Seems like an age since I last posted, though it was only Tuesday, but since that was pre-graduation day I can understand why - life has been a bit of a whirl this week, what with taking a couple of days off because my mother was visiting to see me don the cap and gown. If you want to know more about my special day, let me know in the comments and I'll wax lyrical...

Meanwhile, the book blog continues apace as I try my hardest to read my own weight in books. Or work my way through the literary equivalent of my annual council tax, whichever comes first. I'm currently on book #44 (Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin, which needs to get better real soon, or it really will be history!).

The last list I posted was for February and March, so here's another one of what I've read since then, and there's plenty more waiting in the TBR pile (both library and bought, for which my bank manager thanks me):

Temeraire: Black Powder War by Naomi Novik
Black Sun Rising by Celia Friedman
The Curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters
The Year of Our War by Steph Swainston
The Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld
A Conspiracy of Violence by Susanna Gregory
Resurrectionist by James McGee
Keeping It Real by Justina Robson
The Fire's Stone by Tanya Huff
Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner
Cuba Libre by Elmore Leonard
The Shadow Walker by Michael Walters
The Somnabulist by Jonathan Barnes
Hinterland by James Clemens
The Pale Blue Eye by Louis Bayard
Dawnthief by James Barclay
A Very English Agent by Julian Rathbone
The Skull Mantra by Eliot Pattison
World's End by Mark Chadbourn
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
Cold Hunter's Moon by KC Greenlief
Temeraire: Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik
The Sultan's Seal by Jenny White

However, this weekend's major job now I've decompressed from the maternal visit is to get some writing done on my Wild Wild West story before the baying editors hunt me down with torches (the firey kind, not the UK flashlight equivalent), though technically I have till early September to pacify them with New Orleans-themed fic of some description.

That's for tomorrow. I'm off to bed now, so sweet porny dreams to one and all! :)
