On Wednesday, What am I Reading?

                

WHAT AM I
 READING ?
WEDNESDAY

UGH! It is the first day of Fall, which is pretty in New England if you manage to stay in the moment and don't think ahead to the long, dark, and cold winter or lament the end of summer. So far this week, I am on my third or fourth book, I lose track of time and am not particularly well organized. 

I finished and reviewed Linger, by Maggie Stiefvater, and the fourth book in the Anita Blake series, Circus of the Damned by Laurell K. Hamilton. I also read the next in the Anita Blake Series, The Lunatic Cafe but didn't want you all to OD on Anita Blake. So, right now I am reading Marked (Eternal Guardians) by Elizabeth Naughton (Format: Kindle Edition  Publisher: Love Spell; Original edition (April 24, 2010)). This is a Kindle Freebie on Amazon and the next in the Eternal Guardian Series, Entwined released at the end of July.

I think I am about halfway through and it is not so gripping that I can't stop reading it.  I am not getting much of a sense of characters except for an supporting character, the Princess Isadora, who is actually  throwing me a bit of a curve right now.   And, it is certainly an interesting take on Greek Mythology.   Not everyone is as we are accustomed to perceiving him or her. I may be done and able to give you a better idea. Will it continue thus? Will I get bored? Will Isadora continue in the vein she is mining right now?   Will Theron and Acacia/Cassie ever hook up?
Tune in tomorrow for Am I Through Thursday (lol!).

Blog tip:

When I started blogging I was told to avoid things that move or make noise.  Now I have seen some moving things I like, although too many can be a distraction.  But, I have a hard time when there is a music player way, way down. Some times the thing not only comes automatically, which can scare me half to death, but won't stay turned off. Now, imagine I am surfing with my laptop and my kid is napping and all of a sudden there is music.  You hurriedly scroll down hoping it doesn't wake up the kid. You turn it off, phew! and then 30 seconds later it is back on.

1.  If you want music, which can be great, keep the payer up high on the page and make it instantly and permanently mutable or off (for that visit). Seriously, when that happens I just leave. That with movement and blinking is distracting, and confusing. And, it could wake up the baby,or the boss!

2. I prefer the music is not automatic and if it is that I can turn it off for the duration of my visit immediately.

3. Keep the volume down.

With movement and sound on the blog think:  less is more!
