Me too, it's very good.
And I love that I told my library to get it on Tuesday, and by Thursday morning it was on my kindle. Awesome!

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cumin really tickles my funny bone. As it were.
If anyone else is wondering how to add their Goodreads books to the reading challenge with the iphone app-- which I asked a while ago-- I figured out that you have to add the book to "Currently Reading", and then update your progress to "finished". That adds it to the challenge when adding it to the "Read" list directly does not.
I am also wondering why I thought challenging myself to 150 books was a good idea. I have read 19 1/2.

The first time I upped the count on my reading challenge, I failed miserably. I haven't hit the original number again since. (FYI, you can adjust the number at any point up to the end of the year.)

Ok, Uprooted was just lovely. Reminded me of Patricia McKillip, actually.

Finished Discovery of Witches trilogy this evening. It was entertaining, if probably not worth the $10 I paid for it in a fit of fear I'd run out of book on my flight. And that takes me to 162 books read so far this year. Plus a few I'm half finished with here and there (some abandoned on my kindle, or at least abandoned until I can't find anything else I like, at least one non fiction that I have from the library in hardback and have only been reading at home because it's so unportable..) I think if my job changed, I would miss not only the actual travel, but the hours spent reading on planes.

I posted a review of Uprooted here: [link] (not spoilery for anything beyond the premise).

That was a gorgeous review, Consuela.
