angela_oYou know how you get in those moods where you just can't bring yourself to post? Hmmm. Maybe it's just me. The past month has been a pretty good one, but for whatever reason I didn't post. Some highlights: I took the kids to visit my family in SC and GA. We spent a week at the beach. J. celebrated her 14th birthday. The kids went back to school yesterday. E and J are both in high school this year (and how is it possible that I'm old enough to have two high school students???). M. started middle school. Oh, and I went to the movies and read some books.
#116 Fuzzy Dice by Paul Di Filippo. Mind-bending science fiction that I won't even try to recap.
#117 is Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. Okay, but I'd throw the lead male over for the other love interest in a heartbeat.
#118 is Fourth Comings by Megan McCafferty. I was not happy with the ending of this one. I wonder if she resented writing another in the series?
#119 is Love Walked In by Marisa De Los Santos. My mother-in-law brought this one to the beach and I really enjoyed it. A chick lit that I actually liked for a change.
#120 is Julia's Chocolates by Cathy Lamb. Another chick lit, but more typical of the genre. A fine beach read though.
#121 is The Raphael Affair by Iain Pears. This one is called an "art mystery". I'm not normally a mystery fan, but the inclusion of the art world and historical events made this one a fun read. I think I'll check to see if there are others in this series.
#122 is Naked Pictures of Famous People by Jon Stewart. A collection of essays some of which were more successful than others.
#123 is Ghostwalk by Rebecca Stott. This was recommended to me by a friend and I found it engrossing. A combination of history, murder mystery, Cambridge, Sir Isaac Newton, the quest for scientific explanation, and modern animal rights protesters that mix together for an alchemical brew.
#124 is Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce. Pierce is my latest YA author that I'm reccing. A bewitching mix of adapted medieval history and fantasy elements. I picked this up for J while sorting at the booksale, but I loved it too. For any YA lovers, you should check her out. Apparently there are over 10 existing titles in this same universe.
#125 is Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce. The sequel to Trickster's Choice. J bought this one with some of her birthday money. A satisfying continuation of the storyline.
That's the state of me at the moment. How are you?
Last, but certainly not least, thank you for the card Micha! It was a most unexpected, but lovely surprise. *smooch*

Date: 2007-08-30 05:25 am (UTC)You got the card. Yay! I wasn't sure what kind of luck you had with Canada Post so I hoped that you would get it on time by sending it early. It's not just you in regards to posting, I have my moments also, sometimes, I just don’t feel like it.
School - Ah, I see that the most wonderful time of the year (according to back-to-school
commercials) has started for you. The years just pass on by, don't they?
Books - I read Twilight and New Moon but for some odd reason, I'm not all that eager to read Book 3, even though, it's sitting on my table staring at me. Maybe once I finish my current book, I will be tempted to finally read Eclipse. Thought Love Walked In was a great read also.
