Reading Wednesday
Nov. 13th, 2013 05:14 pmI haven't posted in LJ this month yet? Sheesh.
What did you just read?
Rebecca Stead, When You Reach Me. I forget who on my FL recommended this, but it's set in 1970s New York, which is relevant to my interests. It's a twisty time-travel-ish mystery and an homage to A Wrinkle in Time. I enjoyed it very much (and would have loved it as a kid), even though I figured out the mystery awhile before the protagonist did.
What are you reading now?
For a writing project, I've been rereading a childhood favorite of mine, Shirley Jackson's The Witchcraft of Salem Village (which was certainly the first thing of Jackson's I ever read, to the point that when I rediscovered it, I hadn't even realized she'd written it).
I've been enjoying the new issue of Interfictions, especially Molly Gloss's tale of alternate rock'n'roll history, "The Presley Brothers." The issue also contains gorgeous poetry by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sovay, Sara Norja, Nancy Hightower and others.
