geh. My eyes are burning, it's only 11, and I have to wake up tomorrow, but look! I have a bookpost!
As if that was hard.
Day 8
Make a mini-list of the latest books you remember loving or at least liking (keep it to in the last year or so, or this could take all night)
White Cat
fabricalchemist found this one too choreographed, though Black is one of her favorite authors, but the neatness of I actually found enjoyable--maybe because my mother's a big fan of mysteries and so we get excited about books where the pieces fall into place at the end.
Wide Awake Princess
Her fairy gift was to be safe from magic, since her older sister Aurora was cursed, and worse, contact with her reveals what's behind the spells on other royals. When the whole castle goes to sleep and Anne is in no way waiting 100 years to get her family back, it could have devolved into more mundane fantasy quest, but it's just odd enough, just familiar enough, and yet led by two characters with intriguing personalities to be fun.

DIdn't read this one for the *first time* recently, but my crush on Koiwai remains unabated. <3 bachelor freelance translator stay-at-home dads with both a sense of balance and a sense of humor!
If only they came On Demand...
Ultimate Spiderman Vol 2
Oh man. I love Spiderman in his raw essentials of quirky, technical, smart-mouth kid who is also vulnerable and very cherishing of the people around him. And the comics really are the best source of him as such, be it the original or this spin-off and no doubt several incarnations I have not read...
And the Smoke is Briars

rhinemouse 's manuscript I am betaing at a snail's pace.
You all are going to have to wait until it comes out, and pray that the blind may see so it DOES, because the blend of manga epic fantasy tropes, keen worldbuilding, and mythology's high drama is pitch perfect for a discerning fangirl like me.
