Of jewels rare and old, and coaches filled with gold

I'm afraid there's not much to see here, as I make a dash for the end of the book. Insert Snapshot of The Author tipped forward in her chair, fingers on the keyboard, glaring at the screen

(It's funny, Agent of Change was written very much at a dash, and so was Conflict of Honors.  Carpe Diem wanted to dash -- indeed, we did dash, and wrote a whole wrong book.  So, then we had to write the correct book, but at a slower pace, and paying close attention to the rules we'd laid down in the previous two books.   Continuity is hard.  It was then, I think, that we got into the habit of thinking things out in-between the writing, and things went from dash to dogged.)

So!  What're y'all doing or thinking about or reading that's fun and interesting?

Just finished a nonstop reread of C. J. Cherryh's Foreigner books, culminating with the just published 14th, Protector, which I have in dead tree editions. I'm now trying to decide which of the bunch of new books I got for my Kindle Fire I want to read next. Probably the anthology Queen Victoria's Book of Spells which is "gaslight fantasy." Or maybe start in on Robin Hobb's Rain Wild Chronicles, or Jane Fancher's two Netwalkers books, or Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamour in Glass -- So many books, so little time!
