Scant Consolations

Man, The King of Attolia is a good book. Being in the throes of revisions, I picked it up just now to see if I could find a wasted scene to make me feel better, and I couldn't find one.

Then I started reading and didn't want to put it down, which is silly since I've already read it twice in the past six months.

*shakes fist in general direction of the US* CURSE YOU, MEGAN WHALEN TURNER!

For not writing the next book already, I mean..

At this moment, I am SO tempted to stop at the bookstore on my way home today and buy these books and stay up all night reading them instead of working on the presentation I have to give in research group meeting tomorrow....

You know you want to...

But I have a better idea. How about you buy them as a treat for yourself AFTER the presentation? For being a good girl and all. And then you'll have something brain-bending obsessively compelling emotionally devastating nice to look forward to!

OK, now I HAVE to read them. But I already have so many books checked out from the library! And so many more on my list that are soon to be checked out--being a children's librarian really feeds the addiction at an alarming rate.
