Well, so far I've spent my holidays sleeping a lot (as in 'oh, it's 11am, how did that happen?'), drinking too much wine (note to self: vodka seems to be less problematic in this area), not eating as much as I'd expected to, watching the second Pirates movie and making unseemly squeaking noises when Tom Hollander appeared onscreen as I had no idea he was in it, telling carol singers who turned up at my house at 9.30pm to go away (politely), and reading two books of a trilogy (Greg Keyes - Kingdom of Thorn and Bone, which is excellent) so I could finally get around to reading the third.Oh, and when I went to fix some broken links on my recs pages, I discovered I can't log into my website at the moment. Grrr.
Speaking of trilogies, that's the thing that annoys me most about my local library system. They buy a bunch of fantasy books, many of which are multi-book series, and then when they circulate the books around the different branches they split the series up. Surely that's counterproductive? I mean, the book I'm reading at the moment is the third book of the series and I'm only the second person to get it out since August 2006 when it turned up at this branch. It's only that I've had the first two in paperback for ages and have been waiting patiently for the paperback of book 3 to come out that I finally succumbed.
