Nothing exciting

Yep, that pretty much sums up my day thus far. I remember when weekends used to be a lovely 48 hours of sloth and indolence. Then I had children. Now, my weekends are often spent carting one or another of the minions hither and yon and today was no exception. Ah, one of the myriad joys of motherhood. lol There really should be a sarcasm font don't you think?

Since I obviously have nothing of earthshattering import to say, I will instead pose a question. Summer swim team season started this past week and that means that I have many hours of poolside time in my immediate future waiting for the aforementioned minions to finish their respective practices. Therefore, I need to have lots of books lined up to read to pass the time. What 5 books would you recommend as can't miss reads? Don't feel constrained by time period, anything from classics to just published is fine. As for genre, I read almost anything, with the possible exception of fantasy. So, pleace rec away. It's practically a public service. :)

We're at 22. Sightings are slowing down over the past two days. Although there are an apalling number of other makes and models in the same lurid shade. I just don't get the attraction for the regular buyer. lol

I've never head of Kage Baker, but it sounds like I should definitely check her out. I've read a lot more fantasy than sci fi, not because I like it better but because I have friends who give me great fantasy recommendations, while not so much with sci fi.

My mom actually had The Devil in the White City laying around awhile ago, too. I thought it looked interesting, but never got around to reading it. I'll have to keep a lookout for it.

Do check out Kage Baker and let me know what you think. My husband and I both love her books.
