Healing vibes

Please send healing wishes to my friend and work partner Beckett Gladney, who broke her leg yesterday. :-( See her husband's blog for details. Beckett's surgery went well, but she'll probably be on crutches for 6-8 weeks.



I've almost reached Buffalo in my Virtual Con Walk, following the Niagara River. I've been listening to a lot audio during my walks, including going through the archives of Escape Pod and PodCastle.

My recent favourite: Come Lady Death by Peter S. Beagle. It's about 41 minutes long, and you can listen to it right on the website if you don't have an MP3 player.

I've also started borrowing audiobooks from the library. Most recent listen: Adrift on an Ice-Pan by Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell. I've always been a fan of survival stories.

Most recent print book reads:

A Girl Named Disaster by Nancy Farmer. I very much enjoyed House of the Scorpion so was intrigued when I saw this book by the same author. Very different story setting but engrossing as well as inspiring. As I mentioned before, I love survival stories!

Doomsday Book by Connie Willis (re-read). It's been so long since I had read this that I had forgotten many of the details. Yes, it's somewhat depressing (one of the complaints I've heard about the book) but it's SO well-written, and I found all the historical details fascinating.
