I'm glad to hear you are getting back in the reading/thinking about writing groove! (I can't remember... I think I hadn't written up comments for the last chapter or two of Glamour you posted, though I do think I read them. I should go back and check -- and I do want to know what happens next!)

On the reading, what did you think of Ironside? (I liked it quite a bit, myself). I also finally read AGaTB, and liked it, but have yet to find/read either of the sequels.
