dhampyresaWhat did you finish reading
Still nothing and it is terrible.
What are you reading now
The Gospel of Loki, by Joanne Harris: I haven't made much progress with this, either. A few things are bugging me and in isolation they wouldn't be so bad, but it's the combination of them and the grater context of the Runemarks series that makes them grate. Ah well, I've got the book already I might as well finish it.
"We Have Always Fought": Essays on Fiction, Craft and Fandom, by Kameron Hurley: As the name suggests, it's a collection of essays by Kameron Hurley. It's available for free in various places and in various ebook formats. I've been reading Hurley's blog on and off since about the time the titular essay hit the internet. (It's since been nominated for a Hugo.) I'm not very far along the collection, but I like what I've read so far (and I like that we're given the url of where the essays were first posted).
What are you reading next
I don't know. A series, probably, I want books enough to sink my teeth in. On the one hand, I feel like now would be a good time to start reading Hurley's God's War, but I fucking hate bugs. She's got a new book coming out in August, though, so I will most likely read that. In the mean time, I think I might pick up the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (and then Heroes of Olympus?) since I remember liking the series way back when, I never did finish it and
ericadawn16 reminded me of its existence last week.
