Things in my boxes from Amazon:

Yarn - it's so pretty! Very lightweight and I'm not sure what I'm going to make with it but I love the variegated pattern and all the colors incorporated!

Elfhome by Wen Spencer - Book Three! I've had this in my Maybe This Time list for the longest time! I think I have a good excuse now to reread the other two ( Read more... )

I've just recently gotten into the Kindle serials. Two have excited me so far! Gooseberry Bluff Community College of Magic: The Thirteenth Rib by David J. Schwartz may be complete. I can't tell from here. Give it at least through the first part because it isn't what you think it is! I'm really enjoying it. The other serial is Indexing by Seanan ( Read more... )

That I collect books is a given. If I could live in a room constructed entirely of books, I would be so happy.

It's not just a blind collection, though. In and among my legions of books, I have several collections. I collect different editions of Little Women, the first book I could call my own (it was a gift) and the one that first inspired me ( Read more... )

I'm so late to the party! I only just started reading the Termeraire series the other day, holding off because I was having trouble getting my hands on the second in the series. Man, oh man! This book is great. I must not be alone in thinking this because I went to AO3 to see if there was any fanfic and WOAH BOY is there fanfic! Every possible ( Read more... )

All the new pretties are here!

One of the books is actually one that I had to hunt down. I don't remember what I was googling but I saw the cover and decided I NEEDED this book. The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf :: The Tribe Book 1 by Ambelin Kwaymullina. It's from an Australian author but it doesn't appear that it's available from any US-based ( Read more... )

I'm currently reading The Bookman Histories, an eBook omnibus of three different books by Lavie Tidhar. It's very Alternative History, not quite the Steampunk it was said to be although there are plenty of gears. I'm enjoying ot!

Here are my 13 categories in 2013

Okay, so I'm going to do the 12 in 12 challenge at Library Thing. I most definitely want to concentrate my reading list this year so that I'm not staring at my bookshelves for days at a time between books.

These are the categories I've decided on this year:
1. Historical Data Comes in Handy (history ( Read more... )

I watched Arrow tonight and enjoyed it. I've also enjoyed Last Resort and Go On for new shows and Once Upon ( Read more... )

I love podcasts! One of my favorites is The Nerdist (I get concerned when I haven't updated my iPod in awhile and there are only a few left to listen to - it's the same concern I get when it's time to get new books because I've "read too many"), but I love several other types and genres of podcast. They're such a great distraction when I'm driving ( Read more... )
