I'm usually reading a couple, if not a few, books at one time. I've got Slaughterhouse Five next to the bed and I pick it up from time to time to read through my favorite parts. I think I'm going to take a break from Larrson, even though he's fucking awesome, and maybe Mieville, too, because goddamn can they get depressing.

Ooh, how is The Stepsister Scheme so far? I've been considering getting it.

[jaebility]

It was fun! Not exactly high literature, but the characters and plot were engaging. I don't think I'll buy the rest of the books in the series, but I will get them from the library.

What are your thoughts on the books you've read? Are there any mini reviews forthcoming?

[jaebility]

Yes! I've been planning out some reviews, but they'll probably end up just as short blurbs. If I do them at all.

So...what did you think?;)

I loved it. I devoured it - Read the whole thing in one afternoon because I couldn't put it down.

Excellent! I'd say my work here is done, but...gotta write a whole other book, so. Not so much.;)
