We're moving. J and I will be relocating to the Twin Cities on Wednesday this week. almejor has my contact info, or you can email me or call in the next day or so if you need it right away. Otherwise I'll be updating folks on a piecemeal basis over the next month, which is about my usual approach.
The best books I read this month were all re-reads so far: indulged in a binge of reading old favorites to celebrate school being over. Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner, as a sequel is finally coming out (a proper sequel, not a prequel); The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner because I felt rushed the first time I read it and it's such a good, intensely realistic book (especially for a Juv/YA fantasy); and Wilhelmina Baird's Crashcourse and Psykosis (though sadly not Clipjoint, which my used bookstore binges have yet to turn up a copy of).
We packed to move and I realized that we had more than 7 large boxes of books and 3 of videos/dvds. Disturbing. When we have new jobs our first purchases will have to be bookcase items. My book collection is... ummm... eclectic? Ranging from a couple law books from the late 1800s to Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, which is 14th century history, to piles of the latest Nora Roberts type stuff, lots of vampire novels and comic books, odd classical history stuff - like a copy of Trevelyan's A Shortened History of England, that is up soon on my to-be-read list.
Bleh. Moving is weird. Finding new jobs is intimidating. Trying to coast on a few days of not thinking. To which end we ate ourselves to catatonia at Victory's Banner this afternoon, and tomorrow we'll go see X-Men 3. Gotta love those mutants in leather. Rah.
