books are saving my life (as usual)

• What are you currently reading?

Defender. Well, that would be the timeskip. I thought one must exist, but expected it to fall between trilogies. No, Cherryh found it necessary to instead skip the "Ilisidi gives the station what-for" section that I would have deeply enjoyed reading. At least we have Cajeiri now. Age six; does he ever get to be a fortunate age?

In bed, Forgotten Truth, and boy I wish Dawn Cook were getting to write instead of Kim Harrison. I do not give one fuck about the Hollows series, and Cook's stuff is quite enjoyable. I also had a fine interaction with a librarian about getting the ebook for the next one in this series, as the site was confusing. Now the bug has been reported, I understand why similar things are trouble, and I know how to look in a place that will give me accurate info. I think the only times I've been satisfied by online-chat customer service have been with librarians.

• What did you recently finish reading?

Previous Truths, previous atevi books. I feel like there must be more than that, but I think no. Doom and illness have reigned.

• What do you think you’ll read next?

Having claimed I would read Les Miserables, clearly I should proceed to do something completely different.
