alias_sqbrWhat I read:
Princess Princess a very cute little webcomic about princesses saving themselves and each other, it's complete and only 44 pages long.
What I'm currently reading:
Unlondon by China Mieville. I am stalled on this because the bad guy hits some of my horror squicks, I decided to take time off while I was sick and am now skimming it, hopefully past a certain point I'll gain momentum.
A Brighter Spark by Mary Borsellino: a romance novel by a friend of a friend I got for free. It's nice enough but I ran out of momentum, I have trouble relating to women with the typical chic-lit-ish worries about trying to balance motherhood with work and feeling young and sexy etc. I know a lot of women do worry about those things, but it's really not my experience.
What I've been playing:
Omega DLC for Mass Effect 3. Badass canonically queer women with complicated history blowing the crap out of stuff :D Shepard takes a bit of a backseat as the thousand year old amoral alien mob boss Aria and her Old Friend Nyreen take back Omega from Cerberus. The plot is very conventional apart from being about women, I saw certain things coming a mile away and sighed "Oh Bioware", but I still enjoyed it. And we FINALLY HAVE A FEMALE TURIAN. (Ok there was one in Citadel too but this came out first, plus Nyreen has a name and history and stuff)
Heileen 3, but I already reviewed that.
