A League of Dragons by Naomi Novik (the last Temeraire book)
...I seem to have come out of this book shipping Laurence/Napoleon. Why oh why did I not finish this two days earlier? Then I could've nominated/requested that for Yuletide. Augh. As it is, Laurence is obviously nominated but not Napoleon. And I really want post-series fic about them now. *goes to check the archive to see if there already is any fic*
Er, maybe I should also write a review of the book. I enjoyed it, obviously! Enough said.
The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert
What a wonderful surprise! Someone gave me this for Christmas, probably on the basis of it having mosses on the cover, and it felt vaguely like a chore to start it since I knew nothing at all about it. And then it was actually really good! Definitely going on my top ten of the year. It's about a 19th century woman who is a naturalist specializing in mosses, and it's just very engaging and well written. I want to talk about the ending, but I also don't want to spoil it.
