blood-sugar and fantasy

[athene]

This morning I woke up and was very dizzy. Took me a while to realize that I had woken up with low blood-sugar, which is NOT normal for me. Drank some juice, ate some cereal, and still didn't feel 100% there. At more throughout the day. Eventually felt 100% after egg & cheese on a bagel and a bit later some miso soup. Back to not feeling 100%. Have eaten dinner. Not sure if it's lack of sleep or onset of moon-time or combination or something else. Will watch it carefully. Not happy.

Also, i realized today that I've been reading LOTS of fantasy novels this summer. Devouring them would probably be the right word. Read: Neverwhere, Beauty's Release, His Dark Materials trilogy (Golden Compass, Subtle Knife, Amber Spyglass), parts of Kushiel's Scion over Aerith's shoulder, and Stardust (which I just finished tonight). I currently have Kushiel's Justice on request through InterLibrary Loan and am seriously considering picking up a series or two by Tamora Pierce or possibly Lynn Flywelling while I wait for it. Also, there is Harry Potter 7 in under a month, which I plan on purchasing from a local bookstore.

p.s. I we did the photography session for my QTVR project on Tuesday. It went really well. I'm so excited about this project.

Yep...me too with the fantasy... I'm re-reading His dark materials and trying to decide what else to read. Yay escapism!

with Tamora Pierce, I reccomend the Tortall books over the Circle books;
and with Flewelling I'd start with the Tamir books over the Nightrunner ones since while written second they take place beforehand in the timeline ^_^

Already read a chunk of Tortall and half of Circle.

Read Nightrunner before Tamir came out. Met Lynn and read her LJ.

then my advice is pointless in those cases ^_^
I've been re-reading tons of Lackey lately, as well as Tanya Huff's quarter's books, and the little house on the prairie books (reading chapters out loud to my niece reminded me how fun they are)
