Catching up with my media consumption over the last few months, cutting because it got loooong...

I like the idea of Crafting Tuesdays, but all my creative energy is going toward figuring out what the hell to do with my house, so I doubt I'll pick that up. I do resolve to do more with the Wednesday book meme, and to pick up Recipe Fridays, because I am always reading and cooking, no matter what...

Okay, random reading and writing notes:

I somehow went from #127 on the hold list for Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad (this was yesterday evening when I was at the actual library), to having it show up on my account this morning as waiting to be picked up. I don’t actually understand, but I will be going by to grab it before they ( Read more... )

The Winter Sea, by Susanna Kearsley--it is, like all of her work, very, verrrrry detailed. It also turns out to be about D’s family (the Scottish clan from the 1700s, so nobody we know), which I didn’t realize when I snagged e/audiobook on whatever Deal of the Day I got it on.

Oh, y'all, I am laughing (in that way that's sort of screaming) so hard about work right now. There's a whole other story there, one that I will get into later, but for now, let's talk books.

Well, more like the April reading meme, but roll with me...

When a Scot Ties the Knot, Tessa Dare -- I... really should have loved this one, but for a really long time, I thought it was going to go DNF. I liked all the disparate parts (her, him, the castle, people finding a home, etc, etc) but I dislike the trope TD used to get them ( Read more... )

Today’s goal: add "but I’m making progress" every time the brain weasels tell me how there’s so much to do. (My to-do lists really do overfloweth, but having my brain tell me a hundred times an hour how I’ll never cope is not helpful at all and since I am failing at turning that inner-monologue off, I’m trying to tack the progress part onto the end ( Read more... )
