Wherein I Get Something Fun in the Mail Today...
Came home from grocery shopping to find this on my front porch this morning:
Yes, the ARCs for Bone River have arrived, and they look fabulous!
In other news, I did read more Balzac--this time The Firm of Nucingen, which I rated a three--more Eugene Rastignac, so how could I resist?--and I have downloaded Cousin Bette, but am taking a break to read other things for a bit.
Also, I've been baking all day for my father's wedding anniversary this week (Lemon Meringue pie AND Mile-High Chocolate Mousse pie) and also for my Mother's very significant birthday party (a showstopper chocolate cake that's supposed to be a surprise, so I can't mention it here, but which requires sheets and sheets of chocolate meringue sticks), and am trying to get it all done before the temperatures in my part of the world soar into the unbearable 90s (it's not the heat, it's the lack of air conditioning--those of us who live here have chosen it for its temperate climate, dammit). Then I was going to work. Really I was. But now it's 4:30 and I'm tired. So ... tomorrow....
And I'm looking forward to Shark Week. I can hardly wait to see Sharkzilla.
