What are you reading?

[(Anonymous)]

I still need 2 books to get my 12 for the year.

Re: What are you reading?

I was given a 1912 edition of A Christmas Carol recently, so I'm reading that one. Other than that, not much. Nobody is writing the type of books I like to read. I like traditional fantasy novels, give me a wizard, an orphan who is the true king, and a couple of elves all on a quest in the green wood fair, and I'm happy. I would like more books like that.

Re: What are you reading?

Between You, Me, and the Honeybees by Amelia Diane Coombs. I'm halfway through it and it's pretty cute so far.

Re: What are you reading?

I will be re-reading 84, Charing Cross Road for comfort tonight.

Re: What are you reading?

[philstar22]

Rereading the Lord of the Rings at the moment.

Re: What are you reading?

I recently read Belladonna which I LOVED. I am in the middle of the second book of the Discovery of Witches series but as much as I like the idea, the first two books are almost 800 pages each and it's honestly a bit of a slog...

Re: What are you reading?

[tabaqui]

Re-reading Shogun (James Clavell) for the first time in 20 years, and also re-reading the Hunger Games books.

Re: What are you reading?

She Who Became The Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan.

I bought this a while ago because I read historical fiction from time to time but always go for obvious things like Medieval Europe, so I was like "China in the 14th century? Definitely out of my comfort zone" - it's also a reimagining with Zhu Yuanzhang actually being the sister who took on her (deceased) brother's identity and outwardly lived as a man for the rest of her life.

I'll be honest, even though the premise hooked me I'm finding it a slower read than I expected. The prose is lovely but there's just a lot of pages of nothing and then you get a flurry of stuff and Zhu isn't even the main character for much of it. I'm still enjoying it, just not as much as I expected!

Other books I've read recently and enjoyed: Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield (part atmospheric semi-body horror, part meditation on the nature of grief and also change in an established relationship) and The Five by Hallie Rubenhold (an account of the lives of the 'canon five' killed by Jack the Ripper, it essentially says "fuck talking about that guy" and tells you about the real lived experiences of those five women.)

Re: What are you reading?

This Wicked Fate by Kalynn Bayron (a sequel to This Poison Heart) - it's a YA novel that's a modern day fantasy mixed in with references to Greek mythology.

Also nearly finished reading 'Transgender Warriors: Making History from Joan of Arc to Dennis Rodman' by Leslie Feinberg, which is part autobiography and part history book that's been a very interesting read.

Re: What are you reading?

[(Anonymous)]

Currently on a good pace on the Silmarillion. Aside from that I'm reading "Her Majestys Royal Coven" which is a modern take about witches in the UK and has an interesting twist. Curious how it'll end.

Weekend Plans!

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing? I am visiting my sister with my niblings. I am already regretting it. They are just so loud. And never stop. 😤

Re: Weekend Plans!

[(Anonymous)]

Actually same. It's my sister's birthday tomorrow. I finally managed to finish her present too (I made her a silver pendant)

Re: Weekend Plans!

[(Anonymous)]

Aw, good luck with your niblings! I'm going to an anime con. It's not that far, but traffic makes the trip twice as long as it should be, so I'm gonna leave early.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[philstar22]

Tomorrow the family is going to Black Panther 2 and then to lunch at a local Thai place. Since I plan on getting a cocktail at the restaurant, probably going to take a nap when I get home.

Other than that, continuing my DS9 rewatch.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[tabaqui]

Gearing up for work; my work 'week' starts tonight. Also dog-sitting the exSO's dog (who used to be 'our' dog).

Poor thing's hips are going and she has to wear little braces on her front legs. She's a big dog, so there's no lifting her if she falls. I love her, but...it's very worrying.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[(Anonymous)]

Hoping to visit Shackleton's grave on South Georgia, weather permitting.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[pantswarrior]

Lying in bed a lot unless there's a Pokemon Go thing I've forgotten about, and trying to get back in the swing of fandom stuff I can do while lying in bed.

Between the con last weekend and the employment stuff going on last week right before I left and picking up again the day after I got back, I am so drained and tired. But both are done and I can get back to the "normal but disabled life" I'm used to. Except that I'm getting $500ish more on every paycheck. So I should rest. And write. And draw.

Laying down... with migraines... bad migraine day. There is a situation stressing me out, and that triggered the insomnia which in turn triggers the migraines so yeah. Wish I could feel calm enough to take a nap at least. Soo I am planning to lay down. And relax.

And play mobile games once my energy is recharged 'cause there is an event going on.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[(Anonymous)]

Gonna enjoy the recent DeviantArt drama that has ignited on Twitter. Watching all these shitty social sites implode on themselves in real time is absolutely delicious.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[(Anonymous)]

my mum finally caught Covid but she’s isolating at my sister’s so I’m gonna spend all weekend worrying 🫠

Re: Weekend Plans!

[(Anonymous)]

Getting some art framed for my aunt's Christmas gift and keeping an eye out on my husband (as he witnessed a pedestrian/car collision while I was at the office). He seems okay at the moment, but he was initially pretty rattled.

Two random questions

[(Anonymous)]

1.) If you take out a corner piece of a solved Rubik's cube and put it back in the wrong way around, does it become impossible to re-solve without removing a piece again? Or can it always be solved no matter what?

2.) Where do people ask random questions like this now that Yahoo Answers is gone?

What are you watching today?

[(Anonymous)]

Adjacent to the reading thread above, I'm currently giving the Malice@Doll (2001) OVA a go.

Embarrassing Sex Question

[(Anonymous)]

I'm really embarrassed to ask this, but my only sexual experiences have been with vaginas and I've never been interested enough in men to check out their groin areas. I'm writing my first erotic fic involving men, and I need to know: What happens to a penis when it gets aroused? Does it rise slowly like a corpse out of a coffin, or does it pop up like BOING!!!! Does its volume expand slowly like Austin Powers blowing up that balloon or does it become fully engorged with a snap of a finger? Does it ever poke out of an open fly?
