Reading Update
Fearless, 
In Shining Armor, and 
Legend Has It (Pax Arcana #3-5) by Elliott James. Good series about John Charming, former member of the Knights Templar, not-quite-werewolf, trouble magnet. Book 5 sort of felt like it could be the last book…
Charmed I’m Sure, 
Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls, 
Pushing Luck, 
Surreal Estate, 
Dog-Gone, 
Bulls Rush In, 
Talking Dirty, and 
Low Elf Esteem (Pax Arcana .01 – .08) by Elliott James. These eight short stories are set before the five main Pax Arcana novels and tell the tale of how one John Charming ended up in bartending in Clayburg.
Sin & Shadows and 
Ghosts & Echoes, 
Gods & Monsters, and 
Lies & Omens (Shadows Inquiries 1-4) by Lyn Benedict. Decent urban fantasy series about a PI who’s kind of mean to everyone around her as she charges blindly forward… Also, this is an entire and complete series, which is nice.
“When will the birds be back???” -Mayhem
I personally use BOTH patio furniture and a pink flamingo to measure the snow.
It’s always nice when you start a series that has been finished, I love knowing that the whole thing is completed and waiting for me. It’s nice to get to anticipate a book too, but I’m more likely to forget by the time it’s released. (Forget plot details, forget characters, forget about the series entirely…)
I enjoyed the Pax Arcana series too, but even if the most recent book wasn’t the last one I might be done with it. I was kinda over the MC’s voice & attitude by the end of the last book.
So hopeful about the presidential candidates for 2020. Now we just have to keep our own from trashing our (and their!) candidates… >.>
I am SO SICK Of the ugly food movement. Get real, people! Argh! (Sorry. It’s just that some of my Facebook friends “like” those pages, and so I get to see lots of ads for it.)
I can’t look at any more Curiosity stuff. Makes me cry. Over a rover. Positive side: humanizing the rovers seems to have helped spur interest in the space program again. Whatever works, I guess.
