Well, after being held up a bit by income tax and a quick trip to Edmond, OK to see the Great-Grandbaby (who is 22 months and a lot of fun--she enjoyed the books we brought as well as my reading to her no end) I have finally finished the fourth book in The Clan of the Cave Bear series. This may be one of my favorites. The horseback camping trip across stone age Europe was breathtakingly beautiful alternating with heart-stoppingly dangerous. There was also a huge amount of information about the formation of the mountains and glaciers as well as weather patterns caused by them. The descriptions of how they solved problems and lived off the land was also enjoyable. I feel like I've been on a long and leisurely trip through a strange and beautiful land.
I finished yesterday and then read a quick graphic novel-- Buffy, Slayer Interrupted. It was set in time before the series started, but I'm really not fond of graphic novels. I find them annoying as they skip around and try to put too much on a page.
Now I've started Night World (No. 1) by L. J. Smith, but it is starting in a very familiar manner. I wonder if I have read it already? I will have to continue reading it a bit and see if it stays this familiar...
