My intention to post about a different book every day has come to seem hopelessly optimistic. I have been temping at the libraries more or less full time and just have not found much time to read or blog lately. Next week I am working 6 days and have two interviews scheduled and am hoping the following week I will begin as a regular, benefited type.
Meanwhile I did get around to finishing Leaping To The Stars, and I liked it. The main characters did seem to continue to grow and develop and the adventure continued unabated, with another kidnapping, another secret plot and lots more surprises. I was much slower than Charles to trust Jmee again (she being the girl who had betrayed him and his family back in book one) and there were again times when the middle aged author rather than the juvenile character seemed to be speaking the long soliloquies, but overall the book works and it’s fun. And sometimes, that’s enough.

Cool! I love SF too. I read a lot of it and love SF movies. Curious what you thought of Pan’s Labyrinth? You can catch my review of it on my blog, The Alien Next Door at this link: http://sfgirl-thealiennextdoor.blogspot.com/2007/05/pans-labyrinth-innocence-has-power-evil-cannot-resist.html

I put in a hold for Pan’s library, but there are 127 requests ahead of me and 31 copies circulating so it will be a while. I love your blog btw. Now that I have seen just how much work it is to keep up with good posts ever day, I really admire what you’ve done. I am not a total SF buff, btw, I read in lots of genres and have a personal history with david gerrold that colors my perception of his work
