Apparently it's February already? I read 8 books in January so off to a good start! The Art of Being Normal was definitely the best though I loved Redshirts (finally) and it was good to finally finish the Chaos Walking books. Also the Bettanys book was lovely.

The news today has been unremittingly bleak- the top three BBC stories right now are all about deaths and then there are several few about protests :-/ Personally my day started at 2am with a call from our work alarm company which I then worried about for ages because there was nothing I could do. I live too far away and had been drinking so couldn ( Read more... )

So I think I've finally completed my Yuletide sign up... though I'm still tempted to add a couple more requests ( Read more... )

One day Livejournal is going to manage to properly communicate with us about a problem from the start and we will all know that the end times have come ( Read more... )
