Book: Phoenix

Author: Steven Brust

Details: (c) 1988 Steven KZ Brust; Pub 2002 Ace; ISBN 0-441-00894-1

Verdict: Phoenix is really well-crafted and emotionally intense.

Reasons for reading it: It's the next in the Vlad Taltos series which I've enjoyed so far. I promised cartesiandaemon I'd finish it before seeing him so I could lend him this volume which contains the fourth and fifth books.

How it came into my hands: I bought it from Amazon.

rysmiel, thank you so much for bringing these to my attention!

Anniversary

Happy birthday to darcydodo, who has been adding to the joy in the world for 28 years and in my life for nearly ten.

Also, happy fifth LJ-versary to me. I want to write a long post about why I don't think I'll make it to a decade here, and quite possibly not even to a sixth anniversary. But not now because...

I need to get organized to travel to Holland tomorrow! Which means I will get to see rav_hadassah, and cartesiandaemon, for whom it is just as easy to get to Amsterdam as to Stockholm, is going to join us. I am looking forward to a really relaxing long weekend with lovely people.

Right now I have tea and pancakes (every Thursday is pancake day in Sweden. I like this country).
