So, yesterday was my mom's birthday. I made the cake!
Triple layer strawberry cake, from The Cake Doctor book. Very yummy! Though, unfortunately, I went with store-bought icing, and all those strawberries went sliiiiiding off the cake during the car drive over to my parents'. :( So they got stuck back on with toothpicks. Stab!
I haven't been getting much reading done, since I've been concentrating on writing and quilting, but I did (finally!) finish The Silent Tower (369pp) by Barbara Hambly. I'm not sure what to think of what's happening in it, but it is very much set up as the first part of a series. Additionally, it takes about a third of the way into the book for the two disparate universes in it to start to mesh. So, maybe not recommended at this juncture?
And I also bit the bullet, used up my January allowance, and purchased a physical copy of Penric's Demon (135pp) by Lois McMaster Bujold. I finally have the whole series in book form! And I've determined that I reallyreally like reading a physical book over a digital one. (Wonderful Husband is the opposite.) Rereading this in a physical format was a completely different experience than reading it on a screen. Much love for Penric and Desdemona! And now I want to reread the whole series. Preferably in internal chronology order. Maybe by the time I finish, Subterranean Press will actually have gotten Knot of Shadows printed and in the mail to me. :)
