Scott had Monday off. We took Delia to Barnes & Noble to spend the $10 gift card she got in her stocking. I also wanted to look around to make a list of books I might consider buying for my e-reader. I was drawing a blank on the subject, and having books to read seems fairly crucial in trying out an e-reader. I didn't find much-- My distaste for urban fantasy and disinclination to try really long books means that 90% of what's on the shelf won't work for me.
Book recommendations would be appreciated, but I don't how easy it is to figure out my taste. I like almost no urban fantasy. I read middle grade fantasy and SF. I like very few mysteries, and those tend to appeal to me for reasons other than the mystery. I like some romances, but again, that's often for reasons other than the romance. I like some YA fantasy and SF but avoid dystopias. Feel free to ask me more questions about what I like or don't.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Delia had friends over to play. I did very little.
Friday, Scott took as a vacation day. We intended to clean and otherwise get ready for New Year's Eve, but we mostly didn't. Scott did the grocery shopping.
( New Year's Eve )
Yesterday was a day of not doing much. Even Delia slept until ten. In the afternoon, she had a friend over. I successfully borrowed an e-book from our library. Now all I have to do is successfully read it. It keeps crashing every few pages. Possibly the e-reader is not as compatible with Overdrive as it's supposed to be. I hope that's not the case. I suppose I'll see.
Today, Scott has the day off. We're planning a trip to Meijer's for muffin mixes. Beyond that, I don't know what we'll do.
