Life, and Literature: #38 - 43
Jul. 11th, 2008 02:56 amSo, I'm back. As of 11:45pm Monday, actually. Exhausted, still. A bit browner than before, and a lot poorer; I'll be scraping the corners of my purse for quarters to fuel car and body until my next paycheck. But richer of spirit, I think.
More on our adventures tomorrow, when I finally have time to upload pictures; I dragged the digital camera everywhere. I didn't get as much writing done as I wanted, unfortunately; too tired, and virtually no opportunities for deliberate research, as I was always playing chaperone. But all that traveling about was good for my reading, at least.
One swords-and-manners fantasy; one epic fantasy; one sci-fi; one historical fiction; one paranormal romance; and one-- well, however one sums up Tolkien.
( Books # 38-43 )
Speaking of Tolkien. I just spent precious lunch dollars on Naomi Novik's A Victory of Eagles, newly out in hardcover, and what should I espy upon the back but a glowing review by Peter Jackson? So I googled, and discovered that the man who brought The Lord of the Rings to vivid on-screen life has apparently optioned Temeraire! *cautious glee* Anyway, that's what I'm reading next.
