I just finished reading “Children of Paranoia” by Trevor Shane, which was an ARC via the folks at Dutton. I quite liked it, and will post the review later this week. Am currently reading Magebane by Lee Arthur Chane (a DAW ARC), and this is turning out very nicely too. I’m taking part in the R.I.P. Reading Challenge<\/a>, so both these books count towards it. The non-ARC that I recently read was Alexander McCall Smith’s “The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party” which I loved so much that I made a post of the excerpts that I wanted to remember<\/a>. So, yes, I’ve been having a good reading streak.<\/p>\n

Lately, I’ve been having a hard time finding time to read. Bedtime is when I read, so I need to go to bed at a reasonable time (i.e.; around 10) to have time to read. I try not to read in the daytime, because when I read time passes by oh-so-quickly, and I could read all day. Plus when I do do that, and the book is so addictivly good, it kind of gets stuck to my fingers, and I have to pry it loose; the kids take hold of the book, and the husband pulls me in the other direction. Of course, the prying hurts; need you even ask? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Until next Sunday then, Happy Reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
