It begins! Kinkfest 2014 volunteering!

Wonderful music a roaring fire and Lit... Time to relax.
 
Getting ready to jump in the shower...and kind of wishing I had a gal to share that shower with.
 
Listening to people throw fits about our furnace, which now needs to either be fixed or replaced (Electrical issue...the wiring was definitely on fire, from the smell, and there's a minor leak on the inflow valve)
 
Looking at them, I actually didn't get as many as I thought. I got a couple of Cook's Illustrated cookbooks, because even though I have the compilation one they keep putting out new ones with a bunch of random recipes, argh. Because I keep having to lay around so much I went and found this list of like "most underrated or hidden but awesome" historical fiction. A couple of Anya Seton's books, this book about Macbeth. The Thirteenth Tale, which is some contemporary Gothic story. I got a biography about Madame Tussaud - random, I know, but I had a story inspiration and I wanted to check out a few things about wax stuff. I got The Lace Reader but the other one you suggested was checked out. I really love my library, but every time I make a list of books at least half of them are either checked out or not there. I probably read too much.

Uh. I also got a Nigella Lawson cookbook that I've gotten a million times, no idea why I haven't just bought that one already. I got this book by a poet that I've heard of, Vikram Seth, A Suitable Boy. It's like 1350 pages long.

I think that's it. This is actually a small trip for me, believe it or not.

Have you read Scalzi's Red Shirts? I enjoyed that one a lot. Odd Thomas is another good one. Though, that book maybe the only one I like in the series.

I haven't read Scalzi! I follow his blog, though. He has great advice for writing.

I love his blog. He's humor is right up my alley. =)
You'll enjoy Red Shirts. That was the first one I read by him and then I started on his popular Old Man's War series.

For something different and thought provoking, if not plainly beautiful, you should try out Jorge Luis Borges' Labyrinths. It's a collection of his writing. One of the few that I can listen to & love as an audio book.

I read a lot and have a huge library. Though, my eLib is outgrowing the physical one by leaps & bounds.
 
I am pondering an idea based on the anime Campione, which is about humans who have slain gods, and thus been granted their Authority.
 
Poor Vail. I'm getting ready to get my niece off the bus. The tornado returns in fifteen.
