In Atlanta we had “Fools’ Spring” this week. The temps went up to the low 80s for a couple of days. Then, of course, they dropped like a rock.
Little Hecate was spayed and microchipped this week, so she’s officially a big girl now – at all of 5 pounds soaking wet. Something that actually happens. Food is to eat, but water is to play with! (Unfortunately, so is iced tea!)
And this week’s schedule went into a blender. I started The Ruin of Kings, and it seems awesome – but it has footnotes. I don’t mind footnotes, but in an ebook they are at the end of the chapter, which is awkward. I got the audio and I’m hoping it will be like the audio of Ready Player One, where the footnotes were read just a bit sotto voce in their proper places in the text. Where they make sense. And I need an audio break from Recluce, not that I’m not loving the series. But they’re long, and I’ve been pretty deeply steeped in the series for months now. Time for a bit of a change.

An audio break is always good! I’ve been in a bit of an audiobook funk. Nothing has been catching my attention so I haven’t read/listened to any recently. I hope the audio for The Ruin Of Kings is better and you have a better reading experience.
I hope you have a wonderful week!

Yes, I had the long audiobook thing going on with the Deathstalker series where they were all 25-35 hours. I took a break and am ready to go back to the latest one after the romance books I’ve been reading for Valentine’s Day. Have a good week.
