And the last questions from the book meme, for littlerhymes!

16. That book you don’t dare reread for fear it won’t be the same anymore.

I am actually pretty fearless on this score. I recently (well, within the last few years) reread a couple of books that had been important to me when I was twelve or thirteen: the Babysitter’s Club book Claudia and the New ( Read more... )

Two more question for the book meme, for egelantier. Who picked hard ones ( Read more... )

For inspirethoughts: 21. A book you gave up on, and the reasons why ( Read more... )

For lost_spook: 30. The book you read the blurb of, constructed a version of in your mind, and were promptly disappointed by once you finally got around to actually reading it

Okay, you know Sherman Alexie’s The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven? I’m not sure I even read the blurb before I had constructed a beautiful version of this book where the ( Read more... )

More book meme! For evelyn_b again. I tried to be a bit more concise this time.

5. Which genre(s) don’t you read? Why not?

I hate to say that I don’t read in a genre, because there always seem to be exceptions: I barely ever read horror, for instance, but I did read Stephen King’s Misery, which is awesome and terrifying. Or I don’t read a lot of ( Read more... )

Via tamsinwillougby, a meme!

Fave fandom:

The only fandom I'm really in right now is Captain America (the wait for Civil War is crushing me), so that wins by default. I had some lovely times in the past in Sutcliff fandom and in my little Owen/Ianto corner of Torchwood, though.

One letter, six questions meme. evelyn_b gave me J, which is surprisingly hard! Or maybe any letter might have been difficult; I guess I’m just not used to grouping things alphabetically in my mind.

Something I hate: Man, this is hard. I thought the movie Judgment at Nuremberg was pretentious and not nearly as morally insightful as it thought, but I felt ( Read more... )

Total Word Count: 160,668 words

Total Number of Fandoms: Two, I guess. Almost all Captain America, with one Pepper & Natasha fic set during Iron Man 2. (I’ve been thinking about writing a PepperNat sequel to that one. “I’ll miss you after leaving Stark Industries,” Natasha said ( Read more... )

For poeticknowledge: Best birthday and Christmas gift ever received?

Confession time: I have a rather poor memory for when I got things. I remember such-and-such a thing was a gift, and generally I can pinpoint who gave it to me, but I usually can’t remember if it was for Christmas or birthday or just because or who knows what.

For instance, poeticknowledge sent me a ( Read more... )
