Well, as usual I find that I'm currently reading three books at once. I'm still reading A Wizard of Mars, by Diane Duane, but I've also begun the new Bahzell Bahnakson book -- The Sword of the South, by David Weber (having completely skipped War Maid's Choice, which is still on my wish list), and tonight BookBub had Dreaming Spies, by Laurie R. King, on sale for $1.99. It's one of her Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes series and I think it's set just before Locked Rooms, since it's set in Japan and there were references in Locked Rooms to something that happened to them in Japan on their way from India.
That is, I'm reading three books at once when I have time to read at all. It's been a difficult week, and here it is only Wednesday. Roger (my husband) managed to fall and ruin his walker Saturday (thankfully the walker took the brunt of it), so I've been busy looking for new walkers (I found a great deal on Drive Medical Deluxe Two Button Folding Walker Silver | Walgreens this is identical to the one he just ruined; we can get two of them for just ~$45, and anything over $35 comes with free shipping) so we're probably going to get both a replacement and a spare, but in the meantime we had to find a loaner to keep him mobile until the new walkers come. And then I found out today that Luvsome Cat Food (Kroger store brand and the only canned food that Jasmine will consent to eat) is having some kind of distribution problem and the boxes are "temporarily unavailable." They were unable to tell me just how temporary it will be, so I grabbed all the loose cans they had in flavors Jasmine will eat that I could reach (tall shelf, short woman). Fortunately they were on sale for $0.49/can, but it means that I'm buying a lot more cans at once than I normally do. And I'm supposed to be going to MileHiCon this weekend; this is going to make money very short for the con. I need to talk with Roger about it, but he's working late tonight. ( I hope that means he's actually making some money, not just playing computer games at the office.) I think I need to give him a call and then go to bed; I have to get up tomorrow.
