It has been a busy couple of weeks. Yet another procedure under my belt.

And that was a very unintentional pun. Mostly I have been heads down writing and then I will be getting everything ready for GRL. I had hoped this situation would have been taken care of before I had to leave but I am pretty much going to be in the same physical state as I was last year. Maybe less tired. So there is going to be a lot of pacing and energy expenditure in Portsmouth.

There is really not much going on other than writing. I’ve been reading a lot of books but nothing that I feel is so fantastic that I need to share. Except TA Moore’s Footwork which I really enjoyed because it was a fun read. Everything else has been urban fantasy and not all of it is good. There have been some that I have really enjoyed and am following for the next book.

I did read the last JD Robb book as well. And while I enjoy the characters, I didn’t feel like the story was super engaging but it was okay. One thing I do notice about my reading habits is that sometimes I’m just not in the mood for the, that I’ve got if I recognize something is good writing but it’s not grabbing me I usually put it aside to read later. I had that experience with Karin Lowachee’s Warchild which is a fantastic book and the rest of the series is as stellar but I wasn’t in that mindset when I first picked it up. Under the writing was incredible but I wasn’t in the mood for that drama so I put it aside until I could come back to it and really enjoyed it and I have no regrets with that.

I noticed that the Hawai’i Pickle Lady did a segment on one of my favorite dishes which is a Asian garlic eggplant. I love eggplant in nearly all of its forms but I do not care for baba ghanoush. No idea why. It’s like my hatred of split pea soup when I absolutely adore peas.

I hope today finds you all well and that you are headed into the next season in good health and surrounded by your favorite cookies.
