Books 2011 - 5

A Red Heart of Memory - Nina Kiriki Hoffman - interesting book, a good read. A book about putting yourself and other people back together.

License to Pawn - Rick Harrison - I like the show, and this is very much a piece of it. It fills in the backstory of the people in the show somewhat.



On the nook - yes, I have a new nook! Details in the next post.

Half a Crown - Jo Walton - third of the Farthing series. I want to believe in the ending.

Venetia - Georgette Heyer - very sweet and amusing book. I have a fondness for Heyer, though

A Marriage of Inconvencience - Susanna Frazer - nice modern Regency romance. The ending was a bit abrupt, but otherwise a good book.


Year's total: 97

Update on the life!

So, life seems rather nice lately.

Last month, I started a new job. I work in a grease factory, and I am liking it a lot. I spend my days figuring out problems, mixing up new formulas, and learning how to do ASTM tests on grease. It is fun.

My parents gave me a nook for graduation. Graduated with an MS in Chem E. Bittersweet.

I knew that this month I was travelling a lot - to CA for work, and FL for a wedding. The nook looked like the best choice in e-reader for me, and I have been enjoying it immensely. It is fairly easy to use; it shows black and white pictures from the texts. It is small enough to carry around in my largeish purse, but large enough to be good to read on.

I have bought a lot of books already for it, and loaded up stuff from gutenberg and the legal pdfs that some publishers have given away.

It is my new favorite thing.
