annathepiperAccording to The Doyle's last post on the GBS From the Road page, the B'ys have been fighting off a touch of the flu. Erk. Here's hoping they stay healthy enough to sing for Seattle on Saturday night! *fingers crossed*
I finished City of Pearl. Picoreview: two definite thumbs up. More detailed comments to follow in another post. I shall be purchasing Crossing the Line and The World Before at my earliest convenience. It amuses me, further, that Karen Traviss writes Star Wars novels as well. I haven't actually read any Star Wars novels in some time, but I still have a soft spot for them. What can I say. ;)
In other book news, I have also now begun Rachel Caine's Ill Wind. I'm only forty pages in so far, but already I'm liking it. It's full of fun snarky-first-person big-bad-magic promise. And Jim Butcher endorses it! Doesn't get much better than that.
I'm very happy that the weather has turned towards the sunny here in the greater Seattle area, finally. Which means it's also gotten colder. There's been frost in the air the last couple of mornings, which pleases me; it makes it feel almost like winter around here for once.
There has been actual work to do around here for once, which is good! So I'd better get to it.
Days till the Great Big Sea Show (YAY!): 2
Wednesday evening miles: 1.85
Thursday morning miles: 1.6
Miles out of Hobbiton: 685.85
Miles out of Rivendell: 227.85
Miles to Lothlórien: 236.15
