my past lotsa hours
Woke up at seven-thirty. Surprised parents at seven-forty-five by being conscious and downstairs and putting food in mouth. Dove right into Terrier by Tamora Pierce. Somebody asked if I wanted to come on the mall expedition. Brought book in car and kept reading till we got there about ten. Spent ten dollars at the book display in the mall corridor (cookbook, cookbook which will be Mother's Day present, McCaffrey hardcover for cheap because the paperback just came out) and another fifteen in the Waldenbooks (Scott Lynch's Lies of Locke Lamora and Red Seas over Red Skies and five minutes later realized I'd forgot all about my Borders 30% off coupon and went back for Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart. Got back to the car about noonish and finished off Terrier and then got distracted by lunch and by sisters wanting help loading their shiny new MP3 players and by being hauled off to help clean the SUV and the garage. (Forgot how to deal with sunshine and temperatures above mid-seventies. Dehydration is not fun.) Somewhere in there I read synecdochic's "Dial Tones" because on the way from the mall I caught the words "take these broken wings" in a song and naturally that reminded me of her series of which "Dial Tones" is first chronologically. Absconded with sister's shiny new Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce and blasted right through that. Dinner. Back to synecdochic's Broken Wings. Wandered off to bake pound cake between Broken-Wings-novel-the-first (will someday actually remember what it's called) and A Howling in the Factory Yard. Got the March section open in another window right now, but now I'm online there's all sorts of emails and journal posts and such to glance over before I go back to that.
Erm. Fanfiction novels do count for the readathon, right?
