i think the lulwut-iest part is that you read TWO of cassie clare's books.

(also are you in work or stranded somewhere?)

No, you're absolutely right. I am at home, I'm working a lame 5 to 10 shift tonight for someone who is away for Christmas. Are you at work?!

also, nice work on the yuletide story. i'm glad we can translate our fuckuppery into success when the situation warrants.

(ps in case you notice, i found two typos in your fic so i signed in as you and fixed them. NOT CREEPY AT ALL.)

How did you like Wolf Hall? And also I really hope you didn't put down Parrot and Olivier because it's bad as I'm really looking forward to reading it. :|||

ALSO DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ONCE THAT I SHOULD READ THE LACUNA? Or am I imagining things.

I'm so jealous of your reading. I feel like I haven't read anything for pleasure since I left high school. I could give you a long ass list of books I've purchased with the intent to read, or books that I want to read, but not that I've actually read. (I think I'm really going to try to change that this year).

As for actual books, well, I've always been a huge fan of children's fantasy, so I read the Percy Jackson series (lolz, I know, but actually really freakin' awesome books), started the Books of Pellinor, and re-read Harry Potter. I think I read The Secret Garden this year too, but that might have been last year.

However, I'm currently reading Christopher Moore's Lamb, which is good. I think he's trying to be a little too witty and falling short sometimes, but it's been pretty entertaining.

echoing yeats' sentiment re: TWO cassie clare books. tell me about the lethem, waters, and homes, books, please!

i have the companion book to the end of alice in my apartment someplace. remind me to bring it the next time i see you. if you liked homes, you should pick up music for torching.
