I don't actually have any book recommendations for you because I haven't had much time to read lately, and nothing I've read has stood out enough to mention. I've been doing a Pride and Prejudice marathon thing this week - reread the book last week, and then watched the BBC miniseries today. Great comfort-reading, but probably not helpful to you. I did want to say, though, that I am, as a childless person, in the midst of my own 48 hours of sloth and indolence. And it's nice, but not always all it's cracked up to be, either. :)

As for the XTerras, have you considered that you haven't seen 22 of them at all? I'm pretty sure that all the VM fanfic authors out there are wrong about Logan running off to Mexico for the summer. I think he's bolted to NC. You thought you'd seen 22 different yellow XTerras, but is in, fact, one yellow XTerra and Logan is stalking you.
