I woke up to a beautiful day, dragged my butt to the gym/work and as I was walking back across campus, it occurred to me just how beautiful this campus is. It’s not close to water and there really isn’t a view of anything but trees and other buildings, but since the earthquake in ’94, it’s filled out quite nicely.

I work in the Oviatt Library building at CSUN so this is my view if I climb the stairs from my basement office and look out onto the quad. It’s tempting to be so close to the books but it’s a tad too institutional for me and not a cozy place to spend my time so I usually pop in, get what I need and then run back down to my basement office.

Today, I am taking it easy. I am totally wiped out from the gym so I plan to spend my day cleaning up my inbox, checking on some pending items and then maybe… maybe I will go someplace for lunch. I packed a lunch but it’s yucky and not calling my name.

As for reading, I am reading The Age of Miracles for a book tour and trying to catch-up on my galleys which have grown in the past few days. However, I will not turn away a copy of The Twelve if anyone decides to offer it to me. In fact, I have shamelessly asked BEA attendees to snag a copy for me if they are able to do so.  I am dying, DYING to snag a copy of that book.

Anyway, Happy Friday! Hope you all have a wonderful day.
