade - Charlie Stross. Now I have to wait for the library to get the next one in the series.

19. Across the Face of the World - Russell Kirkpatrick. They only had the first one in the library. Waiting on that one too.

20. Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street: A Life of the World's First Consulting Detective - Baring-Gould. Fascinating "biography" of Mr. Holmes. Actually shelved in biography, too. :)

21. Bridge of Birds: a novel of an Ancient China that Never Was - Barry Hughart. Master Li and Number Ten Ox. I can't recommend this one enough. Awesome.

22. The Years of Rice and Salt - Kim Stanley Robinson. Would recommend this to anyone with an interest in Buddhism and what might happen in the bardo.

23. Death of a Witch: A Hamish Macbeth mystery - M. C. Beaton. Yet another audiobook, and I'm liking this author more and more. The reader for these books, Graeme Malcolm, is very good. I guess he's done hundreds of audio books but since I'm new to the genre, I'd never heard him before.

And that's all the books I've read since last time (that I remember).

In other news, the house is slowly coming together. Boxes being unloaded and keeping up on the rest of the house. Including giving the cat a bath. I can't say he enjoyed it, I certainly didn't and I know the fleas didn't either. But less fleas = happier cat.

Downside is that he's so fuzzy that it takes forever to dry him out. And I haven't unpacked my hair dryer yet.

The Wii Fit is also being used on a regular basis. Not that I'm seeing progress but whatever. -2 lbs. In a month. *sigh*
