archersangelanother trip around the sun & we are here again.
nothing special to report.
had lunch at golden corral. avoided anything with blue cheese & the small salad shrimp as i think that's what caused some "issues" before with my digestion. found a 3-part fantasy series at a book sale (proceeds go to a charity) that looked mildly interesting. i went back & forth over them, but if i don't like them at least the charity got something out of it.
speaking of books i just finished the parasol protectorate series by gail carriger (careful if you look up stuff about it. the blurbs on the back of book 2 & 3, possibly 5, spoil for the book before it) if you're a fan of steampunk, alternate history or a bit of paranormal romance, this is the series for you. i don't think it's a spoiler to say it's an interesting way to look at vampires, werewolves & ghosts as well as explanation for some of social rules of the 1800s. hatshepsut gets mentioned in the last book & in one of those coincidences the universe like to toss out now and then, the other book in my booksfree order this month is about hatshepsut.
some part of me wants some sort of cross-over between this & the amelia peabody series by elizabeth peters.
