General comments:

[agentak.livejournal.com]

I believe that number ten should be an unreadable.

[(Anonymous)]

what
are we seeing the same #10 here

[(Anonymous)]

It sort of makes me want to claw my eyes out of my skull, but it's not unreadable.

[(Anonymous)]

I can read it fine. Must be the settings on your monitor (or maybe you're partly colorblind?).

[treehouseman.livejournal.com]

This could be an issue if you have an old monitor and have red-green colourblindness? It's showing up fine on LCD.

I was reading some of last week's secrets earlier today and I was wondering if there is a place where people regularly post some secrets they blingee'd up? After reading the secret and the comment thread for it, I would love to see what secrets people blingee up.
As a refresher:

Please tell me a place exists where people share blingee'd secrets.

So, fandom, ready to rec?

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Since the secrets (through no fault of their own :P) aren't really that interesting to me today, I though I could ask...

Any books to rec? :)

I don't care about genres or whether it's a series or not, I'm just looking for a book that really grabs you and won't let you put it down!

Suggestions? Favourites?

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[kestrellan.livejournal.com]

Yay, book recs! I'd like to recommend The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. It's technically a fantasy, but with lots of action, comedy and crime thrown in. It's the first in a series with only two books out so far and the author is unreliable a la GRRM, but I do think Lies can be read as a stand-alone novel.

I'd also rec GRRM, Pat Rothfuss and Robin Hobb if you haven't read any of their stuff already.

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[(Anonymous)]

Republic of Thieves, the next (final?) book in the Gentleman Bastards series, is coming out in November.

And just so you know, that "unreliable" author has been battling severe depression after his marriage fell apart, causing the 3 year delay.

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

A Song of Ice and Fire is already on my to read list for the summer. :D I will check those others out, too. Thanks for the recs. :) And as long as Lies doesn't end with a cliffhanger, I don't mind.

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[shah-of-blah.livejournal.com]

I just read "Ghostwritten" by David Mitchell and it was wonderful! It's sort of genre-defying, in that it's general fiction but with some wacky science and fun ghosts. Not to mention stunning characters, wonderful prose, and awesome introspection about the world...

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I read the summary and it sounds very interesting! Thank you!

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[lady-lilith.livejournal.com]

World War Z, Max Brooks. It's utterly believable, which is crazy from zombie fiction.

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[darlas-mom.livejournal.com]

Seconding this. Love that book SO MUCH.

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[loracarol.livejournal.com]

THIS BOOK.

YES.

HOLY SHIT YES.

THEY ABRIDGED THE AUDIOBOOK VERSION, AND IT PISSED ME OFF SFM.

I WISH I COULD GET A YOUTUBE THING TOGETHER WHERE ONE PERSON AUDITIONS FOR THE 'NARRATOR' ROLE, AND THEN PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER COULD SUBMIT THEIR OWN READINGS OF CERTAIN SECTIONS.

I just want that guy with the puppies to get a chance, okay? T___T

Also, OP, I'm rather fond of the 'Montmorency' series by Eleanor Updale, ANYTHING by Patricia C. Wrede, Tamora Pierce's books, and if you like fantasy/romance, the "Tales of the 500 Kingdoms" books by Mercedes Lackey. :)

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Zombie fiction you say? :D I can't believe I haven't read this yet, it sounds so awesome! Thanks for the rec! :)

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[zelda-dragon.livejournal.com]

"The Little Stranger" by Sarah Waters. It is one of the best books I have ever read. Fiction, with a touch of supernatural elements.

Or, if you don't mind classics, "The House of Mirth" by Edith Wharton or "Between the Acts" by Virginia Woolf. Both of those are stunning.

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

I certainly do not mind classics. ;) Thanks for the recs. ♥

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[stella-down.livejournal.com]

"Go Tell It on the Mountain" by James Baldwin blows my mind every time I reread it. it's about a screwed up family in Harlem in the '30s grappling with love and religion (and way better than my horrible description).

and "Mother Night" by Vonnegut is so funny and depressing that it kills me.

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[delwynmarch.livejournal.com]

The Mother Earth series by Ally Blue (Dragon's Kiss and Shenandoah). Gay romance between warrior men, and a touch of fantasy, in a post-apocalyptic primitive world. Love the world, and love love love the characters.

Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

[violettomoe2.livejournal.com]

Sorry to be late, but these are some of my favourite books:

Wind Up Bird Chronicle, by Haruki Murakami (it starts off slow, but it's sort of surreal and I think it's interesting. The war parts were especially good.)

Angelica, by Arthur Phillips (About a Victorian family whose daughter seems to be haunted by a ghost. Most of the book is through the mother's POV, in third person, but then goes through the rest of the family and the exorcist.)

Water For Elephants, by Sarah Gruen (Man joins the circus as a veterinarian and falls in love with a co-worker. It switches between then and his 90 year-old self and I thought his voice was just engrossing.)

Ella Minnow Pea, by Mark Dunn (There's an island where people idolize the creator of "The quick fox" phrase. He is a statue with the phrase underneath; the letters fall one by one and the island council sees it as a sign to leave out the letters in their speech and mail, with consequences to whomever uses them after the deadline. Written in letters and an easy read. If you like it, you should also check out his other book "Under the Harrow".)

Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman (Man helps a girl on the street, who is a princess escaping assassination. They travel 'London Below' to stop the enemies. Good fantasy read.)

The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To, by D.C. Pierson (Exactly what it says, though it's mostly a teen friendship story. Not the best ending, but I felt the rest of the story was worth a read and I just liked reading about their teen adventures.)

Skeleton Creek series, by Patrick Carman (YA, but interesting and well-written. I've only read the first two, since technically the main story ended there. Guy and his lady friend investigated the nearby abandoned mill in their small town, and are forbidden from seeing each other. They send each other emails and look into a secret society based around the mill.)

Rebecca, by Daphne Du Maurier (Nameless protagonist marries a widow and lives in a huge English manor where the previous wife is the talk of everyone. A good classic; I personally found the scenery descriptions hard to read but everything else was fine.)

We Have Always Lived in the Castle, by Shirley Jackson (A girl and her older sister live in a castle above the town and rarely come out because of the peoples' hatred for them. One of their cousins come by and try to coax them out. It's short and has nice suspense.)

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs (I actually haven't read it, but I plan to and it sounded very nice! It's about a boy whose grandfather told him all about the peculiar children and showed him photographs. His grandfather dies when he is a teenager, but he receives a letter that prompts him to investigate an island in search of the children. There's also actual photographs included within the book.)

I'm sorry that I don't know much of your tastes, but I hope you find at least one book you like in this list C:

[darlas-mom.livejournal.com]

I'm still thinking about yesterday's secrets. How hard would it be to make a kink-only version of Yuletide? What'd be a good name for it?

[tenonthedot.livejournal.com]

Talking about over-rated books, I thought the Hunger Games was completely over-rated.

[nuclearxsquid.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I read the first one, didn't feel the need to complete the series.
