sleepy

have fun with your friends rae

Sleep well!

Well that was spectacularly LESS RP than I wanted but.....

At least I'm awake and aware now.

mmmm

I mean, as much as I ever am.

mmmhmm

Okay, Bujold's fantasy isn't typical, but she writes damned well. Made me chuckle with this line from one of the characters:

“There is this, about being the sparring partner of the best swordsman in Caribastos. I always lost. But if ever I meet the third best swordsman in Caribastos, he’s going to be in very deep trouble.”

nice!

Ok, so busy day here but I can post on and off. Have to scoot to a dental appt now. I'll be around.

Okay, Shady!

Oooo I love her Sci fi

this is because CJ is adorable, and requires cuddling

I may give it a chance, Rae. She's an eloquent writer, honestly I feel like im in a conversation with someone far more educated and intelligent than I listening to this audiobook. I'm sure I am.

CJ IS adorable damn it 🙂

Her Vorkosigan saga is great

It was addicting

I don't think I've read her

recognize the name though

This is the second book of hers I've read. The first was the The Curse of Chalion.

This one is the Paladin of souls.

Check out Shards of Honor if you are curious

Best place to start that saga

Fantasy set up in a kind of pseudo-Medieval spain .... five gods, and the people they use to fight demons and curses etc

Thank you, Rae. I'm more Fantasy than Sci Fi but good books is good books

I’m wary about sci-fi. Some seem more interested in “LOOK AT THE SCIENCE WE KNOW” and not “LISTEN TO THE STORY THAT TAKES PLACE IN SCIENCE”

I don’t CARE about the physics engine of your ship

Does it have green skinned space babes? No? Drat. Just good writing and interesting characters I'll root for? Well, DARN It, okay

the same issue with a lot of historical fiction. “Look LOOK, we know all these facts” Very good but I didn’t want a history lesson

Some history I don't want to read about in graphic detail, "As Lucus Augustus washed his mouth out with his own urine..."

Not too far off historically if I am told right, but really, please, no need to go into details on that.

Oh hey! Catnik! Apparently Bujold did a kind of Pioneer fantasy (from Wiki) : " the next fantasy world she created was the tetralogy set in the universe of The Sharing Knife, borrowing inspiration for its landscapes and for the dialect of the "farmers" from ones she grew up with in central Ohio.[24] She writes that her first readers who helped proofread it said she got it exactly right and they could recognize Ohio features in the descriptions and dialects."

Well, Iowa can't have ALL the magic

ooo

I haven't read it so I don't know if it sucks, or not but it was interesting to note.

i don't wanna g to work

yes, this

Hugs The show must go on, young minds need to be filled, Beezer wants her tuna etc.

yup

gotta earn the $$ for pate

...Bianca got stuck in the curtain again

Clearly a sign of Pate deficiency. More is needed

office achieved

woo!
