Got the vax Thursday, sore arm at the vax site Friday, achey vax site Saturday, marginal today. A bit more tired than usual, a few pinchy headaches that aren't usual but went away with the application of glasses of water.

I may have spent a couple of days DOING ALL THE THINGS because, well, I'm me.

Also, I am wondering if the psychology of me DOING ALL THE THINGS is because I haven't managed to do the Thing That I Always Wanted To Do which is get published. Of course, I haven't actually managed to finish a manuscript either, so there's that.

I am presently re-reading Meljean Brooks' Guardians series, which is the kind of urban fantasy that I aspire to. Does it sell? I have no idea, but it's right up my alley with the worldbuilding and the arching plots, and the variety of characters. I have bought and am reading another two Midnight Breed books. Which are, as usual, disappointing. They are always disappointing and yet I can't help but click 'buy now'.

Oh, and the period has turned up, which this time appears to mean a slow easing into the bloodletting over two days and then all of a sudden it's 'murder bathroom'time. *sigh*

Finished a scrap quilt last night, have started up my handpiecing project again.

I have gotten swallowed by the Murderbot books by Martha Wells. Definitely scifi and not urban fantasy. I'm totally intrigued by these books and want to read them all. They're very short, so they go quickly.

I have Stephen Blackmoore's latest, Bottle Demon, which is urban fantasy. I like his work a lot. So I'll probably read it after I've burned through the six Murderbot books.

Huh. I wonder if I've read that. I will tell you that I'm crazy about the Murderbot series. It's good.

Interesting. I think that it's hard to write a tie-in that suits everyone. For example, all the CSI tie-in novels never focused on the characters I liked the best. I don't think I've ever read an SGA tie-in.
