hot weather is Nature's way of telling me to get to work,...

And lo, vincam is on her way to the airport after a lovely, if busy, post-Balticon visit, and the apartment suddenly seems very quiet. Boomer wants to know where other Person went? Pandora... well, Pandora didn't mind Jules being around, which is about as much of a compliment as the Duchess gives.

And now I have no excuse not to buckle down and whip through the things that Must Be Done this week.

- finish That Damn Story #7, which is being balky about letting me into the characters' heads. draft done!
- sign and pack out books to their new owners ready for the post awful tomorrow
- work on my lesson plans for Odyssey
- update website
- write the next chunk of THE VINEART WAR #3
- laundry
- sort through the pile of catalogs and galleys I picked up at BEA

That should be doable in two days, right?

And when that's done, I have the DVDs of season 2 of Leverage, and the new Laurie King novel, and the new Lynn Flewelling novel, and ooo, the new Marie Brennan to read! *settles in for weekend*


So what's everyone else reading?

Well, I finished Hard Magic last night by candlelight (power outage on my side of town for nearly 2 hours, I had 4 pages left and was going to finish it, damn it.), picked up C E Murphy's Demon Hunts and Lynn Flewelling's The White Road today, but they're going on vacation with me on SAt.

I might start Sarah Ash's latest, Flight Into Darkness tonight.

I've just finished reading Death's Mistress by Karen Chance which has left me wanting to re-read her Cassandra Palmer quartet so I may go through those while I'm deciding which non-re-read book to read next. And which genre.

Confessions of Catherine De Medici, by C. W. Gortner.

I am about 2/3rds through it and haven't found any horrible historical errors.

Read Laurie King's latest recently. I started by re-reading last year's, which really is the first half of this one. Wonderful!

Honestly, Flesh and Fire was up next, but then my wife finished up the last Charlaine Harris and the new Simon Green showed up at the door, so now I have to choose.

Right now I'm reading Frankenstein. It's interesting so far.

I finally sorted out the LA Banks and the Lori Handeland series (I kept getting them co-located, which doesnt work for reading in order) so I am going to start on them next. I have been reading WW2 in the Pacific related books, and I feel like rereading Battle Cry by Uris.

I've just started George R R Martin's A SONG OF FIRE AND ICE series...

Hmmm...

I finished F&F, am currently almost done with The Sleeping God by Violette Malan, and I'll throw dice to see what book from the TBR pile to read next. (It's not like I'm hurting for selections to choose from, that's for sure.)

Well, I'm reading both "La magicienne du feu" and "Stealing Across the Sky" by Nancy Kress.

Read Shift (book 5 of the Shifters series by Rachel Vincent).

Reread Prime Directive (by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens) for the 4 millionth time.

Am in the process of reading Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson.

May read Blockade Billy by Stephen King this weekend

Need to carve out a time to read Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs.

And in case your ego needs boosting, regarding your recent releases, I've:

1) read Flesh and Fire (via ye old public library)
2) read Hard Magic (purchased via fictionwise.com) days after it came out
3) bought your collection of Cosa Nostradamus short stories (most of which I had already read) from...wherever it is you're selling it out of (smashwords?).
4) literately *just bought* The Hunted (bad fictionwise, for not telling me they're carrying it now)

end ego boosting
