wednesday reading
So it's Wednesday!
Erm. What have I been reading?
Current Reading:
Molly Gloss, Jump-Off Creek, which I recently realized I had never read. Must rectify that! But I'm only a little ways in. I did stop by the bookstore the other day and recommend Hearts of Horses and Falling from Horses, and L. said that Hearts may be going into a new print run because Falling is doing well enough to drive interest in its predecessor. Which is nice.
Just Finished:
Patricia McKillip, Alphabet of Thorn, which I found on the bookshelf after I unpacked most (only most! sigh) of my books out of the garage. It was lovely and unexpected, as I remembered very little of it besides that it involved a library, and translation, and a wood and a plain. I love the Floating School, though, and I would read any number of stories about the king's library and the wizard's school.
Up Next: Possibly War Dances by Sherman Alexie, for book club. Also Stranger by Sherwood & Rachel. And in a week there will be YULETIDE to read! (But I will be with family and thus unable to spend 16 hours/day in the archive...)

Speaking of librarians, I saw the first hour of the pilot of The Librarians and decided that I liked everyone except Noah Wyle's character. Does he go away? Please? And I have to find a streaming way to watch that is less expensive than iTunes. Maybe TNT has a Roku channel?
In other news, it's RAINING. Yay! Although I could wish it wasn't quite so cold and dark and raining. TNG doesn't like to walk in this weather, and neither do I.
