THURSDAY

I pushed water really hard this noon for the blood draw and apparently it made a huge difference. At 2pm the nurse found a BIG vein and used the regular needle without a hitch. It still left a nasty bruise on my inner arm but at least it was only one poke. I stopped at the library on the way home to pick up the first half of Days of Snow and Ashes on CD as I'm very nearly finished listening to The Fiery Cross.

I've been reading Bujold stories, too, and am amazed the library doesn't have any of her work. I've got to take several bags of paperbacks in to trade and hope I can find more Bujold books there.

Can you do Interlibrary loan for Bujold books?

I'm waiting a bit to read the newest Diana Gabaldon. I love the series but have most of it in the trade ppbk and am waiting until it comes out in that edition.

Fiery Cross is my second least favorite of the series (Dragonfly in Amber is my least favorite because it is too heart wrenching for me.). There are bits that go off on tangents that aren't really necessary and just make it longer. How many hrs. of reading do that many pages equal out to?

Hope you enjoy the stories!

Oh, but her tangents are so realistic. And as far as I'm concerned, when I'm enjoying a book the longer it lasts the better. I do LOVE an extended and complicated series like this. I haven't gotten to read the new one yet, either. I haven't seen it at the library but I assume it's checked out solidly. I'll put in a request when I'm partway into Snow and Ashes though. I wanted to refresh my memory on what's going on as it's been a long time coming.
