Mar. 19th, 2014 09:13 pmWhat did you finish reading
The Shirt on His Back, by Barbara Hambly: I missed Rose but omg, this is so great! Hannibal is sober and clean! Shaw has a family and a baby named after him! And shaw needs ALL THE HUGS after this book, seriously.The murder of the mysteriously naked old man! Hannibal got married, hahaha what. MORNING STAR! She's so great, I love her. (I note that Ben considers 'without the slightest intention of remaining married to Hannibal' one of her qualities.) I'm kind of shipping Hannibal/Morning Star. Not in a true love forever kind of thing, but in a friends with benefits way. they certainly do care a lot about each other. Frankenstein allusions! Hannibal quoting the Tempest, because of course he is, and being manhandled a lot, because of course he is. I loved the inclusion of Morning Star's cousin the winkte (in general, I love the casual inclusion of LGBT characters in these books). Also, Ben calls Hannibal his partner! I have to admit I laughed every time people called Ben 'white man', because could this be more opposed to what he's called in New Orleans? And Hannibal being all 'no, you go ahead and leave me here, I will only slow you down' and Ben having none of it and saying he'll carry him if he has to? Amazing. And this bit broke my heart:
What are you reading now
Ran Away, by Barabara Hambly: WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME AYASHA WAS IN THIS BOOK? Because she is and she is so great. (Still weird to go, 'Hey I know that place!', haha) Also Science!Rose is the best Rose. Please keep making all the experiments Rose. Idk what's up with Hannibal's hair but I'm not sure I like it. UNDERGROUND RAILWAY OMG! These books. These books. Gabriel and Zizi-Marie and Willie living with Ben and Rose! Shaw defending Ben from whatshisname the journalist being an asshat. The Lady Jamilla!
Hannibal's Odyssey, by William Mahaney: Had to renew my loan at the library. I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to read it.
What are you reading next
Good Man Friday, by Barbara Hambly, then the short stories, then all the fic. And after that... OMG WHAT WILL I READ NEXT? I think I was considering Kameron Hurley's God's War way back when I started the Benjamin January books, so probably that.
I'll be waiting on the edge of my seat for the next book (Crimson Angel, I predict it will be very OT3-y). I will also be waiting on the edge of my seat for Darkness Over Cannae, not only because Hannibal (although I ♥ Hannibal), but also because how gorgeous is the art? (Depending on things, I might even get my brother a copy of it.)

The tribes were dying. There weren't even buffalo to be seen. Only dry wind, and heat.In conclusion, waugh! (I've no idea what it means, but everyone seems to be saying it and it looks like great fun to say. Waugh!)
