In a Friday state of mind

pepper: Cup of tea (Tea)
Curse you, everyone who recommended the Vorkorsigan books to me! I get no sleep, because I keep staying up late reading the damn things. I think, "I'll just read for five minutes before I go to sleep..." but before I know it, it's half-past one. Annoyingly, today I reached the final chapter (of Memory) just as my bus arrived at work. Despite reading it on the walk between my bus stop to the office (no, not crossing any major roads), I didn't finish. Now I want to just duck into a closet and finish reading it, but I really can't. I'm going to have to wait until lunchtime. Which is nearly an HOUR away. It's not faaaaaaaaaaair.

Also, I read a fic the other day which totally made me think that the writer had been reading Lois McMasters Bujold. But in a good way - and subtle enough that I may be mistaken. I don't think I'd have seen it if I hadn't just read it, myself.

Lucinda Williams CD has arrived, woohoo! It is lovely (so far, I like it a lot more than West - particularly the song Honey Bee *hearts her accent*). But Sapphire and Steel, allegedly dispatched at the same time, hasn't turned up yet. Has it disappeared en route? Where are my medium atomic weight agents? Okay, it said 3-5 days delivery, so it's not technically late yet... but still.

Um... more of this inane drivel later, when I think of it.

Bujold!

I am reading Memory at the moment. About 120 pages into it so far. Next stop the Miles in Love bindup.

I'm staggered it's only this year I've found out about these books.

Me too! I mean, between us, you'd think we'd have come across it years ago. Particularly you.

Memory was excellent - I finally sneaked a few minutes and finished it (I was literally about ten pages from the end). I have A Civil Campaign with me, to start today. Okay, it's not the next in the series, but I've rarely read things in order, anyhow. But when you're done with your Miles In Love...? *flutters eyelashes at you*

(I think I will likely buy them all, at some point, though.)

I also have Miles in Exile bindup (Borders of Infinity, Brothers in Arms and Mirror Dance) ready to lend.

Ooh, yes please!

A isn't going to be pleased. He thinks I should sleep, so I can do things like get up in the morning. Pah. :)
