I geek out every time a book‘s got mammoths in it. Mammoths are the BEST. 🦣
The best mammoth of all the mammoths is the one at the museum in Victoria. I imprinted on it when I was four years old. It took me a couple decades to realize Tiny Me loved it so much because I associated it with Mr Snuffleupagus.
New day; new beer; old book. I did take a break from this one, but the cozy mystery I tried yesterday didn‘t spark for me so I‘m back in. I‘m over halfway through now and I THINK I‘m gonna stick with it until I‘ve finished, though it could still become one of those books I bail on but tag To Return To. We‘ll see.
Tonight‘s plan: drink this beer and make some actual progress through THE TIME OF THE DARK. I started it the other night and was instantly all, “Oooh!” but d‘you think I‘ve managed to sit down with it since then?
NOPE.
I‘m either gonna properly sink into it right now or take a break from it. Because I really do wanna read it, but I can‘t waste any more time on it if it doesn‘t fit my current mood.
Thanks @Dragon for the tag. I love these. @JenlovesJT47

I think Barbara Hambly is well known in the fantasy/sci-fi community, but maybe not so much otherwise. She is a fantastic storyteller. The Darwath series is one of my faves. Highly recommend especially if you like fantasy.
