Effecient multi-tasking
Jun. 30th, 2009 11:21 amMy to-read pile has grown to an alarming height, so I'm combating it by reading three...no, make that four books at once. I usually only juggle two, so this is obviously a step up in difficulty, and to make things even more spectacular - I'm doing it without a net, clad only in a sequined leotard and a big hat with a lot of feathers. My co-workers are agog.
Anvil of the World by Kage Baker. Hilarious story about a passel of people named Smith, demon princes with sibling issues, and magic, all set in a city in an alternate world. Not too much to the plot - it's there to provide opportunities for lots of humor, really.
D-Day by Stephen Ambrose. Reading it after enjoying Band of Brothers, which, natch, was the book they drew from to make the fabulous miniseries. (Have been a bit immersed in the time period recently, and actually just got 10 Ladies Home Journals from between 1940 and 1945. Lots of food porn, lots of admonitions about saving, and vitamins, and not wasting resources. Will post images from them.)
Madam, Will You Talk? by Mary Stewart. Have strangely lost all the Stewarts I knew I owned, so replaced them cheaply at Yellowed Pages, the used bookstore. Probably will follow up with Touch Not The Cat.
Why Shoot A Butler by Georgette Heyer. Am now making my first foray into Heyer's mysteries. Loved it, although the big reveal at the end was a little lengthy. Why do I love grumpy heroes so much?
