My NaNo novel is an unwieldy beast. And by that I mean it’s going well but its plot can easily go in four directions and I’m conflicted but only really conflicted because I am sort of getting to the point of procrastination. I KNOW, it’s day 14, I can’t afford that. But even so. I’m [...]

Last night I finished House of Many Ways, Diana Wynne Jones’s most recent book and the third book set in the world of Howl’s Moving Castle after Castle in the Air. I read both Howl’s and Castle in college, and I am a huge fan of the Miyazaki film adaptation of Howl’s Moving Castle, despite [...]
Reading the day away hurts the brain.

I just finished Breaking Dawn. Gasp. I’m still on hold for it from the library… which I should go cancel. My friend lent me her friend’s copy — haha — and so I devoured that between last night and this morning (while managing, might I add, to get a full night’s sleep). I’ve got an [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve really written and there’s no simple explanation for it. I just haven’t remembered. But that’s not to say that things haven’t been happening or I haven’t been reading. Actually in the intervening time between since when I last really wrote and now I finished King’s Shield, I read the [...]

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
Regarding Acheron. I’m halfway through and I know I’m right. Or well close to potentially being right.
Moving on.
Um.

Finished Proven Guilty. Off to pick up Small Favors, so that I can start that once I’m done with White Night. Then I’ll be all caught up. Though I am going to use self-control to see if I can hold off the temptation to do that, read them I mean, for at least a few [...]
The Dresden Files & such

So I’ve been busy. So sue me.
I’m not about to give you the recap from March to July, so deal with it. Punk.
MOVING ON.
One of the things that’s kept me occupied lately are the Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher. I’d incidentally run into them so many times while perusing Amazon.com in addition to having [...]
Dragonhaven

I finished Dragonhaven this morning. I started it last night instead of being a good girl and writing… and in the usual McKinley fashion I was sucked in. It says a lot when I read a book in the morning rather than doing something like, well, sleeping. (I started it last night, went to bed, [...]

At least it’s only the 10th of December. If it was next Monday the 17th already I might have to strangle Father Time because that’s just not funny. I still have loads of presents to buy (ugh, or even think about buying; I hate buying presents when I have no idea what to get for [...]
Penn Station & oddities

“Oddities” is one of my all-time favorite crazy words.
To begin on a less crazy note, I trekked over to Penn Station today to pick up our Amtrak tickets for this week’s holiday jaunt to Bryan’s family’s house. (The word “jaunt” is highly underused.) On my way there, I was walking through the Times Square station [...]
