The Collegia Magica by Carol Berg — This was my second time through these books, and I find them a very interesting experience. The world the author has created is solidly conceived, makes sense, and fascinates. The characters she populates it with are...AEL: Tomb of the Golden Bird, Career of Evil, Night at the Fiestas, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Wild Seed
Tomb of the Golden Bird by Elizabeth Peters — Tutankhamen’s tomb is very interesting, and I like thinking and reading about it. And it was obvious the author had to bring the series up to that point in Egyptological history. But by this book, I always get...AEL: Black Panther, The Cuckoo’s Calling, Differently Morphous, The Serpent on the Crown, The Silkworm, JL and JLU, The Far Side of the World
Black Panther — Still pretty upset with myself for not taking notes. I believed I might manage to see this movie again before I got around to writing up my thoughts on it, and then I’d be able to give a more coherent impression of my experience, but guess...AEL: The Dark Knight Returns, Alice’s Adventures, It Follows, Children of the Storm, Kokoro
Aight, here’s the second instance of doing this on a schedule. I feel it working already!!! I’m not anywhere close to caught up yet, and again I have a bunch of items from before with no notes that I just have to remember my experience with, but I still...AEL: Kindred, three AP’s, The Great Gatsby, KIX-S, Room, two A/M’s
OK, maybe if I do these every other Saturday, opposite my TWIP’s, it’ll work better? I’ll try it. Kindred by Octavia Butler — I don’t know exactly what to say about this book. It was a fascinating read and I loved it, but it’s been...AEL: The Fortune of War, three AP books, the rest of The Dark Is Rising Sequence, The Westing Game, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, SU eps, Frozen short films, Zootopia, The Surgeon’s Mate
The Fortune of War by Patrick O’Brian — After enjoying the previous book so much, I definitely loved this direct continuation of the story. I was wondering for a while how this author could possibly have written twenty freaking books in this series, but it...AEL: Jam, Aubrey/Maturin 3-5, AP 6-10, The Twilight Saga, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, RK Hokkaido, RK Musical, The Ship of the Dead, Sunshine, SU eps, Over Sea Under Stone
Geez, what happened to this. Tumblr addiction happened to this. OK, the shortest of short mentions (as pre-existing notes allow) for each item until I get caught the fuck up here. Jam by Yahtzee Croshaw — I love this book. It’s a great disaster survival...AEL: The Mill on the Floss, ST:TOS, LoK Turf War pt 1, Fledgling, The Deeds of the Disturber
The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot — *deep breath* I made a decent amount of notes about this one, but the red veil of rage drapes across my trembling form whenever I think about it, so we’ll see how much (and how coherently) I manage here. Just like...AEL: Under the Red Hood, The Diaries of Adam and Eve, Danger and Eggs, Post Captain, In A Heartbeat, Lion in the Valley
Under the Red Hood — Of course all the DC animated movies featuring Batman are on my Amazon watch list (excepting the ones I know do terrible, offensive things to characters I love), but a friend had recommended I watch this one firstish. And then I saw a clip...AEL: The Candle in the Wind, The Murder of Mary Russell, The Light Princess, Frances, JatH, BatB (again), The Book of Merlyn, AP 1-3, Wizard People, Justice League, Master and Commander, The Enchanted Castle, Kissing the Witch, Transparent
12 days ’til I turn 37! The Candle in the Wind by T.H. White — If the previous installment was the fanfiction leadup to the inevitable, this one is the leisurely, meaty examination of that inevitable. It’s ridiculously sad, and a brilliant dramatic...You are immortal
Dear Elizabeth Peters, Endless thanks and love. We’ll meet you on the cliffs above Deir el Bahri.I ain’t never seen nothin’ that’ll make me go this crazy all night spendin’ my dough
I meant to spend some of the hour between shower and bed last night making this entry, but instead I blew the entire hour answering questions on OKCupid XD So anyway, yesterday his face informed us that some people choose which gender they want to be, and then their...I’d sail before a thousand moons, never finding where to go
Oh, my fucking fuck, you guys, chocolate Twizzlers. So my interview today seemed kinda meh. This is a good thing, since usually when I feel really positive about an interview I never hear from the people again. Turns out his face wasn’t at school yesterday, and...Bookmn
I’ve mentioned before the reasons I feel so sad every time I finish Amelia, so I won’t repeat myself. But I do have a few other random Amelia thoughts: She gets Sennia’s eye color wrong in the last book. I mentioned this (just as a point of interest,...
