Stuff and other stuff
Pro-tip: inflammatory arthritis in the spine + major rain storm = omg pain.
Combine that with lots of tummy cramping and I really wished that I'd stayed in bed today. Instead I got up and went to work, where we got treated to the staff appreciation breakfast. I just had some apple juice as I'd already eaten my delicious breakfast of home made granola, plain yoghurt and fresh blueberries. The work version didn't look appetising and the reviews convinced me that abstaining was a good idea: very sweet granola with sweet vanilla (!!!) yoghurt. Blech.
Needing to eat brekkie at home in order to down my morning pills does make for a good excuse for not eating the work version :-) They did have some nice tiny croissants and I grabbed one for a late morning snack after my tummy settled down.
In book news, I have done rather the opposite of getting Mount TBR shorter. Spy Glass by Maria V. Snyder arrived yesterday, which I've been meaning to get for ages and finally gave into last week. Hey, I needed something to boost me to free shipping from Amazon for a DVD!
Somehow, I don't think that purchase saved money...
I'm thoroughly loving Among Others by Jo Walton and it's definitely going onto my best reads of 2012 list when it's finished :-D Does anyone know whether there's a list of all the books mentioned in the text? I feel like I'm missing out on a lot by having missed out on so much of my SFF history! So I want to track down a ton (and raid my Dad's collection - I know he has a lot of them particularly the Delaney) and read them and then re-read Among Others.
It's the kind of thing that really pays off if you're a huge reader. So, you know, exactly my kind of book :-D
As for Mount TBR, I'm currently torn between digging into Agatha H, Pterry, Wolf Hall or Spy Glass. So bad when I have too much choice! What am I actually in the mood for?
Does anyone else ever look at their unread stack, their wishlist of things they want to read and all the books they want to re-read and despair at ever having enough time to read it all?
