Six books this month, five of them by one author because it came as a five-book compilation from the library.

1. A Dance with Dragons, by George RR Martin. I, um, can't actually remember most of what happened. More than a thousand pages and it's all blurred together! What I most recall is that one of my three favourite characters (probably) ( Read more... )

I really like when I watch fanvids on YouTube and think, "Ooh, I really wish someone would vid this song to X fandom" and then a week later, there it is.

On the flip side, I am this close to making a Haven vid (or two, actually) myself. Except I hate WMM (which has deleted all the Castle eps from its collection again), and I have very little ( Read more... )

Does the Song of Ice and Fire series ever end...?

1. On the Hunt, by Gena Showalter et al. A collection of four short stories by four authors, one of whom is Shannon Butcher and part of the reason why I gave it a try. Paranormal romance. And... um, I actually can't remember a single thing about this book right now. Awkward ( Read more... )

Oh, laptop. Never go away for that long again. *clings* (Yes, three days is "that long," thank you for asking.)

hoperomantic, thank you for my virtual gift! I hope you had a lovely Samhain as well.

1. Dead Until Dark, by Charlaine Harris. I mostly read this one to see what all the fuss is about re: the series. The two things I remember off the bat are ( Read more... )

Only three this month. But it's back to work, and one of the books was 830 pages, so it's not quite as slacker-ish as it seems at first blush.

1. The Thirteen, by Susie Maloney. My primary memory of this book is that there is a secondary character named Audra who lives in Haven Hills (Woods?). (For those of you not into the tv show Haven, there ( Read more... )

I read nine books this month, which makes the comments a little long. So here's a list, with thoughts and/or rants and/or summaries under the cut should you care to read them. Linked titles are available for download in epub format if you wish to "borrow" them.

1) The Girl who Played with Fire

and

2) The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, by ( Read more... )

Dear Self,

You should know better than to read a scary book. In the dark. Before bed. When you can't even finish it and know everything turns out okay.

Now go read a short, entirely fluffy fic or two to distract you from comparisons to The Sixth Sense and how much that movie freaked you out the first time you saw it. And at least then you were ( Read more... )

I am avoiding listening to a message on my answering machine, because I know who it is and basically what he wants and I don't feel like calling him back, so. I am awful, I know. But this is a good distraction. ;)

1. To Say Nothing of the Dog, by Connie Willis. This was actually lent to me by vicki_james98 last year after Polaris, but I didn't have time to ( Read more... )

A little overdue. Plus I only read three books last month (June is super!busy!times! at work. Plus, y'know, all the post-finale fanfic is still goin' strong) which is kind of sad. I did start two other books, though. Does that count?

1. Underground by Kat Richardson. Third in the Greywalker series, the first two of which I read in May. They ( Read more... )

Laptop did a stupid Windows Update automatic restart immediately upon my opening the lid. This means that all of my tabs (at least half a dozen in three different windows, and a tonne of fic I'd opened and not yet read) were all lost. ARGH. I very much dislike Windows' automatic updates; half the time I lose stuff ( Read more... )
