Who finished War and Peace? THAT’S RIGHT, IT’S ME ( Read more... )

Rose Under Fire! It’s not quite as gut-punchingly brilliant as its companion novel Code Name Verity, but it’s still bloody good, and the audiobook is excellent - although not something you’d want to listen to on your commute! I kept tearing up when I listened, not so much about the big horrors but about the little things: homesickness, the Nick ( Read more... )

What I’ve Just Finished Reading

Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera, but I have a post in the works about that so I shall not detain you here.

Also Paula McLain’s The Paris Wife, because Emma recommended it to me. It’s a recently published adult book, which puts it rather out of the way of the things I normally read. I quite enjoyed it - I ( Read more... )

Hello, dear Yuletide author! I am fairly easy to please, as I like most things: gen, het, femmeslash, slash, OT3s, ridiculous adventure. Deliciously bittersweet fic is delightful, and so are fluff and rainbows and fun ( Read more... )

I like most things: gen, het, femmeslash, slash, OT3s, ridiculous adventure. Deliciously ( Read more... )

The Yuletide reveal is come upon us! At last, I can share my fics.

The main story

Erlkönigs Tochter, Princess Tutu, Fakir & Ahiru & fairytales. Betaed by isiscolo and asakiyume and also one of my RL friends, because I was having vapors about whether it worked ( Read more... )

You guys you guys, it is YULETIDE and I got TWO STORIES, both of which are AMAZINGLY AMAZING. Best Yuletide ever!

First, The Surly Bonds of Earth, a Code Name Verity/Ballet Shoes crossover from a TOTALLY MYSTERIOUS PERSON who is a TOTAL MYSTERY to me. Hearts times a thousand! Maddie meets Petrova Fossil when they're both ATA pilots. I love the ( Read more... )

I had splendid weekend! I have spent it being gloriously unproductive (unless reading Code Name Verity counts - more about that later). For lo! I have seen a cornucopia of friends.

1. Emma and Ryan were in town! We had pides and fried rice and chocolate brioche, and I got Emma to watch Phoebe in Wonderland, which she liked, which relieved me ( Read more... )
