I think I've proven the soporific effects of Benadryl, especially when combined with an overall lack of sleep. I went to bed at 8 last night, too tired to eat dinner, and slept for about 11 and a half hours. I feel better now.

8. The Bone Garden - Tess Gerritsen.

I'd noticed this book in the bookstore several times because I like the title, but never picked it up until I saw Gerritsen mentioned at 50books_poc. I'm quite happy I found it, and will be reading more of her books. The only thing I could have lived without was the reincarnation romance in an otherwise perfectly nice framing narrative.

Ia! Ia!

At long last, I can share my most recent squee! Ellen Datlow's Lovecraft Unbound anthology is due out in October, and my story "The Tenderness of Jackals" is in it! The ToC also includes matociquala, truepenny, and greygirlbeast! I've wanted to sell a story to Ellen since I was a weee baby squidlet reading SciFiction, so this makes me ridiculously happy.

Now I must make some dinner (that does not contain cheese or meat--I don't think I'll be able to look at a bowl of queso for at least a month), and maybe go back to working on my map for TDC, which is an extra nuisance without Photoshop.
