Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day!

My Godiva chocolate order got here yesterday so I have been nibbling on various truffles all day. I lurve me some truffles and I don’t get to eat them nearly as often as I’d like to.

Anyway, I hope your Valentine’s Day plans are more exotic than mine–here’s a hint, my plans involve doing homework and maybe getting a spot of writing done.

In the meantime, here’s this week’s Booking through Thursday.

Here’s something for Valentine’s Day.

Have you ever fallen out of love with a favorite author? Was the last book you read by the author so bad, you broke up with them and haven’t read their work since? Could they ever lure you back?

I have this relationship with Mercedes Lackey. As a teenager, I loved her books, and they are fun to revisit now and then, but I find some of her stuff pretty unreadable. (To wit, my most recent attempt to read her latest book in the Half-Blood Chronicles series.) Still, she does have some interesting ideas, and I do keep reading her, even though sometimes I get the impression she’s just churning the books out at this point.
