Warning: crankiness comes and goes this evening. If I snap at you (or have done so), apologies.


A few more to throw on the "finished books" stack:

  1. One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding, Rebecca Mead. I swear, it's not actually Bridezilla day here at Chez [livejournal.com profile] geekchick. I think anyone considering having a big, "traditional" wedding should read this at least once. Not saying at all that one shouldn't have that big white wedding if that's what you want, but maybe stop to think for a second about the billion-dollar industry whose sole purpose is to persuade brides (and their parents) that spending an average of $28,000 on a party is a requirement and not just an option. That said, I preferred All Dressed in White; it had a different focus, but also touched on the "bride as profit center" theme that is at the heart of this book.

  2. White Night, Jim Butcher. Well, hell. Now I'm all caught up and have to wait for the next book like everyone else.

  3. Sixty Days and Counting, Kim Stanley Robinson. I can't remember if I was as underwhelmed by Blue Mars or if it's something particular to this particular trilogy wrap-up. By the time I hit the last page, I'd kind of stopped caring anymore.
