Sometimes they make you cry

[cornerofmadness]

One of the biology/chemistry students made gifts for us in ceramics class and left it at my door with a note telling me how much I've meant to her and how much she enjoyed my personality. It was so very sweet. I almost cried. Here's what she made me.




I went in gave the early exam. Everyone showed up who was supposed to (unlike for some of my coworkers). I'm ready for all the tomorrow exams (all three of them)

What I Just Finished Reading:
You'll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus I was not impressed by this YA

Diamonds & Dirt by Stephanie LaVigne, short novel with a really dumb end.




What I am Currently Reading:

The Shotgun Arcana by R.S. Belcher that I picked up at the steampunk symposium and I am loving this historical urban fantasy/weird west

Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki this is so weird and so slow going. I know it's up for an award (or was, maybe it won by now) but I just can't find a character in it I like.





What I Plan to Read Next:

Queen of Thieves: The True Story of "Marm" Mandelbaum and Her Gangs of New York
by J. North Conway (It has such a bad rating, but I own this thing so I'm giving it a try)

♥♥♥ You so deserve this, but it's really sweet to also get such a lovely token of appreciation!

[cornerofmadness]

thank you and it really is

[spikedluv]

How sweet! And the mug looks really cool!

My library has both of your current reads, so I've added them to my list.

(I think your coding is borked up. This post looks like one big paragraph.)

[cornerofmadness]

it's a cool mug

I can say if you're going to get The Shotgun Arcana you really need to read book one The Six Gun Tarot because this won't make much sense without it

yeah I couldn't figure it out but apaprently it was the auto formating

[spikedluv]

I wasn't clear, but I did put the first book on my list!

[cornerofmadness]

Ah cool. Some series you can jump in anywhere. this ain't one of them

[spikedluv]

The thought of jumping in anywhere gives me the hives. *g* Though I have done it once, and not too long ago. I always feel like I'm missing something if I do that.

[cornerofmadness]

I don't mind in mysteries so much since they're mostly stand alone if you ignore the inevitable romance but not so much fantasy. I need to read them from the beginning so I get annoyed AF with Netgalley when they don't say something is book 2

That was so sweet of them!

It was probably a very nice surprise.

[cornerofmadness]

It really was

[suzume]
