Jun. 1st, 2010 11:06 pmHome. Or at least, at my parents', where my car has been for the last week, and where I shall do laundry in the morning. I have determined that DFW may be devilspawn. Last week they made me trek 20 gates down, and today they kept switching us between three terminals. Thankfully, the terminals were very close together. Then, 15 minutes after boarding time, they announced there might be a delay for maintenance, then announced boarding about 2 minutes later. This is noteworthy only for the really, really fun, loud screech the plane made as we were landing. Though, apparently, that particular flight is usually delayed by an hour, so maybe I got lucky.
Though, between the flights, waiting in Madison and the layover, I read all of Ilona Andrews's Magic Bleeds and all of Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu's Zahrah the Windseeker, and a bit of Catherynne Valente's Omikuji. I am rather amused that, despite MB and ZtW having nothing in common besides being SFF novels written by women with female leads (which is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of my reading) both books featured [spoiler for both] the male lead beging in a coma for part of the book as an important plot point. Catherynne Valente is also a woman who writes SFF and has written more female leads than male in what I've read of hers, but hasn't had that one yet.
Also, a woman in the Madison airport pegged me as a WisCon attendee because I was reading MB. She probably also saw me wandering around over the weekend, but I was amused because that seems to be quite the stretch, but is a perfectly logical assumption under the circumstances.
