Books 2011

I'd like to say that I've really gotten behind in updating this, but the sad truth is that I haven't been reading all that much. Unless you count the kids' books I read to my students :)

Read so far:

1. The Name of the Wind (Kingkiller Chronicles) by Patrick Rothfuss [x] [N]
2. The Light of Eidon by Karen Hancock [x] [N]
3. Poison Study by Maria Snyder [N]
4. Kushiel's Dart by Jacquline Carey
5. Clockwork Heart by Dru Pagliassotti [x]
6. Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card [x] [N]
7. Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier
8. Wheel of the Infinite by Martha Wells [x] [L]
9. The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss [x] [N]
10. North and South by Elisabeth Gaskell [x] [N]

Currently reading:


Key: x = first time read | L = library book | A = audio book | N = nook

As far as what to read now... I don't know. Can't be something written in 1st person because I'm currently trying to write something in 3rd. I went through Amazon's SF/F section but I feel like everything there is 1) something I've already read, 2) vampire crap, 3) urban fantasy, which I find to be blegh, or... well I guess that's pretty much it. Or they're not well-priced for e-books. Sorry, I'm not paying $12 for an e-book when the physical version is $10. That's ridiculous.

"It's Sunday, Sunday" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

- Decided to reread Sense and Sensibility, mainly because whatever I'm reading tends to leak into my writing a bit, and I don't want to start edging into too modern of a voice.

- Had Peter/Olivia dreams last night :D Plus some weirder ones I won't mention.

- I've been wanting to lose a little weight but I abhor exercise. However, cutting down on my intake has almost gotten me back down into the 150s. Woohoo.

- Errands today: Target and eyebrows. Oh, and maybe redying my hair.

I was hoping Game of Thrones might be leaked online before tonight, but so far no luck.

Well played, HBO. Well played.

So far have written two chapters of my current plot bunny (working title: Heaven is Full). It's gone disturbingly well, although it took me ages to get started. I'm hearing the characters well. I'm not struggling with pacing, although I have a tendency to infodump in my first drafts. I may go back and reread it in a couple days and decide it's all crap, but for the moment I'm relatively happy.
