Books 172-173, Fiction 162-163:
162, 163. Seraphs and Host, Faith Hunter.
Second and third book after Bloodring. They're good, but they don't give me the same kind of narrative squeefulness as the first book.
Not that I have any objections to ramping up the tension, but after you've fought the devil itself in book three, the only thing left is to assail the gates of heaven. And there's only so much victory over impossible odds I'm prepared to believe in before my suspension-of-disbelief muscles get a bit strained.
Falling off walls is fun. Today, I had a lesson! in how to climb, make safe, and belay. I now have burgeoning blisters on all my fingers from feeding the rope through the device. But I also made it to the top of the easy wall and halfway up the second easiest, so it's all good.
Criminal Minds 3.09, 'Penelope', takes the biscuit as the best episode of the season so far.

Now maybe I should go do something productive with my evening?
