Rethinking things
As it turns out where I want to be in Cincinnati is 50 miles from the renn fest. I'm 100 miles. It opens at 1030. You know what I could get up at my normal time and get there for the opening and that's my new plan I think because I'll be too tired to do anything else in Cinci. I might as well just go back in December.
I DID get the ghost hunt a week from friday booked in Marietta. shockingly the Lafayette Hotel (the one that caught fire last time) is BOOKED for the 28th. Boo. I will call tomorrow just to be sure but fine I'll book a different hotel out by the highway. It's like 3 miles away. My only concern is I'll be getting out of the haunted house right around last call for alcohol on a major drinking holiday. whee.
The grades got put in so at least that's done.
What I Just Finished Reading: The Night Marchers and Other Oceanian Stories by Kel McDonald
Elric: Stormbringer by Michael Moorcock, graphic novel by Julien Blondel
Wildwood by Colin Meloy
Night Marchers was mostly Hawaiian and Filipino folk lore stories. Like most anthologies it's hit or miss.
Elric, what can I say about this? I remember Elric SOOO fondly from my teen years. I remember him as a tragic figure, a bit emo, but holy hell in this he is a fucking psychopath. Now I'm stuck between do I reread a teen favorite as I DO have the novels somewhere? Or do I keep it as a happy (if inaccurate) memory. This is why I dislike rereading. The characters don't change but I do.
What I am Currently Reading:
So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens this is the one with the why won't you just talk trope going on. I mean it's cute BUT it's so Hallmark, and love was right beside him all the time (it's literally on the dust jacket) it's making me suppress my gag reflex.
A Haunted History of Invisible Women: True Stories of America's Ghosts by Leanna Renee Hieber & Andrea Janes which is very much a feminist history exploration of ghosts and stories of haunting via that feminist lens
What I Plan to Read Next: Lady of Bones by Carolyn Haines for my Mississippi challenge.
