Correction

Said on Wednesday that I had "tried" to read the third Sebastian St. Cyr mystery, but it turns out I actually did, in fact, read Why Mermaids Sing, by C.S. Harris, from cover to cover.  I was totally confused for a second because it was on my "read, now I need to find somewhere for them to live" shelf, instead of my "waiting to read" or my "started, moved on to something else, will come back to it" shelves, but then I flipped to a random page in the middle, and realized I not only knew the story, but knew how it ended.  So, clearly not the most life-changing of books, but I do think I enjoyed reading it in a desultory, casual way.  And I will almost certainly read whatever the next book is in the series, at some point.  Although not because I am dying to figure out what is going on with the main character's personal life, the amazing tribulations, twists, and turns of which have actually been disappointingly predictable.  And when unintentional incest and maybe dead / maybe not dead people  are predictable, and it's not a soap opera, that's pretty sad.  But now I am thinking I am totally going to spend some time this weekend watching General Hospital, instead of doing my essays, homework, or taxes, yay!  Of course, I also have a gajillion books apparently waiting for me to be picked up from Widener and the BPL, plus the random ones I've been picking up recently, so I should really focus on my fun reading, at the very minimum - someone's recalled Wench, from me & it's due 4/1 now, so that at least has to be read!  Don't even remember what it's about, but the title still makes me giggle, so I am looking forward to it.  Should be finishing up the P.D. James I got the other day, Innocent Blood, some time this evening, given that I have some extra time on the bus getting to and from my electrolysis appointment.  Not looking forward to that, but am just going to try and lay back and think of England...er, hairless armpits.  As If An Enemy's Country is also waiting for me to pick it up, but I think that I will be in too much pain to focus on that, so James it is...and then Wench!  Hehehe.  Yep, makes me laugh every time - God help me if it ends up being some super serious book.
