Day 30

What are you reading right now? What are you thinking of it?

I just started The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: The Howling first in a new series by Maryrose Wood. which is definitely channeling some serious Wolves of Willoughby Chase. Which is delightful. I hope to like it as I read on, but no doubt you'll hear about it either way...

I also restarted Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief which I think I'll be able to read all the way through. It's like Garth Nix's Keys to the Kingdom series where some of the writing isn't up to my usual standards, but I'm choosing to look past that for an interesting story concept. Keys to the Kingdom was more of a page turner from the beginning, though.

Right now I have a lot of books on knitting out, as I'm trying to go beyond a simple stockinette and also...I don't have very much of anything out. Not much reading focus lately.


MERRY END OF THIS MEME!

Next month, fabricalchemist  decided to return the pain by coming up with a wicked cute photo/picture meme! Tomorrow you have your first break from in weeks, though.

Enjoy it.
November is NaNo and picspam!

I agree about Keys to the Kingdom :)

Hmmm. I just read a few books that I didn't particularly like. One was called Mirror Dance by an author whose first name is Lois, I think. I'm starting to realize that I don't like sci fi at all, with a few rare exceptions. I also read White Cat, by Holly Black, and it wasn't awful, but it wasn't that great, either.

I just read Eagle of the Ninth, by Rosemary Sutcliff, and I liked that. And The Exiled Queen, by Cinda Williams Chima, which I liked, but which wasn't as original as her other books. This one had a distinct The Name of the Wind feel, which was disappointing.

But! I did read To Say Nothing of the Dog, by Connie Willis, and I loved that. So much.

The meme was great! Here's to reading :)

I found the first few chapters of The Lightning Thief not-exactly-attention-grabbing, but it gets going soon enough, and I happily devoured the rest of the series. I haven't read either of Riordan's new books yet, though.
