Yesterday I was traveling (but left the husband at home working on on the house) to visit some friends where I grew up. I was going to bring Scarlet with me to finish on the plane, but I only have a few chapters left. Instead, I'm working my way through The Sword of the Lady by S.M. Sterling and Ready or Not... Here We Come by Elizabeth Lyons.
I'm enjoying The Sword of the Lady, but after reading several books in this series, I'm ready for the cross-country expedition to be over. (The main characters are making their way from Washington state to Nantucket by foot and horse after an event wiped out combustion engines and electricity world-wide.)
I'm really loving Ready or Not. Talked about it today on the TexasRed and the Twins page. I also just realized Elizabeth Lyons has 2 more books out about raising twins, so I think I'll be ordering even more of her work here shortly.
Of course, with any traveling, I have the excuse to read as many magazines as I can get my hands on, so I've been doing lots of that, too. What are you reading today?
I love when I get to fly somewhere, and the longer the trip the better. Where else do I get to sit and read, undisturbed (hopefully) without guilt? I am just finishing up China Mieville's The City & the City on audio, which is truly one of the most original police procedurals I've ever read. Also reading Peyton Place in print.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're getting to read today. Let's see....I have The Historian sitting on the back of the couch, but I can't continue reading that today because I'm canning green beans. Oh, and I have a great big biography of George Washington sitting on my bedside table, but I can't read that tonight because I need to finish painting one of the guestrooms after the tornadoes (I mean, kids) go to sleep.
ReplyDeleteSigh. So I'll settle for an audiobook. I have Shutter Island on the iPod, so guess I'll try to start that while I can/paint.
Have a safe trip!
I hope you are enjoying your trip. Safe Travels. I am about to read Katrina Papers by Jerry W. Ward, Jr. It's a "diary memoir" about Hurricane Katrina.
ReplyDeleteI just finished `Deadly Disclosures` by: Julie Cave. Julie has just become one of my very favorite authors. I plan to put my review up on Monday.
ReplyDeleteI want to read Ready Or Not now! My grandmother on my mom's side was a twin and my dad was a twin, so I have a secret fantasy that I'll have twins of my own.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments, and I'm finishing up Emily Griffith's Babyproof now.
