More bookish things
Nov. 10th, 2004 12:23 pmSo, I just finished the Anita Blake story in Cravings, which it turns out is the first three chapters of Incubus Dreams, the latest one. It took me a couple minutes poking around online to figure that out, but it just didn't feel like a short story. I finally tracked down confirmation in this interview. (Not-so-sekrit message for
channel_force: she is eventually planning another Edward-centric book.) Incubus Dreams is on hold for me at the library, so we'll see how that goes. Though I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to do some rereading first. Maybe I'll start at the very beginning. I'm planning on putting the Halloween decorations away, but spending the rest of the weekend curled up with completely gratuitous reading. Ie, nothing I'm reviewing, or even just storing away in the back of my head for later in a very tangled mental web of reader's advisory type links.
Anita Blake books would be by free association something like adult-vampires-smutty-alternate history not pseudo-medieval worldbuilding-long series-tenuous mystery/crime-horror-if you like Tanya Huff-maybesorta if you like the Kushiel books because of the BDSM content-gay characters-genre. The last book I reviewed got mentally filed under upper elementary-young ya-Canadian-romance-historical-1950s-holocaust a step removed-Jewish chars-prejudice-girl book-if you like Dear Canada etc.
Want to go home and curl up on the couch with hot chocolate and a book. Although I would undoubtedly end up with a small cat chewing on my head, as she's been doing lately. (Literally! On my head!)
Ah, well. Back to work.

And my friend's cat likes to suck on your shirt while kneading you and purring and purring.
Heh. Actually, my parents' cat does that as well.

Mind you, it's always accompanied by eighteen pounds of cat standing on your chest...
Oh, yes, that's always fun! };-)
