I may be totally ambivalent about the movie, but sweet sassy molassy do I love this tin.

BREAKING NEWS

That high pitched noise you hear buzzing at an annoying high pitch in your ear?

That would be me.

I have not stopping exclaiming my pleasure in sound ranges that only dogs and whales can hear since I hear about the release of this:

Yes. Another time travel book by Connie Willi s.

The Connie Willis who wrote To Say Nothing of the Dog: How We Found the Bishop's Bird Stump at Last which is the best time travel comedy book with title inspired by Jerome K. Jerome ever. There are parasols and peevish butlers and lots of wretched Victorian poetry and drownings cats and references to Gaudy Night and just enough romance (or is it time-lag?).

And now, she is releasing a two book time traveling extravaganza set in World War II?

Challenging 2010

2010-02-03T01:15:00.000-08:00

This is going to be a challenging year.

This is the year I'm going to graduate my master's programme and go out into the big, bad world.

This is the second year trying to keep my dog from jumping out of the window and getting eaten by a English Spaniel puppy the size of a pin cushion.

This is the year I am finally going to stop thinking about joining the blogosphere and actually join the fantastic group of people who are reading, writing and interacting with books, my favourite thing in the world (after Mediterranean Veggie Pizza).

So, I've signed up for the POC Reading Challenge, the South Asian Author Challenge, the 2010 Debut Author Challenge and the 10 in '10 Teen Chick Lit Challenge.

It's going to be a fantastic year.

Pekoe is inclined to agree.
