Christa. She's back now, but I guess they don't merge past & present accounts.

42178 Yeah, thanks. I'm proud of him. He was part of a panel on technology, last year.
The illustrator, Yta, is his wife.
They're good people.

42178 I plead the fifth as both my MIL & BIL are now SPAs and my BIL was invited to the White House for his efforts. He is the author of Lauren Ipsum.
I can't link to it as I'm on my phone.

42178 Wishing you the best of luck and many happy reads!!

I don't have a particular feeling, one way or the other, about SPAs in general. My concern is usually about the quality of the book (well ebook, actually) - grammar, typos, etc.

Mine usually manifests in Netflix or gaming marathons, but I've managed to avoid both this time around. :)

42178 Skip Narnia .. You have a copy, frayed though it may be.

Research Supple ... Make sure it is really what you need, not just a knee-jerk reaction "want". If it will, in fact help you, then buy it now and subtract the extra $11 from your next budget.

42178 After trying for a little over a week, I finally decided to give up on Swan Song for now. I just couldn't get into it; I'm thinking its a mood thing. I plan to try again at a later date (possibly this summer).

Instead, I'm now reading A Nameless Witch by A. Lee Martinez.
I'm only 3 chapters (38 pgs.) in and I'm loving it.

42178 I may be experiencing my first slump of the year... I've found it very difficult to get into either Swan Song or Prince Caspian; both of which I am actually interested in reading (which is why I think this is a slump). So, I'm going to try and reboot myself (and help my series challenge along) with an MG read: M Is for Mama's Boy.

I really hope I can complete Swan Song before the end of the month though, so that I can fulfill my January challenge for FoF.

Summer Knight is my "first" favorite of the series! I hope you enjoy it even more than I did! :)
42178 Wow! Intimidating and impressive!!
