Books and procrastinating
Jun. 13th, 2007 08:00 pmSeems like hiatus is a time for bonding with people over books...
I am still reeling about the wonderfulness of having other people with whom to share squee about Dunnett's The House of Niccolo series.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
c_mantix, dionusia and bitterlatinist have all started reading it, and I am so jubilant about hearing their thoughts! I started this comm for us: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
readingniccolo. And if you know of any other Niccolo readers out there, please send them over. Our only request is that they be good about spoilers--the books are so dependent on plot twists. (And eee newbie Dunnett readers are so cute! I want to rush around reassuring them all the time...)
Then I happened to stumble on some fellow GRR Martin fans in BSG fandom and we started babbling about favourite characters, speculation for future books, the possibly wonderful/possibly disastrous HBO series-to-be and so on:
-spinkkitty started the discussion
-m_a_r_i_k_s made this great post on her favourite ASOIAF characters.
If there are any other fans of A Song of Ice and Fire out there, feel free to come join in!
literaryll has put me on her own special correspondence course in DC Comics. I don't even know where to start on how wonderful she's been... *speechless* Her euphoric enthusiasm is incredibly infectious and I really do feel like I'm getting an education. *lol* In a good way. ;-) I'd post about the comics but her own posts on the matter are so gorgeous that really you'd be better off to head over to her journal. *g*
There are a stack of things on my fannish 'to do' list that I am totally ignoring. But it occurred to me that I have friended lots of new people recently and haven't updated my Ten Things to Know about Me (Warning: Niccolo readers! DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK--it has spoilers) for a really looong time--so much so that it's out of date: there's not even any BSG in there! Although it's cute to look back on.
So, here's Ten (New) Things to Know about Me (which you may or may not know already)
( Read more... )
Finally,mlsky wrote some interesting Lee meta--good news for those of us feeling a little starved of meta on hiatus. ;-)
