FF: Where Have All the Hours Gone?

News Flash: The sale on the e-book of��Changer for only 99 cents is winding down. ��Sale ends May 2.

Lots of catching up and friends visiting from out of town, so I didn���t get nearly as much time to read.�� But I���m writing ��� including a new short story ��� so I can���t complain.

Just in case you don���t know��� The Friday Fragments feature lists of what I���ve read over the past week. ��Most of the time I don���t include either short fiction or magazine articles.

The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list.�� If you���re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.

Time Racing By!

Once again, this is not a book review column.�� It���s just a list with, maybe, a few opinions tossed in.

Recently Completed:

The Pinhoe Egg by Diana Wynne Jones.�� Audiobook. ��Although there was good closure, I found I had questions.�� How did the Pinhoes manage to hide their secret so long with Chrestomanci Castle so near?���� Had Gaffer Farley done something new?�� What did I miss?

Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan issues 20-24 by Hiroshi Shiibashi.�� Manga.�� Not one of the most innovative as to plot and characters, but the inclusion of a wide variety of supernatural creatures and tie-in to past history keeps me interested.

In Progress:

The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex.�� Audiobook.�� Just started.�� Recommended by Chad Merkley, a reader of the Friday Fragments!

Also:

I haven���t gotten to the The Tao de Ching.�� Too tired by the time I get to bed.

And lots of scattered research for three different projects!
