Very few people are unaware that The Dark Is Rising is possibly my favourite series of books in the history of ever. Still, I haven't done a series of proper reviews for them, which is a horrible shame, and I'm going to do that this time through ( Read more... )

So, thanks to reading genderswitch fic in the Supernatural fandom, I have this strange bunny for The Dark Is Rising. It starts with Will showing up on Bran's doorstep, still in his male clothes, after some kind of problem to do with his work for the Light -- some mythical artefact, perhaps: I haven't got my copy of the Mabinogion here with me, but ( Read more... )

I know my last recs post was fairly recent, but my del.icio.us account has been amassing quite a few links in the meantime. Probably due to me reading more fic. If we talk on IM often, share the same flist content, share fic recommendations or you watch my del.icio.us, then you've probably seen all these before.
