what to do...what to do...

I'm torn.

In the evenings, after the supper dishes are done, and the house is back in order, and I have time to relax; I like to either stitch or read.

But, right now, I'm torn.

I have, in my hot little hands, Echo in the bone. (It's the book that was counting down to it's release date.) I've waited 4 long years to read this book. I've read every excerpt that Diana has posted on the web. (Diana's the author. We go wwwwwaaaaaayyyyy back. So, I can call her by her first name. We're tight, Diana and me...even if she doesn't know me from Adam.) I've read spoilers, interviews, hints, everything I could about this book. Cause, see, Diana is a wonderful writer.

She writes the "the smartest historical sci-fi adventure/romance ever written by a science Ph.D. with a background in scripting Uncle Scrooge comic books." (Quote from Salon.com) That's the best endorsement I've seen!

So, I have Diana's nice thick book to read but I also have a stitching project that I've been working steadily on and I'm making real progress. It might just be finished by Christmas! And then, it is premier week on TV this week. I could watch TV. I usually watch TV and stitch...but there's that book... I could read during the commercials and watch TV, or I could read during the commercials, watch TV while stitching...

Can I juggle both? All three?

Oh, what to do, what to do...

You know you will be reading that book!!! You won't be able to put it down!!! The way you read, you'll be done with it by the end of October. . . then you can pick up the stitching. LOL

You think it will take me that long to get it read? Jody. I'm disappointed in you. I think I'll have it done in another week! Well, maybe 2.
