Wednesday reading
TBR stack: 248. (I'm quite proud of this, as I started the year at 295 and was aiming for 240 by the end of the year.) So far I've only bought three books this year which I haven't read yet. (I'm sure this will change as soon as I have my annual trip to Powell's, which I think might be before Sirens in October again ( Read more... ) -
Wednesday reading
I'm having such a hard time remembering to do this lately. Wednesdays seem not to be a good day for me for some reason. Oh, well, here it is this week, anyway.
• What did you recently finish reading?
- Diana Wynne Jones's Dalemark books (rereads), which I like but are still not favorites.

unexpected bookses!
Well, that was a nicer-than-usual Monday thing. Got a package in the mail, clearly with books in it, but didn't know what it was. Opened it to see, and out tumbled copies of Ekaterina Sedia's The Secret History of Moscow, James A.

• What did you recently finish reading?

I don't feel as though they ended on cliffhangers, exactly, but there wasn't a ton of closure at the end of either. I'm really glad she's apparently finished writing the third one.

• What are you currently reading?
Seanan McGuire's A Local Habitation, having finished Rosemary and Rue yesterday. I don't find these as instantly absorbing as the Incryptids books so far, but I wonder if they'll eventually be more so; the potential for deeper characterization seems to be there.
Joseph Ellis's First Family, on John and Abigail ( Read more... ) -
pursuant to my last post...

• What are you currently reading?
Daphne du Maurier, My Cousin Rachel, for a Goodreads group read of this and Rebecca.
• What did you recently finish reading?
Seanan McGuire's Midnight Blue-Light Special, which I think I liked even better than the first, maybe because of the addition of Sarah POV. I'm interested to see where she's going next, ( Read more... ) -
it's Wednesday somewhere, right?
