My running list of books I want to read might currently be upwards of 150. ...Oops?

Exchanged where late the sweet birds sang for a copy that wasn't missing a page and was SO HAPPY to find it had dropped in price by $6. Accordingly, I picked up another book - Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse - which is an anthology of short stories including ( Read more... )

So I've been reading actual books lately. Like, printed on paper and everything. I KNOW. How very archaic of me. Anyhow, I thought I'd give a brief rundown and opinion on a few because a) I never seem to post anything anymore and b) I'm never short on opinions. SO... here we go ( Read more... )

So, my not-quite-five-year-old has a sudden interest in history and I was wondering if anyone on my friend's list had any suggestions on books (or apps or videos or whatever) on history that are good for young children?

So, I'm playing Sims again. It's a thing I seem to go back to periodically, and have done so since Sims 1 with no expansions.

Happy Birthday foxriverinmate !

Hope it is/was (I stink at time changes...) lovely!

Finished a 5k Revolution fic (IDEK, it hit me and it needed to happen) today. Awaiting a beta before I post it. It's the closest to slash I've ever written, honestly. More Monroe/inferiority- ( Read more... )

Wrote 2850 words today. WOOHOO! Halfway through chapter two in my Castle fic. Anyone on my flist read Castle fics? I'm not posting anything from it until it's done or very nearly done. But at this rate... well... I'm pretty damn pleased with the pace.
