When I come back to bed, someone’s taking my place

[rolanni]

Up early to take Mozart to the vet’s to have dental work done, then home for a visit from the c-pap nurse, eat lunch, and go back into town to pick Mozart up from the vet’s.

Between all that, Steve and I took a walk; I did. . .all? Really? of the laundry, and converted Eidolon, Misfits, Halfling Moon, Skyblaze, and The Cat’s Job into Smashbooks.  This leaves only four chapbooks, a slim volume of poetry and a novel to convert.

I do believe I’ll be pleased to see the back of this particular project.

For those of an opinionated turn of mind, NPR is looking to compile a list of the 100 Best SF and Fantasy books. You can submit your favorites here. Please note that the rules allow the nomination of a series as one work — the Liaden Universe® novels do qualify.

It’s somehow gotten later than I thought it would be by this time, if that makes any sense. The pain meds seem to have worn off poor Mo, who now can’t quite settle down. I offered him some wet food, but, no, he wanted cat crunchies. Made my teeth hurt, just watching him.

Regardless of which, I ought to get something to eat, my own self.

Re: NPR poll...vote early, vote often

I find that the list of nominations is usually more interesting than the 'winners', particularly for self-selected "top 100" type things. I can probably predict several of the "top 10", for instance, but in te nominations there are often things which may have only got a few votes so they didn't appear on the final list which I don't know already.

Yep, as far as I can see the main benefit of this sort of poll is the chance that someone who hasn't tried, heard of, any of Sharon and Steve's books might say, "Hmmm, a lot of folks seem to rate this Liaden Universe series highly. Maybe I should give it a try..." and WHAM, they're hooked! Another small bit of marketing we can help with so that Sharon and Steve have the freedom to write...yay, more books for us!
