Wednesday Weather: On the turn from cold and bright to cold and damp. Not an improvement
Thanks for the kind thoughts, folks. I've had 2 good nights of sleep, which make a huge difference to the immediate crisis. I also made it to Pilates last night, although the effort of will nearly broke me. It was worth it, though, because I always feel better afterwards.
One of the things I treated myself to this week was a plant for the office. I had a succulent a few years ago, but there isn't enough light in here and I had to give it away to save it. But on Sunday, James was buying plants for his office, and I got jealous! So this rather lovely bromliad came back with me. It wasn't expensive, so it it really is too dark in here, I won't be too upset, but it's nice to have an office-mate.
And as it's Wednesday...
What I'm reading
Finished
(Audio) The Hanging Tree by Ben Aaronovitch. I got much more out of this this time, but still struggled with all the names flying around. I'm bad at names, and having so many of them everywhere did confuse me, but that's my problem, not the book's! I still love this series, and need to reread the graphic novels, which I skimmed last year for fic purposes!
(eBook) A moment of silence by Anna Dean. After having such an awful time with The Monogram Murders, I got a little giddy reading this. The writing style is just my sort of thing, the main character was fun and the mystery satisfying. I'm delighted that there are 3 more available from the library, and while I was trying to resist bingeing, I think I'm going to have to plunge in (see below).
Abandoned
Dunstan by Conn Igulden. Not the book's fault. I liked the writing style very much, but I'm not in a frame of mind for the brutal realities of the Anglo Saxon world right now.
Currently Reading
Nothing. My brain has been a bit all over the place, and the fatigue's really biting, so I've dipped into a few things, but nothing's stuck. Rather than worry, I've downloaded a bunch of stuff from the library onto both phone and iPad, and I'll just pick up whatever I'm in the mood for, the next time I can actually keep my eyes open. I was going to try and save the next Anna Dean, possibly for a holiday, but I think they're going to be the sort of books I can reread, and as I'm not in the mood for anything else, I might just keep going with them!
