It's entirely frustrating to me that as much as I try to be a morning person, I ever fall back into my night owl habits. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. And I really need to learn to stop taking my frustrations with myself out on other people. >_
Heart Heart Heart this book. Even better than Shadow of the Lion. It had everything I like and then some. Italy, magic, Erik, evil russian demon, more magic, Benito, Manfred, cool women, and for good measure it throw s in greek mythology.
