Amie Stuart ~ On the Back Porch

Well…..it was bound to happen. I had my first DNF of the year. I read 35 pages (and no i wont mention titles, it’s not necessary IMO).

In other news I finished Holly Blacks IRONSIDE and really enjoyed it. I don’t think it was as good as the first book but it was GOOD.

Up next? Ummmmmm tough choice…..I’ve got Rachel Caine’s Ill Wind, the Magic Bites book I blogged about on Monday, which is actually a small book.

Yes, I’m writing.

We have basketball this weekend which means I have children so I have no idea how much writing I’ll GET done, but I’ve been doing a lot by hand and carting the Alpha Smart with me

We signed up for the Y last night…they were busy so I want to go back and get a tour and stuff. It’s literally on my way home (and the kid is excited about being able to go play b’ball to his heart’s content) so hopefully we’ll be spending a lot of time up there.

Otherwise, all’s quiet so talk amongst yourselves!

Pop by NAS to find out.

Last night I finished up Kitty and the Midnight Hour (thank you Jordan–I think she’s who recced it). Anyway it was, I confess, my first werewolf book in a really long time–like ten years? I Dunno but the last one was Susan Krinard. I’ll definitely be picking up the others…the best part for me was the radio show. I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the wall while she was plotting out some of those calls..I was laughing out loud.

I really like Carrie’s writing style–I almost said simple, but sparse is a better word. She doesn’t waste words, which I appreciate. The storyline is engaging, and interesting though I did have a few personal beefs with some stuff toward the end that I can’t say in case you haven’t read it.

Up next…….Holly Black’s Ironside or um something else out of my to be read stack
