Reading Update
Street Magic (Black London #1) by Caitlin Kittredge. Pretty good London-based urban fantasy about a detective inspector who discovers the informant she’s meeting is the mage she thought died over a decade ago – a death that left her traumatized. We’ll see how far I make it into this series…
“…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…” -Chaos
Oh, at last, home for a nice Friday morning time suck with linkity! I had to get a new car (2012 – I had a 15 year old focus) and I can’t even figure out how the entertainment system works, never mind how to change the oil. Glad I have some time to figure it out!
Those stick figures were funneh
And now I’ll join Chaos for an hour of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Does the rainbow mean you’re having nice weather?
Poor boring Chaos. Where’s May?
I always love looking at rainbows. Although not as good as in person, the photo is still very nice.
I’ve been reading some UF so I’ll have to keep Street Magic in mind.
I need cat lady dresses!!!!!
So now what am I going to do with all those iPants I bought?
I love rainbows – do you see double rainbows? They are pretty amazing when they occur.
I am amused by the cat dresses.
