meganbmooreAm momentarily headed off to work and gone until sometime Saturday evening, unless I have time to pop on at the parents' tonight (unlikely, they go to bed around 9 and the computer room is next to their bedroom) or in the morning.
Try not to be interesting while I'm gone! Unless, you know, you just can't help it.
For the curious, what the books in the poll were.
Bride supposedly killed in war shows up alive just in time to stop husband from committing bigamy.: One Night For Love by Mary Balogh* **
Book 3 of post-apocalyptic fantasy with badass mercenary heroine more alpha than all the alpha men.: Magic Strikes by Ilona Andrews*

Fantasy pirate queen!: Mad Kestrel by Misty Massey*
Husband fetches estranged doctor wife home from India. Hijinks presumably ensue.: Not Quite A Husband by Sherry Thomas* **
Inns and magic bells. Maybe merpeople.: The Bell at Sealey Head by Patricia McKillip
Book two of time based fantasy with the Pied Piper's rejects.: Grim Tuesday by Garth Nix
Little old Victorian ladies rule the world. Or so I determined in the miniseries based on it.: Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell*
Fantasy does the Dirty Dozen.: Midwinter by Matthew Sturges
Book 3 of Jane Austen With Magic. (Not by Susanna Clarke.): The Mislaid Magician by Caroline Stevermer and Patricia Wrede

All powerful immortal (or something) becomes girl's pet puppy.: Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones*
*What I’m taking, though which I’ll actually get read will depend on mood.
