Finally

[maderr]

Seem to have at last caught up on my sleep and settled my sleeping pattern. Went to bed at 10:30, scratched out chunks of Midsummer until about eleven and woke up at 6:30. So all is well and I finally am back to feeling human.

Bills are paid, scraped some money into my savings, will be liivng tight 'til payday but not too horribly despite the chunk lost yesterday. *crosses fingers*

Beej, I'll probably send your ribbons out once I get a few more things together to send home. Probably end of next week.

And now I go to enjoy my english breakfast tea, and perhaps I'll select a new book to start today. Because as interesting as Earthly Joys is, it's a slow, slow read and I've not the patience at present.

Speaking of books, I put together my To Read shelf, and while it's still missing a few things, this is how it stands now:

Alta and Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Life Expectancy and Frankenstein by Dean Koontz
Shadowmarch by Tad Williams
Geisha by Minako Iwasaki
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (Sammie, say the word and we'll start formulating how we want to do this)
Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
The Gunslinger series by Stephen King
The Best Fantasy of 2004
The City of Towers by Keith Baker
Fevre Dream by George R.R. Martin (why am I reading another vamp book???)
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

I wish I had a To Read shelf XD I only own two books I haven't read. And I bought both of them yesterday XD

But hm, the dark tower series past the second (I think?) book are on my to read list, too. Fairy Godmother was good but I didn't like Alta XD Angels and Demons was good. Other than that I've never even heard of most of the rest of those so if you ever get around to reading them, tell me if you find any good ones <3 I can always use recommendations.

Tad Williams I highly, highly recommend. Mostly he writes monster series but if you don't want to start there, pick up The War of the Flowers. Then I'd go with his Otherworld series - it's huge but very very good. I haven't read the other series, mostly because my brother spoiled the end for me, but it too is very very good (my brother, sister & mother all love it, which generally is a gold seal of approval).

Thanks! I will definately look into that XD (Assuming my hometown library doesn't have a bounty on my head when I get back).
