Jun. 1st, 2012 01:48 pmMy life is so damn hard.
I just finished reading 'Changes' - the next-to-last Dresden Files novel. And... stupid Jim Butcher. Stupid series. Stupid cliffhanger ending. The next book is out, of course. I have my Nook sitting next to me. I am about three finger-taps from having the follow-up in my eager little hands.
Except.... yesterday I was at Barnes & Noble, escaping the heat and browsing the Sci Fi ghetto (which is no longer a ghetto, and now one of the biggest sections in the store), and I noticed that the newest Wild Cards novel is finally out, and I splurged and bought it. I've been waiting for this book for almost a year, and it looks like they're finally leaving behind the plot I hated to go in an awesome new direction.
Of course, all of this is coming on the heels of my realization that I was two books behind on the Parasol Protectorate series, as a coworker pointed out to me a few weeks ago. So I also have the fourth book in that, downloaded to my beloved e-reader about the day after I started reading 'Changes,' with the idea that I'd read it as soon as I was done with that.
(Plus, there's a Charles DeLint novel on my nightstand at home. Some things I still need to own in paper.)
So many books, and I want to read them all Right Now, and it's incredibly unfair. Especially because my next appointment just got here (20 minutes late, of course), rendering it impossible for me to actually sit down and read.
Life is just cruel.
