Tonight I had a book for work, so husband and I did not do the Valentine’s thing. I was in a rush to get it done tonight because we have friends in town from Austin tomorrow night. I succeeded in busting through the 384-page tome and got my report written in time for “Lost.”

I am such a fangirl (despite the disappointing start to the fall season) that I actually read the book they put out last summer that purported to be the book Sawyer was reading on the beach. It was not really worth the time I put into it–it didn’t reveal anything secret about the show nor was it very good in its own right. I felt like a fool for reading it, but at least it was short and didn’t take me very long.

For pleasure I’m about halfway through Throne of Jade, the second book in Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series. It’s even better than the first. Watch for a post by the weekend. After that, A Tale of Two Cities.
