I've already blogged about my excitement regarding this book. I finished the story yesterday and it is going to be too long a wait until the second installment hits the shelves. I'm ready to read the rest, now, please!
Pretty easy to understand why the title has received so much buzz. Interesting characters, plenty of mystery, lots of history and science and a wonderful combination of vampires, witches and daemons (not the hellish kind).
Up next is a new book on St. Margaret of Scotland and her husband Malcolm Canmore. "Queen Hereafter" by Susan Fraser King really caught my eye because Lady MacBeth is a supporting character in it and I've always been very intrigued with her. King wrote a wonderful book on Lady MacBeth as well. Should be good stuff.
Soccer from last night.......younger daughter's team dominated 4-0, they could have scored more, but the coach called them off and made them work on passes. Older daughter was the 'sub' keeper on another team, a rec/competitive team, and they lost 2-1. She had some interesting stories to tell.....when she called for an 'away' ball on a cross, the players, not use to such talk, stepped away. She said it was like the parting of the Red Sea! Hahahaha. She had to explain to them, on the next stoppage, that when a keeper calls "away" that means kick the ball out!! She also, in another play, called for the ball...a nice loud "Keeper" shout, but her own player got in her way and was still trying to kick it. Said player almost kicked her own goalie!! Again, seasoned keeper playing with inexperienced players.
Now for the clincher, younger daughter's team is going to play this team the older daughter is helping, next week. Luckily, another keeper will be in the goal. Whew. That could have been ugly.
And here it is Wednesday. Already.
