Open all summer.

Check it out! Loving me some sunshine right now... although, this is the first day of the holiday weekend that the sun is peeking out of the clouds. Not hot, though. Blerg!

I'm alone in the house today. Dad and Mandie are at the Memorial Day festivities in town (a new veteran monument type thing has been proposed and I think they're setting up the initial holder of said monument), Mom is at work, and Alex and Tif left for home. It's just me!!!!! I'm working on the dishes (in sections, as is my favorite way of doing said chore), catching up on YouTube (I was woefully behind on the Nerdist and Geek & Sundry channels although now I'm watching Felicia's Vaginal Fantasy Hangout videos) and coming up with Camp NaNo writing prompts for 5_prompts (feel free to join if you're doing either of the Camp NaNo's because we're doing both of them this summer).

Okay, I have to tell you that I haven't stayed up past my bedtime reading in a long time... not that I haven't stayed up past my bedtime but it's been awhile since it was because of reading. Graceling by Kristin Cashore is WONDERFUL! I didn't jump right into the second book although I bought all three together because I have a problem with reading the second in a series right away. I can't wait to read the second, though! The idea behind the Graces is really great and I like that everyone who is Graced has two different colored eyes but they aren't the same color. It felt like the people were more "individuals" and not just the same person over and over again.

Right now I'm reading Masked, an anthology edited by Lou Anders. I've had it in my wishlist at Amazon for a very long time and finally bought it a couple of Amazon shipments ago. I'm not the hugest fan of anthologies because there's a lot of ebb and flow of quality and how much I like the story. There's a story from Marjorie M. Liu (a writer I enjoy who is now going to be writing the Black Widow comics) that I'm looking forward to, though.

Okay, I must get on with my day and get this posted.

Graceling is SO GOOD. It totally is a stay-up-past-bedtime-reading-it kind of book. Mmmm, I kind of want to go and reread now.
