What are you reading Wednesday
Mar. 6th, 2013 09:05 pmCurrently - nothing yet.
Recently Finished - soon after the last post I finished Witch. Still very first novel with a strong dose of gamer world building.
Elizabeth C. Bunce's Star Crossed and Liar's Moon. I picked them up after reading a review that despite the name and being YA, there was a nice lack of romance in Star Crossed. And I loved Bunce's first book (a Rumpelstiltskin story by a woman who knows how fabric is made and a lack of creepy old men). I recommend these two, even if there is YA romance in the second book. I love the character who has to know secrets, but just wants to be left alone at the same time.
Barbara Hambly's Bride of the Rat God, which was a reread. All the best of Hambly: history, LA and sweet romances. It's a silly novel, but I love it.
Seanan McGuire's Midnight Blue-Light Special. Popcorn crack. So there I was, out of town for work, in a fancy hotel without even free wi-fi in the lobby. I failed my saving throw, and bought a day's worth of wi-fi (thankfully cheaper than I remembered) and then bought the ebook. Except I'd left my cable at home, and couldn't transfer it to my nook, so I read it on my laptop. And I finished it that night. I didn't get as much sleep as I could have. And now I'm wired and tired. Maybe I'll go lay in bed and rub my nose.
