Media Roll Call
Jan. 31st, 2013 10:16 pm4) Mrs. Pollifax On The China Station by Dorothy Gilman - Pretty standard Mrs Pollifax. Charming, pretty straight-forward, but with a very rushed climax and denouement. I do enjoy these books but I kind of lean more and more towards just keeping the very first one and unloading the others.
5) Loki: Nine Naughty Tales of the Trickster by Mike Vasich - ... I'm rather glad that I did not pay actual money for this. A series of some of the better known Loki-centric tales but suffering under the flag of Trying Too Hard (and some poor beta-reading). Parts of it were clever and some of the hints of depth given to Loki were intriguing but, over all, not brilliant. Though there was a fairly almost-clever bit of conceit at the end.
Tomorrow there will be gym and all sorts of adult, mature things... Like taking down the Christmas tree. Don't judge, okay? Everything else is down! Just, um... I haven't gotten around to that yet. At least I haven't been lighting it.
