Words!

Four hundred yesterday evening. Ha!

Had lunch with my mother, went for a walk, got groceries at the coop, only to realize when I proudly presented my antelope to Raphael that I had forgotten the tool for cracking the bones -- or, to get out of this disgustingly carnivorous metaphor, I'd got various proteins we were out of but forgetten to get the corresponding carbohydrates. She was very kindly about this.

I have been tearing through romance novels given and lent me by Daedale in the past, oh, Lord, year or so, probably in an effort to make myself forget about the war for an hour. Lucky me that this is even possible.

Chloe Cheshire is a grand writer. I am really not accustomed to such good style in a Regency; to such wit, affectionate depiction of foolery, subtlety, actual character depth. Whee.

I have to walk my cat and walk myself before it's time to start dinner.

Does naming a character "not as big as medium sized jock but bigger than wee jock jock" count as one word each time you use his name, or thirteen?

If I had to decide seriously about that, I'd say one word. Like a Homeric epithet. Luckily, I don't.

The only bad thing about Chloe Cheshire is that she only wrote one book. And that's just horrible.

Let me know when you are caught up; I can replenish your supply with sequels, books by the same authors, or completely unrelated books that I also think are good, as you prefer.

Chloe Cheshire is a grand writer.

And she should have written MORE. The name sounds like a pseud, but even if it is, I have no clue if she ever used another pseud, so can't find any additional books even if they exist.

Chloe! Chloe! I hardly knew you!
