Various + Picspam: Random Autumn Pictures, 2/2
More pictures! Woot! Still autumn, still random.
Maple leaf on the ground. And pine needles.
An older fallen tree.
I think this was a bed once.
Trees.
Some more trees.
Aspen leaves on ground.
Puddle reflection.
Some more leaves.
Chokeberry.
In other news, I've decided to ignore The Casual Vacancy, which is sitting here next to me, glaring at me with its red and yellow eyes cover, for a while longer, and instead I've gone on a mission to try out the first books in various urban fantasy series I haven't yet tried, in the hopes of finding some more series if not to adore, then to enjoy and to follow.
So I've been either buying or wishlisting lots of first books in series I've seen mentioned/recced in various places (although it can sometimes be tricky to tell whether something is actually urban fantasy or paranormal romance or something in between - especially the in-between ones can be tough, as generally "chick in skimpy leather on the cover = urban fantasy" and "naked-chested man on the cover = paranormal romance", but sometimes chicks in skimpy leather can apparently get pretty hot and heavy with the non-cover-depicted supposedly "hot" males, too, and those are difficult to weed out in advance...).
Two books in and I suspect I'm going to need a change from all the leather-clad bad-tempered arse-kicking heroines pretty soon, though. Heh. I mean, I like them as a rule, but there's a difference between a leather-clad arse-kicking heroine who can also use her brains sometimes and one with a gigantic chip on her shoulder who pretty much rages at everyone who as much as crosses their path, and so far, it appears its the latter type that is pretty popular in urban fantasy.
