Some minutia

[barnacling]

• Flist, I have jury duty at the end of the month and I cannot take any electronics with me. So I am going to the bookstore to pick up some actual real books. Give me real book recs!


• Lea made me a tumblr and I occasionally stare at it. Honestly, for some reason tumblr makes me feel so confused. But you should still tell me who you are so I can

I was JUST about to rec this! So... another vote for this!

[barnacling]

I think someone else recently recced this so I shall definitely check it out.

Seriously, tumblr makes me feel ridiculous.

I'm reading Prospero Lost and it's super good.

ugggh the reboot. I haven't touched it with a 30-foot pole. MAYBE I'LL GET INTO MARVEL, DC! TRY AND STOP ME!!!

♥ You and your hopeful non-pregnancy will be in my thoughts. good luck! (and hey, I got myself tested rly expensively for STDs when it was all but impossible for me to have one, so I hear you on the irrational medical fears)

You know, if you're gonna reboot, don't pull this halfway crap. And don't make your iconic character unrecognizable.

Normally I would rec getting into Marvel because the editing tends not to be as stupid as DC, but I'm mad at Marvel right now too!

Thanks, bb.

Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series! alternate steampunk/mutant animals history of WWI and a girl dressing up like a boy! The trilogy is complete.

After your doctor's appointment you should celebrate by getting real drunk. And maybe an IUD.

The first book or the series? The first book is the greatest but the whole series is fun. :DDD and the occasional illustrations are fantastic.

Oh that sounds interesting! I love steampunk, too. And complete series make me happy.

Oh believe me, drinks after are a give. Since I have to take oral BC for hormone reasons, my doc won't approve an IUD. Believe me, I've asked.

Lea already added you!

Tumblr hasn't quite taken for me yet, but I'm beatgoesonandimsowrong!

I'm drawing a weird blank on books, but right now I'm also reading the NK Jemisin ones, and listening to the Percy Jackson series.

[barnacling]

I think I'll check out the Jemisin. That many people on my flist cannot be wrong.
