Yes, I added a new category called Daily Life. No worries. I won’t yammer on about personal stuff. I plan on keeping it to keeping it to things like current reading, writing, and web projects, plus just general amusements here and there.
I think it will help swing this blog on over to a more casual tone, in effect making it easier for me to keep up with. If I wait until I finish reading a book to talk about it, I’ll rarely get back to posting about it—especially if I’ve already slipped into reading the next in a series. As is, I already have a habit of starting too many books at the same time. (See my current reading list in the sidebar and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.)
Plus, there are manuscripts to read too. I can’t help it. I try to not take on too many of those to read, especially since I read slowly. Much too slowly. But as it is, we are currently in the process of starting a new season of books. The way it works for us on the marketing side of things is that we start by having the editors present their titles for that season to us. And wouldn’t you know it? I already jotted down two manuscripts I wanted to see. Steampunk. It couldn’t be helped, you see?
As to my current reading list, I just started reading The Somnambulist. I’m about 50 pages into it and am already enjoying it a lot. :) There are some rather quirky characters that have already endeared themselves to me. I’ve had that Dresden book on my currently reading list for a while and really, I should have finished it by now. But here’s the thing, it’s got horror film characters in it. I love horror, but it feels like I should be reading it in the Fall. Or at least if it’s a little cooler out. So, although I’m a chunk of the way into it, and loving the story so far, I think I would enjoy it more if I read it with the right setting.
And since this ramble is already long, I’ll just head right into Hoody-Hoo! I’ve been reading a lot of Knights of the Dinner Table lately. I’ve plowed through Bundles of Trouble volumes 1-21 and am currently reading volume 22. They only have 23 volumes out at the moment, which means I just may have a meltdown after I read that one. I don’t read the monthly magazine since, to put it bluntly, it sucks. I have no interest in the peripheral mumbo jumbo. I just want to read the comics!
All right, all right. Guess I’ll stop there.
Later! :)
