One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing

So today has been ludicrously hectic, not just because there's a ton of scheduling they want done before the board meeting, but because of the trouble with the LIRR. I took the subway home last night, i.e., the long way, because I didn't want to be stuck in Penn Station while trains were being canceled and reshuffled. I got on the E at 5:35 and walked in my door at 6:45 so it wasn't terrible - the bus was at the stop when I arrived from the subway - but the railroad is still faster when it actually runs correctly.

My regular train this morning was canceled and then I decided to wait for the one after the next one, which turned out to also be canceled so I ended up taking a 9:14 am train that showed up at 9:18 am and so didn't get to work until 10 am. Sigh.

Some days all you can do is show up, but unfortunately, I have had to actually do a shit ton of stuff because when I got here, I had 45 emails, of which 35 required actual action not just filing away because I was cc'd on them for no reason. That is a lot to walk into first thing in the morning.

Anyway, it's Wednesday, so here's a reading update:

What I've just finished
Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie, which I enjoyed a lot! I wasn't all that swoony over Shane and Agnes as a couple but the whole thing is so entertaining that I didn't really miss that aspect of things. Let me put it this way - there were two or three times when I almost missed my stop on the train because I was so engrossed in my reading. That is not something that happens very often! So I definitely added the Crusies people recommended to me to my ever growing TBR pile.

What I'm reading now
Thornfruit by Felicia Davin, which I want to say was recommended by [personal profile] rachelmanija? I'm enjoying it so far - it's an interesting fantasy novel that seems like it's going to a canon f/f place, which will be nice.

What I'm reading next
Hey, I actually have an answer this week: if I continue to enjoy Thornfruit, I'll probably read the next two books in the trilogy next.

As for what I was reading fic-wise, I did the February recs update last night:

[personal profile] unfitforsociety has been updated for February 2019 with 25 story recs and 1 vid rec in 11 fandoms:

* 6 DCU
* 4 Avengers
* 4 Star Wars
* 4 Crossovers
* 3 Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse
* 1 Harry Potter, 1 Circe, 1 Sports Night, 1 Stranger Things, and 1 Good Place vid

My dreams have been full of Gotham lately and if you look at that first link, it probably explains why. *g*

Thornfruit is brilliant and the trilogy is very satisfying! I wish it was better known.
