So despite only working 15 hours a week for the last couple of weeks, I haven’t really had the ambition to write. I had my birthday (25…wow…getting old…) and it was good. Jon got me an ipod, which comes in really handy at the gym. We had a pretty low key dinner, went shopping, nothing too crazy. I’ve been playing a lot of Scrabble on the ‘puter, despite the fact that there are always bills that need to be paid, things that need to be cleaned, etc…I’ve also been reading and i have some new books to add to the list.
The Graveyard Game by Kage Baker
Songs of Earth and Power by Greg Bear
Incubus Dreams by Laurell Hamilton
Tapping the Dream Tree by Charles deLint
All were pretty good, although the Laurell Hamilton was a little heavy on sex and a little light on plot. Not that I’m against gratuitous sex in my fantasy novels, but it’s nice to have a story too. I’ve read some other Greg Bear, and Songs of Earth and Power was completely different than his other stuff. Equally good, but different.
