Here’s what I read this week:
Oct 7: “Brighter
Than the Sun” by Darynda Jones, #8.5 in the Charley Davidson series, an urban
fantasy at 106 pages. Blurb from Goodreads: All his life, Reyes Alexander Farrow has suffered the
torments of the damned. Only one thing has given him hope: the woman who
radiates a light that no mortals can see; a light that only the departed can
see... Told from his point of view, BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN chronicles the first
time Reyes ever encountered Charley, and how their relationship has been the
one thing that can either save him or doom him. Even though it doesn’t
have the humor the rest of the series has (since those are told from Charley’s
point of view and she’s a hoot), I love reading Reyes’ point of view. This one
is a darker story, but still, it’s Reyes! I do love him so (even though he is
the son of Satan) and I zipped right through this prequel novella. I just hope
it eventually comes out in print so I can add it to my collection. I love this
series!
Yes, my reading has slowed a little. Probably because I’m so
close to the end of my novella. Yay! I’m hoping to get that thing finished this
week. I have, like, maybe two more scenes to write. And then I have to hope I
didn’t write garbage. Because sometimes I wonder…
TV watching update: Quit watching “The Grinder” and getting
really close to quitting “Quantico
So… Is it getting cooler where you live? Does that make you
happy or sad? Last year it made me sad. This year it’s not bothering me too
much. Yet. Then again, it hasn’t gotten really cold. Yet. J
Happy Reading

I haven't had a problem leaving comments, but one thing I noticed--and this is going back a ways--is that when some people comment on my blog, I don't get an e-mail notification (you are one of these people). I don't know if it's related to their account or my own, but I get notifications on some but not others.
Definitely getting cooler here. Twice in the last two weeks I've found a thin layer of ice on my car windshield when I got up, though this morning it's nearly 50 outside. I don't mind cool weather, but I DO mind burning heating oil!
What JeffO said - I don't get an email notification for your comments either. They're there if I refresh my dashboard, but I don't remember to do that often, so sometimes your comments don't get approved until late in the day or the next day.
The furnace kicked on this morning, but we don't have any frost yet. The news stations have been taunting us with predictions of it, though. I love this weather - especially after the hot summer - and then Winter comes, and I look forward to Spring. =o)
Jeff - Woke up to 44 degrees this morning. Made for a cold walk. Brrr... I get the Mailer Daemon when I comment on your blog, so I know you're not getting notified. Heck, I get the Mailer Daemon when I comment on my OWN blog! I'm thinking it has to do with AOL accounts.
Beth - We turned on the heat a couple of weeks ago, but I don't think it's kicked on recently. I'm sure that will change soon. I also get the Mailer Daemon when I post on your blog. Frustrating!
I get those emails only from two blogs. That's it.
Cold here today, but I don't mind.
Ivy - Okay, so it's not just me! Good to know.
What Jeff said. No notifications from you when you leave a comment at my place.
It's still hot by us. Been hitting the 90s lately, but I hope it cools off soon. At least the nights are comfortable.
Maria - Still hot, huh? I'll be in Austin this weekend. Guess I better be prepared for anything! :)
I get email when you comment on my blog, but then mine is a self-hosted Wordpress site. Sometimes I have trouble commenting on Blogger blogs - no matter how I sign in, my comments disappear. Glad yours isn't one of those!
I like the cooler weather right now, but probably won't for long!
Jennette - I don't have any problem with Wordpress sites. Just Blogger. You'd think since my blog is with Blogger it would be the other way around! :)
