Reading Wednesday
Aug. 21st, 2013 10:39 pmI keep not posting and not posting (though I'm on Twitter and Facebook a fair bit). So here I am posting.
What did you just finish reading?
Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. I don't think I enjoyed this one quite as much as Crazy for You, but it was fun to see the similarities between the two. I loved the villains in both books--that is to say, I think Crusie writes very compelling villains who view themselves as the heroes of the books. She's great with the supporting casts of characters as well. The main romance plot of Bet Me was fine, but what stuck with me most was the whole community of characters Crusie created.
San Diego 2014: The Last Stand of the California Browncoats by Mira Grant. Novella set in the universe of the Newsflesh trilogy, which I adore.
What are you reading now?
Black Light by Elizabeth Hand. This is my bookbag book, and it took awhile for me to get into it, but it's very compelling, with 1970s teenagers and creepy occult intrigue.
Moby Dick, via dailylit.com. It's fairly xenophobic in places, but also contains way more gay subtext than I was expecting.
What will you read next?
The new General Hospital tie-in book, Maine Squeeze "by Molly Lansing-Davis" appeared on my Kindle. I enjoyed the first one (Love in Maine) quite a bit.
I bought Elizabeth Hand's Errantry at Readercon and might feel like reading that when I finish Black Light.
