another good thing about the weekend:

My copy of The Silver Pigs has been restored to me. This is pretty good going, as I only noticed it was missing about 2 weeks ago and hadn't had time to work up a really good panic about it yet. Turns out Jen had it, and had brought it with her.

I love love love love love those books. I had just got off a kick of reading all of them (starting with the last one I had, then reading the others in order). They actually work really well that way; with some series, reading too many at once puts you off, but with these you really appreciate all the continuing threads.

Also, I am a suck. The first 5 or so books, where Falco and Helena are cautiously working out their relationship, make me go all warm and fuzzy.

I used "really" 3 times in that post. God. I suck.

Try writing fiction. My adverbs and I are in a state of ongoing war...too many adverbs bad, too few it's like reading Hemingway.

Argh.

Helena Justina = Best. Girlfriend-type-character. Ever.
I'm waiting for her latest to be available at my library so I can get my grubby little paws on it. 'Last Act In Palmyra" was my favorite, tho.
Now I have simonvervain started on them. Mua ha ha ha.

YES!

I am hoping Santa will be kind to me on this one...
