SUNSHINE! It's finally stopped dumping snow on us! Quickly, quickly, it's time to sit outside reading all afternoon and sunburn our silly selves BRIGHT RED, ow ow ow...

Still blissing out over Sarah Monette's Corambis, torn between "OM NOM NOM, delicious plot, what happens next?" and "Nooo, must read slowly because it's the last of the series!" I ( Read more... )

Hee! I swear, it's like I forget how easily I burn every single summer because I'm just so grateful for the nice weather. (But do they make SPF 666 for particularly evil ginger-types, I wonder...?)

Travis says Yes!

You've been drinking coffee again, haven't you? :)

Weirdly enough, less than when I was all miserable and weird-brained earlier... It's a little freaky what a difference sunlight makes for me!

The next time you're miserable I'll be sure to remind you to check out the view from your window and then shoo you towards your lizard lamp. *nods*

I left mah lizard lamp at the condo because, silly me, I thought it might actually be sunny in Calgary in May, rather than blizzarding. X-D

... This is a series of books you say? ... I think I might just really not actually need to find out what this is. Cos those voices are win...

They are most excellent and I highly recommend them, despite the mind-bogglingly awful cover art! X-D Added bonus: canon slash and quite a bit of it. (Sarah Monette has an LJ over at truepenny, and I believe she has some short stories up if you wanted to check out her style.)

Ooo, awesome. ♥ Has the overall series got a name? I see you use individual titles but that would help greatly in my ability to abscond with them track them down... :D

Alas, it does not. (Not that I'm aware of anyway!) There are only the four of 'em though (Mélusine, The Virtu, The Mirador, and Corambis) so it shouldn't cause you too much grief locating them. Heck, I'd offer to mail you the first one to get you started, but I'm in a different city than all my books at the moment, boo and hiss.
