books, books, and more books (and some sickness)

[quillpunk]

I got more money than I expected from various relatives over the holidays and in the end, I successfully bought 13 books from my wishlist! (They're paperbacks, that's why I couldn't buy more. Like, these are all self-published through Amazon and unavailable anywhere else, and I refuse to use kindle, so... paperbacks it is.) In fact, I picked them up today and after the morning I had, this is awesome.

So this morning I woke up because my head hurt. I took meds for that, spent an hour turning in bed without the headache receding, and then threw up.

I haven't thrown up in years, not since surgery. (TV lies to you. Sometimes morphine just makes you throw up.) I am wildly unhappy with this but silver lining; because I was up taking meds I wasn't wearing my retainer when things went wrong.

Anyway, I haven't thrown up again, the headache is mildly better, and now I'm just lazying about trying to figure out if the soda I put in the fridge has gotten cold yet. Also I'm reading A DUKE FOR A LADY—which isn't one of the books I bought, it's from the library and the loan expires next week. So. Gotta get on that first.

Anyway, I hope you're having a better day than me. 😅

Gotta love the garbage that our bodies put us through.

How was Something Fabulous?

so i haven't actually finished Something Fabulous—i keep getting side-tracked by fanfictions—but from i remember it's fun! i disliked the twin sister (though she set the whole thing off, lol) but like everything else at least enough that my brain turns off and i just enjoy it. i hope to get back to it sometime soon but my mood's not really there right now, sadly.

Alexis Hall does good characters both likable and not. I am slowly working my way through his back catalogue so it is good to know which are the better ones.
