Hey, I found an extra day this week. Not that there’s actually an extra day (I could sell something like that on eBay and make a mint) but for some reason as of yesterday I thought there were only three days in the week left, when there were actually four. It’s like I’ve got a bonus Thursday or something. And a good thing, too, because I’m going to need it for the freelance thing.
– more scheduling and planning
– did a mock-up/rough draft of a concert program for my cello teacher (this breaks down into looking at samples, researching and downloading new clip art, trying to figure out the new printer settings for duplex printing, and so forth)
– blogged the weekend roundup
– blogged the May book list
– washed my hair
– tried to nap when I started falling over, was thwarted by the phone
– caught up on more of the way-behind-inbox
– did a splash of the freelance assignment (every time I sat down something else happened that I had to handle)
– more house research
– half an hour of seriously overdue practice for orchestra tonight
ETA: Orchestra, of course.
So where’s that book list? I’m desperate for good things to read!
xox
Just scroll back, Paze; it’s right before the weekend roundup! Although it wasn’t a stellar month in recommendation terms, really. There was rereading and reading what I had on hand because it was on hand, not necessarily because I felt drawn to it. The three I really enjoyed (A Local Habitation, Changes, By the Mountain Bound) are all the latest in series, so it’s hard to say read them! without saying |read the one/ten books previous to them.
Have you ever read Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody books? They’re Egyptologist stories set in the first fifteenish years of the twentieth century, with really fun characters. I have most of them; if you like, I’ll lend the first few to you. It occurred to me because I just borrowed the latest form the library.
