Reading plans? Disrupted.
Posted March 3, 2016
on:Remember all those plans I had? To pick up The Goblin Emperor, or finally write a review of Hearne’s Hounded or Pinborough’s The Death House?
Yeah, those got completely and thoroughly disrupted. Because, on a whim, I picked this up instead:
and oh good god it is amazing. it’s a bazillion pages long and I am devouring it. Ladies? You’re gonna want to read this. Gents? this is a girly book. Buy it for a lady in your life, she will thank you. it’s sexy, has tons of awesome history stuff, it’s fast paced, and also, very sexy.
This stuff came into the house fairly recently too:
Down and Out in Purgatory, by Tim Powers, out in June from Subterranean Press. It’s Tim Powers, so I know it’s going to be good.
84 Charing Cross Road, Helene Hanff’s famous 1970 account of her twenty year correspondence relationship with a rare book dealer. I haven’t seen the movie, but I know how this story ends. please don’t wreck it in the comments for people who don’t know.
Worst Contact, edited by Hank Davis – a new anthology of mostly older first contact stories. Promises to be entertaining
The Lyre Thief by Jennifer Fallon – out next week from Tor. Neat premise, giggle-worthy character names.
too many books, not enough time, reading plans turned upside down on a lark. the life of a book blogger, yeah?

I loved The Lyre Thief…LOVED it! I hope you enjoy it too.
And I know what you mean, I get derailed on a daily basis. March is going to be especially tough, with all these great books coming out to distract me…

I loved Outlander!! I have read it a couple times… Never felt compelled to read on in the series, though. Maybe one day!

As a blogger who frequently gets derailed by what I want to consume rather than what I “should”/planned to be watching, don’t let it bother you. I feel like it’s good to compel myself to try something I’m not totally hyped on once in a while, so I don’t spend all my time in my comfort zone, but when the hype train hits? Ride that sukka!
I should buy this book for my girlfriend. Also, I should get a girlfriend. Orz
