dhampyresaI am operating on about 3 brain cells right now because of this thing that has pretty much reduced me to tears, so apologies if this incoherent.
What did you finish reading
Good Man Friday, by Barbara Hambly: I see what you did there by comparing Poe to a raven. I liked it, overall, but I missed Hannibal and Rose terribly. I really liked Mede so :( for that. I did like that his brother loved him and what he did for him (sure, it was a terrible thing, but she sold Dominique and Charmian and Thérèse into slavery so I can't feel bad for her). Poe as Ben's sidekick was pretty cool, as was BASEBALL, but still no Rose or Hannibal. I feel like a lot of the politics went right over my head as evidenced by my LOL JOHN ADAMS reaction every time he was mentionned. He's a US president? I think? Idk what was going on here aside from there being graverobbers and baseball matches and stuff.
What are you reading now
The Benjamin January short story, Libre, Hannibal's Odyssey and the incomplete first draft of a friend's novel. It's slow going, because I keep making notes such as "we're not even on page 10 yet there are 5 locales and over a dozen characters i like none of them because I have no idea who they and also idk waht is going and another fucking flashback already omg what is wrong with you".
What are you reading next
The other Benjamin January short stories and after that idk.

"Well, after he ate the entire cake, he was very determined to do so."
"He didn't take a nap either, did he?"
"...no. But I have gotten him to memorize the first lines of Dante's Inferno!"
