AWOL

For those who don’t read my other weblog, I’m incredibly busy right now, getting my house ready because my Grandmother is going to be moving in. So don’t expect much for the rest of the month.

But to make this at least slightly about books, Elizabeth and Mary: Cousins, Rivals, Queens by Jane Dunn is my bed time book. I’m getting a couple pages a night in, so I figure I’ll be finished with it in about a year. I’m enjoying learning all the history I missed in school, but I’m less impressed with the way the story is put together.

I’m also still reading China Mieville’s Perdido Street Station. I’ve been reading it since late spring, and it’s just not going very quickly. I’ve been reading it at lunch and on the PRT, so I’m getting only a couple of pages a day. I think the problem is that although the story is interesting, and the writing is good, it just hasn’t pulled me in to make me need to find out what happens next. But I will finish it. Eventually.
