Scribblings in the Dust

   Posted by: Gemini   in Books

I’m sure it’s going to echo around here.  Empty as it has become.  I’ve got hundreds of little half posts and I’ve just not finished them.  I think I may try little “shout outs” for lack of better terms.

Been reading.  Heavily.  Majorly.  About everything else is back burner.  All my podcasts are not safe for work and we can’t wear a headphone since we’re on headsets.  So I turn to the next best thing and those are my books.

In the last months I’ve read every Blood book Anne Bishop’s written, including her new one, The Shadow Queen.  Excellent read, was well worth the money, but I’m actually looking forward to getting away from the SaDiablo family eventually.

Ripped through the Kushiel saga; all six books that Jacqueline Carey has put out so far.  Her new one is due out this summer and I’m rather looking forward to it.  She has a mystery out too, but I haven’t been able to get my hands on it… yet.

My accomplishment though… is getting my husband reading.  He tore through every RA Salvatore book I owned, eating the words written about Drizzet like they were candy.  And pouted when he ran out of books.  We just got The Lone Drow and The Two Swords in today, which made him happy.  In the meantime he’s also read through Anne Bishop’s Sebastian and Belladonna and said she needed to lay off the Blood books and get some more from that world written.  I’ve also entangled him into the world of Harry Dresden.  Next I think we’ll tackle some Tee Morris or Mur Lafferty.

Ah yes, speaking of the podcasters….  I ordered my copy of my favorite Scott Sigler book The Rookie.  Have you?  If you haven’t, don’t make my mistake and be in such a hurry to make sure you get a copy that you forget to ask him to sign it.  I feel like crying at this point.  Hopefully he’ll be buzzing through Texas again once it’s out.

And while we’re on the subject of the podcasters, JC Hutchins’ Personal Effects – Dark Arts is coming out this summer too.  I’m in a hurry to get my hands on that one too.

Reading…  reading…  ah yes…  Twilight.  The whole fugging series and I blame two of my favorite co-workers.  I have to admit I wasn’t expecting the story to be as enjoyable and as engrossing as I found it to be.  I’ve gone through it twice now in less than thirty days.  The film wasn’t bad…  hurried…  but not bad at all.  Fantastic soundtrack.

I think I’m running out of dust now.  Think I’ll see if I can’t clear up the cobwebs and get some more posts up soon.  For now, if you’re going to waste time… waste it well.

PS Big thanks to Joe Cottonwood for the autographed copy of Clear Heart.  Have burned through it twice too.
