Something Rotten

Good grief I am having a rotten start to this year.  Sorry for not posting so much, have been ill this week (again) and trying not to succumb to the urge to curl up in a corner and cry over the fact that I don't have a boyfriend.  It's completely lame because I KNOW that things are better this way for the time being.  I just hate being on my own.  But I hate being a whiny biatch even more so I'm trying very hard to snap myself out of it.  I just need a good slap in the face, I think.

The weather is promising so I may get to fly on Sunday, which would be awesome.  I have been a bad girl though and not kept up with my theory.  Oooops.  ^.^

Other than that, I don't have much interesting to say, other than that I finished "Kushiel's Chosen" by Jacqueline Carey.  It was absolutely brilliant, but like the last book of hers I read I was pretty tired by the time I got to the end.  She has a very rich writing style, which I love, but her books are LONG and unfortunately I'm one of those people who hates reading more than one book at once.  I'm giving myself a nice break before I make a start on "Kushiel's Avatar", the last book in the first trilogy.  The "Treason's Heir" trilogy is even LONGER so I hope she's learned  to refine her writing a little by the time I get to those.  She has a bit of a habit of making her characters repeat themselves.  However, the plot is extremely good, with a little bit of everything:  fantasy, history, mystery, action, romance...  I would definitely recommend her to most readers.  If anyone's going out to get her first book I will warn you that there is a reasonable amount of erotica in her books but it's very important to the story, and it's also done classily, unlike some stuff I have read, so try not to let that put you off.

Man I have such a long reading list just now that it's crazy, I think like 10 books or something. O_o  I'm loving it but at the same time it seems really daunting because I am always getting new stuff thrown my way.  Teehee.  Anyhoo I'm off for some lunch, and then some exercise.  Toodlepip!
