Oh, no problem! Don't feel bad. I've had one of those long days today
sweatdrop We had an event at work today that ended at about 6pm and we finally left around 6:30. I live about 1hr and some change from where the event was... and that's without traffic

Anyhoo, Anne Bishop sounds familiar but I can't think of any books off the top of my head. I'll definitely put it on my "to look into" list. I just finished... or rather I thought I finished this series and found out there are 3 more books about another character but still with the original character as the focus... anyhoo... The first book is called Kushiel's Dart. It's pretty great... I'll ramble about it later if you are interested. The other series is Inda and that book set was so wonderful. Hehe, I'm trying not to go into too much detail about each book but I LOVE talking about books.
Yeah, I have that feeling every so often... (being too old for gaia) but not often enough or long enough to keep me away. Besides, I've meet cool people on gaia who are grandparents so I think mid-20's isn't bad

Welp, my turn to crash. Have a great night and an even better tomorrow!
That sounds like my drive to and from work every day.
rofl Maybe not that bad... 45ish minutes to work and then an hour to an hour and fifteen on my way home in traffic. I get to listen to lots of music and audiobooks.
3nodding What kind of work event, if you don't mind me asking?
If you like traditional fantasy novels with feministic undertones, Anne Bishop is your gal. Her flagship is the Black Jewels trilogy. My library has weeded the last copy of "Kushiel's Dart" so I requested it through ILL. We'll see how long it takes for me to get it.
3nodding I'm a big book person myself. I'm a librarian, so....
Back ^_^ So commutes, My drive to work is 45mins-ish without traffic in the morning and 1hr-1:30 with traffic. If I take the HOV it's about 35-40mins if the HOV isn't backed up. On the way back, if I leave between 3 and 4 its about 45mins. One minute after. It's minimum an hr... I stopped looking at the clock while I drive... And spotify has many driving playlists

I work for a non-profit and yesterday we had a clayshoot where donors paid for teams and got to travel the gun club trails to shoot clay. We also had raffles and auction items. It was a lot of fun. I'd never been to a gun club before, nor have I shot clay. I was too busy to get a chance to try it though... Anyhoo...
I love fantasy. I love women (myself included) and I really want to say I have heard of or at least started to read the black jewels trilogy... are they named Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald? I think i read Emerald and Ruby if that's the correct book. -too lazy to google atm...-
Kushiel's Dart is a great series! I highly recommend it. It's one of those stories where you just NEED to know what's going to happen next. I think Inda stole my heart more because the characters really spoke to me and you get to see them grow up. It's like, your best friend has this mad adventure and is telling you about it... in 3rd person

And... I'm home late again so I'm gonna shower and then do responsible adult stuff before I crash again.
Have a good night and an amazing tomorrow!
