WoT Update

Two down, several to go. I’ve decided I’m not going to review them publicly, since they’ve been around a bit, eh? Eh? Know what I mean? They have grown on me, though. I am reading The Fuller Memorandum by Charles Stross as my interstitial book, and, while I’m loving it (being a public servant/servant of the Deep Ones (or should I not tell you that? Too late, oops), the Laundry series really hits home on many levels), I find myself wishing it was shorter so I could start on The Dragon Reborn already.

If you’ve read the series already, there’s a (hopefully interesting) blog on tor.com of Leigh Butler’s WoT Reread. Warning: It assumes you’ve read the Jordan books already, IE up to Knife of Dreams. I’ll be reading it once I’m past that.

Things that make me feel old/Things that make me feel young

I just got back from a shinny game where, other than Dan, I could have been everyone’s father. Note that I am extremely sore now. Owieee!

Dan

Shaky picture of Dan!

In other news, ER II just hit year 60 on the throne, and my model-railway association listserv (do we still call them that? Is that another mark in the “old” column?) has been full of “Where were you when you learned that George VI died” reminisces. I think my dad was just figuring out how to get a gleam in his eye.

I first happened upon Jon Anealio via I Should Be Writing‘s (a well-done writing podcast that I highly endorse) theme song. Hilariously, I assumed Mur and been saying John and Neal Yeo every time she said it, and wondered if they had any connection to PEI. I’ve since realized my error, found his site (linked above) and enjoy the stuff that he puts out.

 

Enjoy!

Every morning, when I dress Owen (my 2yo), he sings the first couple of lines from this song:

So there, book one is complete. I should have finished it two days ago, but there was always something stopping me. I’ll post an actual review later when I’m not so tired (that might mean sometime in 2026, but hopefully not!).

I’m going to cleanse my mental palate with Changeless by Gail Carriger before hitting The Great Hunt. Go Paranormal Romance!

 

And now: a photo (for placating Dan)

Just found this on My Sweet’s phone. It’s from our trip to the UK last spring. I had  a pint of the Old Rosie while waiting to fly back to Zagreb, and it made the airport bearable.
