What Am I Reading Wednesday, August 19, 2015

[hoursgoneby]

What I Just Finished Reading: Well, skipping over everything I've read since I last posted in the interests of just starting over, Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner and The Bone Key by Sarah Monette. Still looking for work and it's pretty stressful (apparently looking for work is a skill heavily skewed toward extroverts, which I am not, and that isn't helping) so yeah, I'm reverting to my comfort books. No little iced cakes to go with them, but I did have a donut with sprinkles earlier this week, so that'll have to do.

Ooh. Little iced cakes with sprinkles. If it weren't so damned hot I'd consider doing some baking.

What I'm Currently Reading: The Privilege of the Sword, by Ellen Kushner. Articles on how to write resumes and cover letters and search for work. Also, codex entries in Dragon Age: Inquisition, which I may be slightly obsessed with.

What I'm Reading Next: I don't know yet. The Stack is still staring at me though, so I'm sure I can find something. Anyone have suggestions?

Did I read The Bone Key? I think I might have; does it have Felix in it? I didn't love those books, alas; apparently I was saving my love for The Goblin Emperor. *loves*

And hooray! For Swordspoint, of course, and The Privilege of the Sword. Will you go in to The Fall of the Kinds, do you think? It's very different from the first two, so I love it in a different way.

Looking for work is no fun, ever. Good thing we have books to distract us. *sends positive energy*

Felix is one of the protagonists of The Doctrine of Labyrinths (DoL), but doesn't appear in The Bone Key, which is an anthology of connected short stories starring Kyle Murchison Booth. It's quite different from DoL, which are both different from The Goblin Emperor - which is also one of my comfort books.:)

I think so. I'm just so curious about it now!

Aww, thanks! ^_^
