Dear Me

Now that you have finished redistributing your spicy lentil and tomato soup from bowl to person, you can stop reading the author's blog and start reading the actual book, which you have had for hours now.

I am starting The Mirador* (by Sarah Monette). I may be some time.

Love, Me

*having been made extremely happy (not that they are 'happy' books) by Melusine and The Virtu, the first of which I was reviewing when The Mirador arrived -- see book blog for details -- and having read the first four chapters of The Mirador online, surreptitiously, at werk yesterday. Is what interweb is for. Yes.

I would strongly recommend going back to Melusine. I won't say you can ignore the plot, but my first read of the novel was very much character-oriented (and second read is turning into 'how does Plot reveal Character?', which is damned good practice.
