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:
- One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding, Rebecca Mead. I swear, it's not actually Bridezilla day here at Chez
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.
- White Night, Jim Butcher. Well, hell. Now I'm all caught up and have to wait for the next book like everyone else.
- 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.
