spring books

amazon.com just informed me that Jo Graham's STEALING FIRE is in the mail - two weeks before it's official release date. it's quite a spring for books - by which i mean the books that i actually pre-order in hardcover and usually read as soon as they arrive. there are, frankly, so many right now that even these top picks are having to spend some time waiting their turns. In the same month I get Elizabeth Peters has RIVER IN THE SKY, Sarah Addison Allen just released THE GIRL WHO CHASED THE MOON, Laurie King's GOD OF THE HIVE, and Lee and Miller's MOUSE AND DRAGON, and, as mentioned, STEALING FIRE. Now what I need is time to read!

The Tenth of May

Today is lisajulie's birthday. AND i got my second jello shot to both knees. AND Sappho stayed out for 24 hours and just now got home. AND had four cable guys at the house for three hours trying to get my "digital" box fixed so I can watch TV when they stop sending analog signal - but it still doesn't work. Sappho's return tops lisajulie's birthday - but just by a little - and the other two bits aren't that important comparatively.
