Sep. 8th, 2011 11:23 pmI am making chicken soup. This is by way of terrifying away all illness.
I have sorted my review books (I only read 2 1/2 books today because I had a sudden thought about a fun article to write and that necessitated a reconsidering. If I can read a mere eight more books by Monday, then I shall have two pieces ready to go and be very pleased with myself*. In fact, I'm very pleased with myself now, because all but one of those eight books are speculative fiction. I have to read fun stuff. Oh no!
I have Real News.
The cookbook looks splendid, I'm told, and is at the printers. I have a copy of the cover and it's very elegant. I suppose someone ought to organise for it to be webbed so that we can all link to it, but every single someone involved with the cookbook is a bit busy (meaning: totally snowed under). This means that you'll have to take my word for it that it's seriously, seriously cool. Kathleen Jennings and Andrew McKiernan are a very wonderful art/design combo.
*I forgot! 8 1/4 more books and three articles, which will bring me right up to date. I forgot the 1/4 because, oddly, it overlaps with my novel and with the Beast: I'm reading it for three purposes at once. This is why I can't wash dishes - it would push my multiskilling beyond anything sane.
