Post #3...

So, I really should write down somewhere all the things I intend to blog about so I don't post three short entries in the space of two hours. (Maybe less. I'm not actually counting.)

I meant to mention that Ilona Andrews wrote about her connections to the funeral business over on League of Reluctant Adults today.* For the first time in what seems like ages, I actually dug someone else's description of the funeral world (I've mentioned before my love-hate feelings toward Six Feet Under, and how I'm not particularly keen on either My Girl or Fun Home, despite both being very well liked). There's a certain sense of humor required to work in the funeral business, and I love that she's drawing on that sense of death having to be funny in some way in her fiction. I've got Magic Bites out from the library--it's just behind Making Money, the first Hallowmere novel by tltrent, and the jfic I'm reading in hopes of coming up with a brilliant essay by the end of the month on my to read pile.

*Yes, I am plugging the League pretty much every day. They're bribing me with potential to win cool stuff. Thus, I cannot help myself. Free books is too good a possibility to pass up.

Sounds interesting I'll have to go take a read.

Oh and a reminder (poke poke) tomorrow is an Author Spotlight day on my blog. :)

Yes! I've been enjoying those! (And I've been meaning to ask--do I qualify as someone you know? I'd be delighted to join in the fun.)

Sure ya do. Also thinking about making Tuesdays a guest blogger day and Sat the spotlight day. might be fun to mix it up a bit. :)
