As Doomsday Approaches

The first doomsday (Property final) is Friday. And I need a 5-minute break from studying, so here goes.

I fit in a couple of free ebooks from Amazon while dogsitting this past week. Pippa of Lauramore was decent; not amazing, but I recommend it if you're looking for a free, quick, clean romance with a tiny helping of fantasy. Justice Calling had a lot of the same elements as Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series, but the protagonist was a D&D-playing nerd and less capable of kicking butt. If you're looking for an urban fantasy with shape-shifters and magic, I'd recommend Kate Daniels for more fleshed-out characters and plots.


Now I leave you with a few property memes. :)

Still Alive (Mostly)

So life is kicking my butt right now.

I have finals in two weeks. SO much work to do this weekend for that. Can you hear my mini heart attack? Yeah, that's normal. Ish. Normal-ish.

On the bright side, before the panic set in, I finally got to read Marked in Flesh! Full review to come as soon as I get a chance. But meanwhile, just know it's good. The Others series is good, I'm still enjoying it, and go read it all. :)

I'm still keeping on with the two pro bono projects and work and all that good stuff. I'm also waiting for second winter to end. It's so weird. When I get in the car in the morning, it's like 39 degrees, but it's 60-something or even 70 come afternoon. And it snowed! In April! Crazy.
