The book meme that's going around
Mar. 6th, 2011 10:16 pmReally need to get that invisibleSherlock!fic posted in the next couple of days. :| Right!
The books I am reading: I just finished Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier, Vivaldi's Virgins by Barbara Quick, and Nemesis, the latest Marcus Didius Falco book by Lindsay Davis. Next up is the David Liss book, The Devil's Company.
The book I am writing: Finishing up my Nano from last year, a horror/fantasy/bananas thing about people walking through walls.
The book I love most: I really, truly, honestly cannot answer this question.
The last book I received as a gift: I think it was The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, from my dad. (Am I the only person who was meh about those books? I read them and I recognize intellectually that they were good and all, but I have zero desire to pick them up again.)
The last book I gave as a gift: The first Flavia de Luce book (The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie) by Allan Bradley, to my best friend for Christmas. If anybody is reading this: it's a mystery series set in 1950s England starring Flavia de Luce, who is Lyra Belacqua crossed with BBC's Sherlock, and it is awesome. YOU MUST READ THEM RIGHT NOW.
The nearest book on my desk: Poison, by Sara Poole. This kind of book should be right up my alley--it's got a badass female lead and Renaissance history and scheming and deviousness and cleverness--but for some reason it's leaving me completely flat. I keep dipping in and out of it while I'm waiting for stuff to load on my computer--not unable to put it down.
I crave a Kobo e-book reader in ways that are profound and unknown to man. :/
