Biking plans scuttled

[annathepiper]

Mostly due to my having so much to do last night--checkbook balancing and a bit of bill paying--that I didn't get to bed until around midnight. Granted, I usually don't get to bed till around midnight, but since my sleep has been wacky lately I ultimately decided I'd much rather sleep in an extra half hour than haul myself out of bed early to get on the bike. Especially since I don't know the route down from Kenmore yet. Also, it's cooler and showery today anyway. So.

Didn't write a word last night either. But I did finish off Julie Czerneda's Migration, and on the way home from work I stopped at Third Place and picked up naominovik's Throne of Jade, Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, and Jane Lindskold's The Buried Pyramid. I already knew I wanted the first two; the third was an impulse buy, and looked like fun, a classical sort of archaeological adventure tale. Just the thing to go with Elizabeth Peters' The Serpent in the Crown, one hopes.

Though I'm actually reading Tami Hoag's Kill the Messenger next.

I have the Lindskold one and couldn't get past page 50. You'll have to tell me if you enjoy it, and mebbe I'll give it another read.

Ooh, not promising! But I'll be sure to post my thoughts on it when I get to that book. It's rather far down the queue at the moment.

I've got one other Lindskold book that I liked all right, so I thought I'd give this one a shot.
