Apparently it's book day or something?

Books I'm reading:
Turning the Page by Georgia Beers
A Spy In The House by Y S Lee
The Cartoon History of the World by Larry Gonick Jr

And I'm going to start "The Duke and I" by Julia Quinn once I finish one of those. I'm theoretically reading many more, but have stalled so long I can't even remember what they are.

Books I'm writing:
I'm currently in the very early planning stages of an original femslash visual novel with some people on tumblr. It's plausibly going to be about gothic vampires. (It has novel in the title, it counts!)

Book that I love the most:
Lol I have no idea. Pride and Prejudice has stayed dear to me the longest, I guess.

Last book I received as a gift:
"Anya's Ghost" by Vera Broscol.

Last book I gave as a gift:
Well, I just sent someone "Armageddon's Children" by Terry Brooks but it's still in transit. Also, I haven't read it, it was a request. So..."Meanwhile" by Jason Shiga.

Nearest book:
"The Agency", partly because I had to move it down to remind myself of the details, but also because it was at the head of my bed (where it has been for some time, I'm having trouble getting through it)

Thus far I am annoyed that she TWICE set up interesting situations in the main character's backstory only to go "And then time passed" so that she could rush forward to the solving mysteries bit, which makes me worry that this is one of those procedural series with little character development or overall plot continuity. I do not enjoy such series, and the worry has put me off continuing even though I am actually enjoying the book. I should see if I can find someone else who's finished it to tell me if I'm being over paranoid.

Hm, ok. Thanks for the heads up - I'll try not to get too invested in the backstory stuff.
