The good news is that the book, or books, if you want to get technical, that I’m reading now are pretty enjoyable. They’re putting me in a much better mood than my last read, and even though they’ve got a dark mood to them, with often gristly images splattered across the page, they still have an underlying grim humor that appeals to me. Not for everyone, but I’ll probably order the rest of the series when I can. I’ll review in a day or two, once I’m done with this third one. They’re quick reads.
Did something to my blog settings last night that kept me up, fiddling with this and that until I finally got a gasp of life back into the thing. Still not sure exactly what I did to it, but at one point the whole thing refused to update. I love technology, but only when it works, and when it doesn’t…well…I suppose it’s not a good thing that inanimate objects and software raise my temper faster than the most obnoxious fellow on the subway. I try to be patient, but there’s something so smug about computer monitors, like they’re just sitting there, grinning back at you while you beg them to work properly.
Ah well. It’s fixed. I got sleep. The world continues to spin.
Oh. One fun note. I’m getting a sneak preview of Issue 3 of Jim Baen’s Universe (and if you want to as well, here’s how, according to Mir’s announcement…Note- You need a blog, and you need to be willing to review the issue by June 30th). So, hopefully I can read through it all and put up a big review in the next week or so. Or maybe I can do mini-reviews for a few days. Hmm. I’ll have to see what works best. The first story I’m reading through has already caught my attention in a good way, so that’s a strong start.
I see that smile.
