luzulaMeh, I have a cold and am kind of miserable. /o\ On the bright side, it's the first cold I've had this fall and winter.
Current reading and listening:
Just finished listening to Patrick Ness' The Knife of Never Letting Go. I picked it up because it's a Tiptree award winner, and yeah, I can see why--it does some pretty interesting things with gender and also with telepathy. It's also a YA book and has a fast-paced plot with plenty of narrow escapes and ends in a terrible cliff-hanger, which I did not know beforehand (I had somehow missed that it's the first in a series). Must get next part. The reader is good, so yeah, I recommend this over all. Anyone else read/listened to it?
Also recently finished Molly Gloss' Wild Life, which I'd set aside halfway through in order to immerse myself in Yuletide. I liked the first half, but I loved the second. In fact, it hits me right in one of my narrative kinks--stories that explore the relationship of humans to nature. *rolls around happily* Will definitely search out more of her books.
I wrote 700 words yesterday on the asexual-Fraser story, and signed up forficfinishing to work on it, too. \o/ Also, I should start doing some rewriting on my long Victoria story. I haven't reread it for months, and while I'm quite happy with parts of it, I also know there's lots of stuff that needs fixing. Augh, the inertia. Someone tell me sternly to do it?
