So, I've got a blog . . . Now what?

Everyone seems to be jumping on the blog bandwagon so I thought I'd give it a go as well. Haven't really got a clue what I'm going to talk about, but that's never really stopped me from saying something, so . . .

Read, read, read

I haven't felt the urge today to pick up any of my crafty projects, but I did feel in the mood to read. I've managed to finish half the book I'd barely started before I was laid off. It's a book I got through my membership in the Science Fiction Book Club. It's called The Fair Folk and is edited by Marvin Kaye. As far as I can tell, the book is an exclusive to the SFBC. It contains "Uous" by Tanith Lee, "Grace Notes" by Megan Lindholm (a.k.a Robin Hobb), "The Gypsies in the Wood" by Kim Newman, "The Kelpie" by Patricia A. McKillip, "An Embarrassment of Elves" by Craig Shaw Gardner, and "Except the Queen" by Jane Yolen and Midori Snyder.

So far, I've read "Uous", "Grace Notes", and I'm half way through "The Gypsies in the Wood". I very much enjoyed the first two stories - the Lee about being careful what you wish for and the Lindholm about the interesting ramifications of scorn. "The Gypsies in the Wood" is the first Newman I've read and so far I enjoy it. I actually bought the book because of the McKillip since she has become one of my favorite authors. I can't wait to get to that story.

I've checked email and done all the 'net things I usually do so I think I shall fix myself some lunch and bury myself in the book again.

Later, 'gators!
