I finished another book on my currently-reading stack, and pushed a bookmark along in a third. I seem to be pursuing a LIFO policy, partly for convenience and partly because I'm a mental b
utterfly. I just finished
Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception by Magie Stiefvater, an interesting bad-faerie tale with a musical twist. My son tried to steal it while I was reading it, but I told him he could have it for the kids' 24-Hour-Challenge we are running in the midst of my Grown-Ups only 48-Hour Challenge.
Read:
9:45 - midnight (with occasional short breaks to yell at the kids to go to bed already). Time for some non-fiction before bed.

Are you going to read Ballad now that you've read Lament? Folks seem very split about which one they like best--I am firmly in the Ballad camp!
I just put in my library request for Ballad, so we'll see;
I wish my kid would steal my books!
Couldn't get kid-cages big enough? ;) I like the idea of running a 24-hour readathon in the midst of the 48-hour one. Are you going to blog the kids' reading too?
I read Lament awhile back, and I have Ballad on my list, so I'll be interested to hear your opinion.
Kids stealing my books are among my favorite things. I'm not sure he'll really like that one; he's only 11 and young with it (he's just been tested for Asperger's type stuff). He ran off with my copy of Leonard Sax's Boys Adrift this morning.
Yeah, my Aspie runs about 2 years younger emotionally (though tests at grad school level in some academic areas.) It's pretty common. I'd br interested to know how the testing comes out.
