159. Gaits of Heaven : A Dog Lover's Mystery — Susan Conant
160. Broken Music : A Memoir — Sting
161. Changeling — Delia Sherman
162. The Various — Steve Augarde
163. Garlic and Sapphires — Ruth Reichl

One that I can't count towards my total, not having read the whole thing, but I really want to recommend: Technical Theater for Nontechnical People, by Drew Campbell. A very easy-to-read overview on many aspects of theater, including scenery, lighting, sound props, and stage management. I've ordered my own copy from Amazon, I think this is going to be a great reference.

[livejournal.com profile] ayelle, Changeling was the one I was in the middle of that I couldn't remember. And The Various turned out to be pretty good once I finally got started. As with Celandine, I think I liked the human-world bits a lot more than the fairy-world ones; the West Country accents get wearing very quickly. Plus make me think of The Little Princess too much.

I forget who recommended Garlic and Sapphires, but whoever it was, thanks, I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to reading her other books now.

Yayyy!!! There's a new Doctor Who episode!

Boooo!!! I won't get to watch it for another... 16 hours, at the current rate.

I am so spoiled. Given that it won't actually be shown in the US for ages, I suppose a few hours is nothing to complain about. But man, I can't wait for a new fix!
